[WHERE PROBLEMS COULD OCCUR]

The changes in sosreport are described below. There are a number of changes related to report, plugins and policy. The changes in sosreport content may break existing tooling, so that will need extensive testing.

Global Changes
snaps are now automatically built and pushed with new releases.
Fixed an incompatibility issue with python-3.12 runtimes.

Report Changes
Added a new ceph profile for use in those types of environments.

Plugin Changes
Fixed an issue with the enablement of ceph plugins possibly be erroneously enabled.
Fixed an issue with multiline regexes raising exceptions on python 3.11 runtimes.
The lustre plugin now collects more debug parameters.
The ssh plugin now controls collection of user ~/.ssh/config files via the userconfs option.
The default for the option is set to true/on/enabled, preserving previous behavior.

Cleaner Changes
Obfuscated files will now have their permissions set to match the source file.
Refined the regex used to extract MAC addresses, and will now match underscore separated addresses.

Hi Nikhil,

thank you for the bug report! I see we already have an SRU bug for sos 4.5.6, so let's use that one for Ubuntu Pro as well. Otherwise, we might lose some of the context and discussion around this new upstream release.

Cheers,
Heitor
