FFe+SRU: update gce-compute-image-packages from 20220211.00 to 20230328.00

=====

One of your cloud partners have informed us that there is a customer issue blocking on this update, so we are attempting to expedite it ahead of (despite) Lunar’s release.

This package is in universe and is not seeded so there'll be no need to re-spin the images.

The update includes small bugfixes and a small feature addition -
Support multiple local SSD controllers. (#39). This feature addition can be viewed here https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/guest-configs/commit/3841945135c9565af3196f695203aec349946f89. This feature addition does not significantly impact the codebase either so it can be considered safe.

The current tag is 20220211.00 (in the archive), and the changes between 20220211.00 -> 20230328.00 are:

  * New upstream version 20230328.00
    - Fix a repository URL in packaging specs (#41)
    - Update owners file. (#43)
    - dhcp hostname: don't reset hostname if the hostname hasn't changed (#44)
    - Update OWNERS (#45)
    - Support multiple local SSD controllers. (#39)
    - set hostname: consider fully qualified static hostname (#46)

Let us know if you need any more information. Thank you!

[Impact]

compute-image-packages is provided by Google for installation within guests that run on Google Compute Engine. It is a collection of tools and daemons, packaged as gce-compute-image-packages, that ensure that the Ubuntu images published to GCE run properly on their platform.

Cloud platforms evolve at a rate that can't be handled in six-month increments, and they will often develop features that they would like to be available to customers who don't want to upgrade from earlier Ubuntu releases. As such, updating gce-compute-image-packages to more recent upstream releases is required within all Ubuntu releases, so they continue to function properly in their environment.

[Test Case]

When a new version of gce-compute-image-packages is uploaded to -proposed, the following will be done:

 * an image based on -proposed will be built for GCE and published to the ubuntu-os-cloud-devel project
 * the CPC team will write new automated tests to cover new testable functionality (if any) in the new package
 * the automated testing that the CPC team normally runs against GCE images before they are published will be run against the -proposed image
 * the GCE team will be asked to validate that the new package addresses the issues it is expected to address, and that the image passes their internal image validation.

If all the testing indicates that the image containing the new package is acceptable, verification will be considered to be done.

[Other Information]

This bug is used for tracking of releasing the new upstream version for all supported series, as per the approved policy mentioned in the following MRE:

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Why haven't these been verified? There's a new version now on the queue which replaces this one...

[Utkarsh Gupta (utkarsh)]

Hi Timo,

Actually, we received back-to-back requests and by the time this update was accepted into -proposed, the customer bumped the initial request and therefore LP: #2020770 was spun which superseded this one. So with having done the verification of the latter, this one will become moot.

How should we appropriately mark this bug as to reflect the same? Invalid? Or?

[Andrew Cloke (andrew-cloke)]

As this bug has effectively been superseded by LP #2020770, marking as "Invalid" as I don't have an option to mark as "Superseded".

[Utkarsh Gupta (utkarsh)]

As LP: #2020770 superseded this bug and the former one being verified, we can mark this one as verified because the newer builds are based on top of this one and so in the process of verifying the former one, this was is also verified. We ran our internal tests (CTF tests on the image) and Google also did the validation of these packages and the images we sent them. Adjusting the tags accordingly.
