3. Security: No CVEs

4. QA:
Ubuntu and Debian contain the same version.
0 bugs in Debian
0 bugs in Ubuntu.

5. UI standards: none

6. Dependencies:
All in main.

7. Standards:
Package is packaged with debhelper. Source format is 3.0. No lintian warnings/errors.

8. Maintenance: easy

9. Background information:
python-pyvmomi is an SDK for the VMware vSphere API that allows you to manage ESX, ESXi, and vCenter.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Looks mostly fine. Needs a team bug subscriber.

And I think this would be a good time to fix this TODO which is blocking enabling the tests:

# TODO: package python-vcrpy then enable the tests
export PYBUILD_DISABLE_python2=test
export PYBUILD_DISABLE_python3=test

[Andres Rodriguez (andreserl)]

Michael,

Isn't it too late to package python-vcrpy and get it in Main? Specially when this will also need to be SRU'd into Trusty when we SRU 1.8?

Thanks.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Probably for vivid, yeah. Which is why last minute FFe and MIRs are discouraged. There isn't enough time to do things properly.

An SRU is a separate case. I'm not on the SRU team, but I wouldn't expect them to require the tests to be enabled in such a case.

Well. I see the MAAS team is subscribed to bugs now. I've filed bug 1433711 about the tests. Please complete that during 15.10's development.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

(To be clear, I approved this MIR for now. I just filed a separate bug so we don't lose track of the desire for the test suite to be enabled.)
