2022-09-20 02:05:49 Bryce Harrington description Backport open-vm-tools as MRE for bionic, focal, impish, jammy [Impact] * Without SRUing the newer version users get issues running on more recent hypervisors - this is a case of [1] in the SRU policy. * Furthermore Upstream releases this as a collection of fixes which is usually worth it to pick up. * This is not backporting a single fix, but the version of a latter Ubuntu release. [Test Case] * TL;DR is "use open-vm-tools" but that can be quite complex for the variety of potential Host versions. * VMWare itself took ownership of verifying these backports and will test the same bits from a PPA and the SRU for the official "ack" * Users are invited to test upgrading their own different setups. * In general we recommend giving this some extra time in -proposed to see if anybody uncovers issues. [Regression Potential] * It is a new version which might contain new issues. This is being shipped in kinetic-devel for some weeks, with no new bug reports filed. [Other Info] * This time the MRE also fixes one bug. We're also backporting that fix to earlier LTS's. * As agreed back when processing bug 1741390 the real verification of open-vm-tools for having the proper test matrix and project ownership is on VMWare.

[Regression Potential]  * It is a new version which might contain new issues. This is being    shipped in kinetic-devel for some weeks, with no new bug reports filed. * The addition of new binaries open-vm-tools-containerinfo and open-vm-tools-salt-minion are new features and as such may have issues, but mitigating that concern is that they're separately packaged and not installed by default.
