FFe+SRU: Please update the package to 20230808.00

[Utkarsh Gupta]

[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 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:

[Utkarsh Gupta (utkarsh)]

The diff b/w what we have in the archive v/s what we want to update to is trivial - https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/guest-configs/compare/20230403.00...20230808.00.

Looking at it closely, I really don't think this needs an FFe. But I'll swing this by the release team if they feel differently.

Also, even if there's a need of an FFe, I think this should be straightforward. Though the package is in main, it has a very narrow impact, and the changes look simple enough to not cause havoc. :)

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

This is fine. Looking through the diff the only feature-wise change would be the dracut module. Anyway, looks like a no-brainer from the FFe POV. Please proceed.

Hi SRU team,

Our candidates images were built, the internal CTF tests were successful, and GCE validated the following images:

Lunar: ubuntu-guest-lunar-amd64-server-20230927 and ubuntu-guest-lunar-arm64-server-20230927
Jammy: ubuntu-guest-jammy-amd64-server-20230928 and ubuntu-guest-jammy-arm64-server-20230928
Focal: ubuntu-guest-focal-amd64-server-20230928 and ubuntu-guest-focal-arm64-server-20230928

They were happy to perform the manual testing of the images which had this version of gce-compute-image-packages from the -proposed pocket and GCE gave a +1. Thereby, marking this bug as validated.

Thanks,
Utkarsh
