Please add a new entry for Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky Puffin

[Cody Shepherd]

[ Impact ]

Several tools rely on the `distro-info` package to tell them which releases are available.
This package just contains data, with no format changes.

[ Regression Potential ]

Minimal, as long as we are only adding new entries (we do this every release).

[ Test Case ]
* "ubuntu-distro-info -df" should name the release in full: Ubuntu 25.04 "Plucky Puffin"

[ Reference ]

Release schedule: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/p-p-release-schedule/36461

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

The calculated EOL is on 2026-01-17 which lands outside Tuesday-Thursday. So will the EOL be on Thursday 2026-01-15 or Tuesday 2026-01-20?

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I say Thursday as I believe that is the case for every recent release. Perhaps you could confirm that using the past EoL dates?

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

The recent 10 Ubuntu releases had their EOL on a Thursday (except for jammy which had it on a Tuesday). Looking at the history: 21 Ubuntu releases had their EOL on a Thursday, but only 4 Ubuntu releases had it on a Tuesday.

Should the EOL date rounded to the closest Thursday (2026-01-15) or the next Thursday after the 9 month period (2026-01-22)?

Sticking with Thursdays, closest Thursday gets my vote (2026-01-15).

I've confirmed on focal, jammy, noble, and oracular that enabling -proposed and updating distro-info-data causes `distro-info` commands to output correct info:

--devel and --latest: shows plucky
--fullname: shows Ubuntu 25.04 "Plucky Puffin"
--stable: shows oracular
--lts: shows noble
--series=plucky --release: shows 25.04
--supported: output includes plucky
--series=plucky --days=created: shows -8
--series=plucky --days=eol: shows 454

Thanks!
