Ubuntu Focal currently has MAAS 2.6.0.
This is a Feature Freeze Exception request for MAAS to allow the package to move to a snap transition. Learning from, and copying code from the LXD snap transition, along with support in `do-release-upgrade` the MAAS team plans to release future MAAS versions as a snap.
Existing users will have their < 20.04 .deb upgraded to a snap installation, using the correct track and architecture for the expected release. |

This is a Feature Freeze Exception request for MAAS to allow the package to move to a snap transition. Learning from, and copying code from the LXD snap transition, along with support in `do-release-upgrade` the MAAS team plans to release future MAAS versions as a snap.
Existing users will have their < 20.04 .deb upgraded to a snap installation, using the correct track and architecture for the expected release.
The binary packages from this package will be consolidated down to a single one which will contain the deb to snap transition logic.
Data migration
==============
Existing data will be untouched, and the snap configured to use whatever db is currently in use.
Testing
=======
Tests will be performed in several scenarios that cover the risks, notably:
- snapd package not installed
- airgapped environments which e.g. cannot reach the Snap Store
- i386 architecture transition
For more information on the QA process MAAS follows, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MAASUpdates . |
