[SRU] New upstream microrelease .NET 6.0.28 and SDK 6.0.128

[Dominik Viererbe]

[Impact]

 * This correspond to an upstream microrelease (Microsoft Patch Tuesday microrelease).
   See: https://github.com/dotnet/source-build/discussions/4211

 * It is beneficial for our latest LTS users to have access to the latest .NET stack.

 * This update is bundled with quality assurance improvements.
   See section other for more details.

[Test Case]

 * The package should build successfully in mantic-proposed and jammy-proposed.

 * The packages should be installable on mantic and jammy
   on amd64 and arm64architectures.

 * Autopackage tests should pass.

 * The usual manual tests that have been seen in the previous microreleases
   LP: #1996499, #1983380, #2011807 (see Test Case section there).

   Note: The need for manual testing is largely reduced since the last SRU,
         because the autopkgtests improvements far exceeds the coverage
         provided by the mentioned manual test plans.

[Regression Potential]

 * Upstream tests are usually satisfactory, but there is always a risk of something breaking.

[Other]

* The quality assurance improvements include:
  - Adding build time smoke test that fail the build if fundamental flaws
    of the build artifacts are detected.
  - Using the RedHat test suite which significantly increases the test coverage.

* dotnet6 was removed from the current development release.
  See LP: #2044511 for details.

* 6.0.28 is the version number of the .NET Runtime and 6.0.128 is the version
  number of the .NET SDK. The package version only refers to the SDK version
  number.

* We are only building the 6.0.1xx feature band, because this is the only
  feature band that allows to be build from source. See explanation of feature
  bands: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/releases-and-support#feature-bands-sdk-only

Both build fine in a PPA https://launchpad.net/~dviererbe/+archive/ubuntu/dotnet6-0-128.

Autopkgtest pass locally, but fail in the autopkgtest cloud, because they run out of disk space.

Hello Dominik, or anyone else affected,

Accepted dotnet6 into mantic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dotnet6/6.0.128-0ubuntu1~23.10.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-mantic to verification-done-mantic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-mantic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

I just confirmed LP: #2057982 which affects this SRU, because I would like to include the fix.

The regression reported above were caused by autopkgtest running older package versions with known to fail autopkgtests. This is one of the reason why this SRU caries autopkgtest changes. Therefore the above reported regressions can safely be ignored.

Running autopkgtests against the new packages passes:
* 6.0.128-0ubuntu1~22.04.2 jammy/amd64: [1]
* 6.0.128-0ubuntu1~22.04.2 jammy/arm64: [2]
* 6.0.128-0ubuntu1~23.10.2 mantic/amd64: [3]
* 6.0.128-0ubuntu1~23.10.2 mantic/arm64: [4]
