Bug Description
We use a LP build recipe that includes livecd-rootfs.
We are moving from bzr to git due to other projects moving to git.
When we import livecd-rootfs into git it does not commit empty
directories into the git tree. The livecd-
cpc/includes.
when we do this import.
Foundations team would also like to move the upstream repositories to git including for stable releases, and this change would need to be made as part of this.
[Impact]
* Importing the package and committing it to a git repository
drops empty directories from the ubuntu-
* Images built in the ubuntu-cpc project drop this directory which
is a regression
[Test Case]
* Create a bare git repo,
* Pull the livecd-rootfs from xenial-updates into the repo,
* Commit the code to git
* Use the committed code (fresh clone) to build the ubuntu-cpc project
* Inspect the images to see if /etc/network/
[Regression Potential]
* Low. This create a directory via dh_installdirs if it doesn't exist
already in the packaging. Builds from sources that include the
empty directory are not be impacted. The owner and permissions on
the directory are same.
