Hi David,

Given we primarily work with LTS releases of Ubuntu in customer clouds, it's common for us to use the stable PPAs for various Canonical infrastructure tools to get newer tooling on existing clouds.

Often this approach is used on even the current LTS, given the specific major versions of specific packages will often be locked in at launch.

Landscape has been tricky in the past for us to upgrade in this fashion, as the charm does not respond to changes of origin. If we could get this addressed it would be a huge help when maintaining bootstack clouds ongoing. The current process would be to manually SSH to each unit and add the PPA, and upgrade the client software - Which isn't very jujuy.

Short answer would be that we need this ongoing, it's not a one-off.
