[SRU] openvswitch 2.5.2

[James Page]

v2.5.2 - 21 Feb 2017
---------------------
   - ovs-ctl:
     * Added the ability to selectively start the forwarding and database
       functions (ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server, respectively).
   - Fedora packaging:
     * A package upgrade does not automatically restart OVS service.
   - Bug fixes

v2.5.1 - 27 Sep 2016
---------------------
   - DPDK:
     * New appctl command 'dpif-netdev/pmd-rxq-show' to check the port/rxq
       assignment.
     * Type of log messages from PMD threads changed from INFO to DBG.
   - ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from SHA-1 to SHA-512 because
     SHA-1 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to
     disable it in OpenSSL.
   - Bug fixes

Test plan:

For all openvswitch updates, we perform regression testing by juju deploying two openstack clouds, one against -proposed and one against -updates, and we then run tempest integration smoke tests[1] to verify those deployed clouds, and evaluate any differences in results.

Hello James, or anyone else affected,

Accepted openvswitch into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/2.5.2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
