[FFe] SRU 1.11 tracking bug

[Łukasz Zemczak]

New SRU tracking bug (with exception) for ubuntu-image 1.10 in Groovy, Focal, Bionic and Xenial + FFe for hirsute.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuImageUpdates

[Impact]

ubuntu-image 1.11 is a very very very small and minor release. Basically the only real change (and feature) is related to UC20 images, and is:
 * Use "resolved-content" directory provided by newer versions of "snap prepare-image".

This is a 'safe' change, as it is fairly isolated, only doing something new when snap prepare-image supports it.

Additionally, for all series below groovy, this release also includes a bugfix for:
 * Add a workaround for mkfs.ext4 forcefully sparsifying our classic image swapfile

This is a critical change to enable proper building of new DTB-model images.

[FFe rationale]

This lands so late because all the DTB changes in snapd landed late. And we need to have these changes in the Ubuntu archive (most importantly in focal) because our UC20 image builds are using ubuntu-image from the deb (not the snap). Without this, the UC20 images that we build will not include the new DTB structure, which enables proper DTB handling via the kernel (not the gadget, as done previously).

The plus side is that this is really basically the only change in 1.11. I wouldn't even do a release if not for the fact that we want to have proper images building for focal.

[Test Case]

 * Create an image using the official uc18 amd64 model assertion. Ensure that the resulting image boots to 'press enter to configure' phase.

 * Create an ubuntu-cpc project classic image using a modified amd64 gadget tree [1] and make sure it boots.

 * Create an image using the official uc20 amd64 model assertion. Ensure that the resulting image boots (possible to ping the certification team for help).

[Regression Potential]

 * ubuntu-image may not produce a bootable image

Ack, it sounds isolated and safe enough, but watch out for bugs of course.

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Note for SRU team members: the groovy upload has a slightly different changelog entry 'style' than all the others - it still includes all the required info but different than the other series. It was my mistake when creating the release, but unwinding this is a bit troublesome. So since it's stylistic only, let's just go with it! Especially that groovy will go EOL soon anyway!

Thank you!

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Ok, tested groovy ubuntu-image 1.11+20.10ubuntu1, successfully built a UC18 amd64 image, a UC20 amd64 image (stable channel) and a UC20 pi arm64 image. Tested that the amd64 image boots correctly.
Also built a classic bionic amd64 image (since that's what I had available from the gadget POV) and it booted fine as well.

Considering this verified.

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Tested focal ubuntu-image 1.11+20.04ubuntu1, successfully built a UC18 amd64 image, a UC20 amd64 image (stable channel) and a UC20 pi arm64 image. Tested that the amd64 image boots correctly.
Also built a classic bionic amd64 image as well - all good.

Considering this verified for focal as well.

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Tested bionic ubuntu-image 1.11+18.04ubuntu1, successfully built a UC18 amd64 image, a UC20 amd64 image (stable channel) and a UC20 pi arm64 image. The amd64 image seemed to work correctly.
Built a classic bionic image too and that seemed to work.

Considering this verified for bionic.

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Tested xenial ubuntu-image 1.11+16.04ubuntu1 and successfully built UC18 amd64, UC20 amd64 and UC20 pi arm64 images. Classic has a bit of a problem in xenial, unrelated to ubuntu-image.
Anyway, xenial is as good as it gets!
