Hi @raof, Thank you very much for the feedback!
re 1/ Those are some fair thoughts, but those should likely be discussed with the upstream contribution (https://github.com/canonical/netplan/pull/549), which is already merged since 6+ months. CC @crypticcoder Looking in $PATH can be problematic, because Netplan runs as a systemd- generator during (very) early boot, i.e. before any actuall service units. We might not have a full environment (PATH might not be populated) at this point in time, yet. For the integration into Ubuntu (SRU/backport), I don't see an issue, though. As the --prefix is defined as "/usr" (e.g. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/815953957/buildlog_ubuntu-questing- amd64.netplan.io_1.1.2-7ubuntu3_BUILDING.txt.gz) and --bindir is undefined, therefore falling back to the meson default of "bin" (https://mesonbuild.com/Builtin-options.html): netplan 1.1 User defined options buildtype : plain libdir : lib/x86_64-linux-gnu localstatedir : /var prefix : /usr python.bytecompile: -1 python.platlibdir : /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages python.purelibdir : /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages sysconfdir : /etc wrap_mode : nodownload re 2/ Yes, the package is in an unfortunate state, as we didn't see an upstream release in a while. I wanted to position this as a backport still, to make it clear form the version number. And I think the delta of removing/adopting a bunch of SRU-compatibiliy changes is smaller than the other way around. re 3/ I've enhanced the [Other Info] section accordingly: * This backport also adds a new "Suggests: systemd-resolved" to the "netplan.io" binary package, mostly for compatibility with Debian. This will not change behavior in Ubuntu, as systemd-resolved is already pre- installed and Suggests wouldn't be auto-installed anyway. ** Description changed: Stable Release Update for netplan.io 1.1.2-7ubuntu3 to Noble (and Plucky). This version contains bug fixes and new features we want to make available to users of Ubuntu 24.04. netplan.io has an SRU exception for backporting new versions with new features https://documentation.ubuntu.com/sru/en/latest/reference/exception- Netplan-Updates/ [ Impact ] This release contains both test fixes and new features and we would like to make sure all of our supported customers have access to these improvements. The notable ones are: * Allows non standard OVS setups (e.g. OVS from snap) - Switching from hard-coded /usr/bin/ovs-vsctl to dynamic detection of ovs-vsctl (e.g. /{usr,snap}/bin/ovs-vsctl) * Test improvements, especially for slower architectures such as riscv64 * Note: all new features come with corresponding build-time and DEP-8 integration tests, to confirm their functionality in autopkgtest-cloud. [ Test Plan ] The following development and SRU process was followed: https://documentation.ubuntu.com/sru/en/latest/reference/exception-Netplan-Updates/ Netplan contains an extensive integration test suite that is ran using the SRU package for each releases. This test suite's results are available here: http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/n/netplan.io A successful run is required before the proposed netplan package can be let into -updates. The netplan team will be in charge of attaching the artifacts and console output of the appropriate run to the bug. Netplan team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until this has happened. ADDITIONALLY: Also, we want to execute the NetworkManager DEP-8 test against the -proposed version of Netplan, to confirm the integration is still working as expected. Noble autopkgtest logs: - TBD Plucky autopkgtest logs: - TBD [ Where problems could occur ] * This is not a big release and has been available on Questing for some time without any concerning issues reported. * As usual, any backwards compatibility issue that prevents the new Netplan to parse existing YAML files would leave the system without networking configuration after a reboot or add unexpected logging output. Therefore, we added two patches in "d/p/sru-compat/*" to mute one warning and convert one error to a warning, as it used to be on Noble. * Notably, the feature to wait for DNS servers in systemd-networkd-wait- online has been dropped from the Noble backport, as it relies on upstream systemd functionality of systemd v258 (that has been backported to systemd 257.2-3ubuntu1 in Plucky) [ Other Info ] * Similar backports have been done in the past, e.g. bug #2103603 * A PPA for testing can be found at https://launchpad.net/~slyon/+archive/ubuntu/lp-2127195-backport-1.1.2-7u3/+packages + * This backport also adds a new "Suggests: systemd-resolved" to the + "netplan.io" binary package, mostly for compatibility with Debian. This + will not change behavior in Ubuntu, as systemd-resolved is already pre- + installed and Suggests wouldn't be auto-installed anyway. + [ Changelog ] * Backport netplan.io 1.1.2-7ubuntu3 (LP: #2127195) - Allows non standard OVS setups (e.g. OVS from snap) - Test improvements, especially for slower architectures such as riscv46 * SRU compatibility - d/gbp.con: Update for Noble - d/libnetplan1.symbols: keep it at the original version - d/p/series: Keep d/p/sru-compat/* patches - d/p/lp2083029/*: Keep properly structured patches for SRU - d/p/series: Drop wait-online-dns* which is incompatible with systemd v255 + d/control: Keep systemd dependency at v248 [ Git Changelog ] 9d15a9ba changelog 97305316 d/p/series,d/control: Drop wait-online-dns* which is incompatible with Noble. # NOBLE ONLY 9c6cd0cf d/p/lp2083029/*: Keep properly structured patches for SRU a250bb25 d/p/series: Keep d/p/sru-compat/* patches # NOBLE ONLY 2db99894 d/libnetplan1.symbols: keep it at the original version # NOBLE ONLY a917e41a d/gbp.conf: Update for Noble 4ec2437a changelog: Backport netplan.io 1.1.2-7ubuntu3 (LP: #2127195) ** Changed in: netplan.io (Ubuntu Plucky) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2127195 Title: [SRU] Backport netplan.io 1.1.2-7ubuntu3 to 24.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netplan.io/+bug/2127195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
