My suggested plan forward would be:
a.) promote the 14.04:ppc64el:hwe-v to released for ppc64el
I will need someone to test that and suggest its reasonable
That can be done by using the daily stream and doing an install to a
system marked as 'generic/hwe-v'
b.) remove 14.04:ppc64el:hwe-t product from both daily and released streams.
This exploits maas bug http://pad.lv/1508975 , but should end up
making even existing users to just start getting hwe-v kernels for
enlistment, commissioning, and default install.
c.) document this ppc64el specific behavior in some external facing place
this should
i. describe why hwe-t/3.13 is not available for ppc64el.
ii. describe how to use linux-generic (3.13/hwe-t) in a maas
installed VM if desired. That looks something like:
sudo apt-get install linux-generic # probably not necessary
sudo apt-get --purge remove "linux-(image|headers)-(3.16.0|3.19.0|4.2.0)-.*"
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo reboot
iii. inform the user about hwe kernels and what their support path
will be using their 'hwe-v', and subseqently hwe-w and then
hwe-x kernels.
probabably should point to [1]
I can do 'a' and 'b' above, but I suggest that 'c' should be done first.
I'm not sure what the appropriate place is for this documentation, and I'd be looking for Mike or Michael or Jeff to write it.
