Backport open-vm-tools as MRE to focal, jammy and lunar once the update for mantic has been completed.
<List exact versions being upgraded from and to for each release>
[Impact]
TBD
<List bug links to former cases of MREs for this package>[Major Changes]
TBD
[Test Plan]
<Link to wiki SRU page>TBD
[Regression Potential]
Upstream has an extensive build and integration test suite. So regressions would likely arise from a change in interaction with Ubuntu-specific integrations, such as in relation to the versions of dependencies available and other packaging-specific matters.
<Also, ...>
|
[Impact]
Without SRUing the newer version users get issues running on more
recent hypervisors - this is a case of [1] in the SRU policy since
without it (virtual) hardware will break. In the past a lack of
updated open-vm-tools versions was found fatal and therefore we
agreed to regularly backport those to the latest LTS.
[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]
This is introducing a new version and thus might contain new issues of
any scope. Any reported bug would thus need to be viewed as a
potential regression. This is being shipped in the latest -devel so any
bug reported against that release should be included as a concern for
all releases targeted in this SRU.
