[FFe] ubuntu-proxy-manager and adsys

[Gabriel Nagy]

Ubuntu Proxy Manager is a D-Bus mediated service that allows for managing system proxy settings via multiple backends (APT, environment variables and GSettings).

We request a FFe for this new source package (ubuntu-proxy-manager). As it's a new source package the risk of it breaking existing setups is non-existent as it must be explicitly opted into by users. The package is written in Go and benefits from an extensive test suite covering over 90% of the codebase.

Additionally, we would like to request a FFe for adsys where we added a Suggests dependency on ubuntu-proxy-manager. We have taken great care on the adsys part to maintain backwards compatibility and not affect users who do not install the ubuntu-proxy-manager package.

Installing the ubuntu-proxy-manager package on its own has no impact to the system. To benefit from its functionality adsys has to be upgraded and correctly configured.

This bug is mentioned from the adsys SRU .changes file but does not provide an SRU template. As this seems to reference a new feature (and new dependency), I would like to see this properly tested with a regression potential section filled in.

Also, this upload seems to add a Suggests: ubuntu-proxy-manager for jammy but there is no ubuntu-proxy-manager in jammy (and no upload in the queue).

[Denison Barbosa (justdenis)]

Hey, @sil2100! ubuntu-proxy-manager is just a suggested package and its absence does not impact adsys functionality. We have different situations for when the ubuntu-proxy-manager is present and when it isn't and both cases are tested.
We have plans for releasing it to Jammy later, but we made it a suggested package precisely so we wouldn't block adsys releases and SRUs on this package.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster) has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that specific release.

this still does not have the SRU information as requested ~11 months ago...
