Update lucid, raring, quantal, precise to landscape-client 13.07.3

[Chris Glass]

Landscape Client 13.07.3 has been released. We would like to get these changes into raring, quantal, precise and lucid.

As far as released version of Ubuntu are concerned, the required pieces of information for the needed SRU follow (as laid out in the "Procedure" section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates).

=== Statement explaining the impact ===

This release sports both bug-fixes and new features and we would like to make sure all of our supported customers (even those on raring, quantal, precise and lucid) have access to these improvements. The notable ones are:

1) New annotations exchange mechanism allows clients to send any key-value data to the landscape server (#1123932)
2) Network devices now report their maximum theoretical speeds, and duplex status to landscape-server (#1126330, #1130733)
3) Landscape.client is now HA aware when HA is implemented using juju charms (#1122508)
4) The landscape client will now trigger a reboot if server sends a reboot-required message. (#1133005)
5) Big AMP code cleanup and refactoring in order to improve testing, improve performance and ease future maintainability (#1165047, #1169102, #1170669)
6) Added logic to detect cloned (virtual) computers (#1161856)
7) The landscape-client and landscape-common packages do not use or depend on dbus code anymore, and some legacy plugins using dbus were removed. (#1175553, #1180691)
8) The ceph manager plugin is now a monitor plugin and thus does not require root privileges anymore. (#1186973)

Some packaging-only changes are as follows:
9) Removed legacy upgrader code from postinst since support for it was dropped.
10) French translation patches were removed since the changes were merged upstream.
11) The /etc/dbus-1/system.d/landscape.conf file was moved from the landscape-client package to the landscape-client-ui package. A "Replaces" rule was therefore added to the landscape-client-ui package. No "Breaks" rule was added since the -ui package requires the exact same version of the -client package, avoiding the case described in http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f53
12) dependencies on Dbus and hal/udev (python-dbus and gudev) are dropped from the landscape-client and landscape-common packages, since the client code does not use dbus at all anymore. The landscape-client-ui package however still does.

For more details see the aforementioned bugs (all mentioned in the debian/changelog of the proposed packages).

=== How the bug has been addressed ===

We have been following the development procedure laid out in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LandscapeUpdates

Furthermore, the testing procedure results can be seen in
https://wiki.canonical.com/Landscape/ClientSRUTests/13.07.1?action=recall&rev=27

=== Patches ===

Debdiff patches against the currently released landscape version are attached to this bug report, by distribution.

=== Detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug ===

=== Discussion ===

All the source packages have been subject to the QA process detailed in the LandscapeUpdates document linked above.

The packages have been uploaded and will now await the review from the SRU team.

[Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack)]

Unsubscribed the SRU team, we decided to do another release.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

While the SRU team is unsubscribed, the packages still exist in -proposed. Should they be rejected?

Additionally, having a changelog link to private bugs (as done in the changelog of the upload to raring-proposed) is considered bad form. Please consider making the relevant bug reports public.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Oh, and this bug report should really have a task about the Ubuntu package.

[Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack)]

Yes please, reject them (13.07.1). A new set will be uploaded in a few days.

The attachment "precise_12.05-0ubuntu1_to_13.07.3-0ubuntu0.debdiff" seems to be a debdiff. The ubuntu-sponsors team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can review and hopefully sponsor the debdiff. If the attachment isn't a patch, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are member of the ~ubuntu-sponsors, unsubscribe the team.

Ubuntu sponsors, unfortunately I can't remove your subscription from this bug (that LP automatically added). There is nothing for you to do here, since this is an SRU, and not even the SRU team can do anything about it yet because the packages are not uploaded yet.

[Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack)]

Packages uploaded, the SRU team can review now.

Hi, is there anything else we (non-sru team) need to do here?

The pending SRU report
(http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html) which we
use to determine what SRUs to release still shows that the upload of
landscape-client has multiple bugs that need verification. I guess this
is because you've used a metabug (this one) for the SRU and your
verification of this bug presumably means that all the other bugs are
verified for every release. Is that correct?

Correct. I will comment on those bugs.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for landscape-client has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.
