** Description changed:
- WIP
+ [ Impact ]
+ * Users relying on Ubuntu Pro for WSL to automatically pro-attach their WSL
instances any time, including first boot, as currently supported by Noble and
later would be surprised with the lack of such feature in the upcoming images
of Jammy and Focal to be published in the new format outside of the MS Store.
+
+ * Since we're already making the seeds of the older LTSes with the latest
already published in that format compatible with each other, this is an
opportunity to introduce this key offering in a less-surprising way.
+ * This is specially attractive to companies, where workloads are more likely
to require older releases in specific cases, for which Ubuntu Pro is a
necessary measure.
+ * For users not relying on Pro for WSL this unit is mostly inert, apart from
frequent logs to the journal.
+
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ 1. Record the system status (systemctl status) after a regular boot first to
ensure the system was already healthy. If in doubt, create a new, fresh,
instance of Jammy with no startup issues. The 'systemctl status' should
consistently show 'running' (and not 'degraded').
+ 2. Enable proposed and make sure to have wsl-pro-service implicitly installed
by doing an 'apt update && apt upgrade -y';
+ 3. Reboot the instance a few times by exiting out of it and running 'wsl.exe
--shutdown' on Windows.
+ 4. Restart the instance a few times, noticing whether boot time is affected
or not by the updates and if the output of 'systemctl status' becomes
'degraded' or not.
+
+ The expected result is 'systemctl status' continuing to show 'running'
+ and no correlation between boot time and the update.
+
+ NOTE: Specific tests of wsl-pro-service were carried out in its own SRU.
+ Refer to LP: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wsl-pro-
+ service/+bug/2133940.
+
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ * Since wsl-pro-service ships a systemd unit, boot time could increased or
system startup could become degraded (as seen by 'systemctl status') if the
unit and binary were not carefully crafted with that in mind.
+
+
+ [ Other Info ]
+
+ * This SRU completes the work to make Jammy for WSL images compatible with
Noble and later.
+ * The changes herein proposed are a direct effect of running the './update'
script part of the 'ubuntu-meta' source package (the standard way to
synchronize it with the current state of the seed), excluding changes to the
desktop meta-package for RISC-V because they are unrelated to WSL and I'm not
aware of the needs for such changes. If they are needed, in fact they must be
presented in a specific SRU.
