Hi Matthew,
I have discussed this with Corey on Friday.
My general preferred solution would still be to not do a Xenial upload at all. But after the talk with Corey he explained that for T-M there isn't really a good other way.
Just as you I have double checked and agree that this should not have any effect on Xenial, but there are two things to consider:
- people might still have tweaked their xenial to run with upstart (but for those it will be a fix)
- for the majority this will be a download of ~25MB for nor real change which is a waste of
resources that we should not do.
Corey and I have agreed to handle it the following way:
- I'm willing to help you to push this to Xenial-Proposed
- ME: re-Review the current solution
- ME: sponsor it to Xenial unapprove
- YOU: If the SRU team objects you should do the discussion/convincing
- We will LEAVE it hanging in proposed and intentionally NOT release to Xenial it as-is
- that means only testers of proposed will pick it up
- When there is a libvirt fix later any normal SRU or security push will be based
on what is in proposed
- Only then it will be really available to Xenial users
- We didn't get to the point if the Cloud-Archive could sync from -proposed in this case
- for now I expect the answer is no, which means you have no ETA when this will
really be released
@Mathew - please confirm that this approach will work for you, then I'll do my steps
@Corey - please confirm here that this approach will work for you, also add if UCA-T-M could sync from proposed once it is verified there.
