SRU 0.15 tracking bug

[Barry Warsaw]

New SRU tracking bug (with exception) for ubuntu-image 0.15 in Yakkety and Xenial.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuImageUpdates

[Impact]

ubuntu-image 0.15 fixes some bugs and brings feature parity with the original design by adding support for multi-volume gadget.yaml specifications. This release deprecates -o/--output in favor of -O/--output-dir. It also handles structure parts with size or offset < 1MiB. Bugs fixed include problems with /tmp in the snap version and ignoring any values in the defaults section of the gadget.yaml

[Test Case]

Create an image using the official amd64 model assertion. Ensure that the resulting image boots to 'press enter to configure' phase.

[Regression Potential]

* ubuntu-image may not produce a bootable image.
* More warnings may be emitted in the log file (due to misaligned size or offsets)
* There could be bugs in multi-volume gadget support that breaks single-volume specifications

Hello Barry, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-image into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-image/0.15+16.04ubuntu1 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!

Could you add some details regarding the steps you took to verify the SRUs?

[Barry Warsaw (barry)]

@brian-murray: yes, thanks for requesting the details.

Following the directions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuImageUpdates for each of Yakkety and Xenial, I created the appropriate chroot, and installed ubuntu-image from -proposed. Then I used the command to build a bootable image, then outside the chroot I used qemu to boot the image. As per the exception plan, getting to the configuration screen is good enough for success (it proves the image boots).

Both validations were done for X and Y.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-image - 0.15+16.10ubuntu1

---------------
ubuntu-image (0.15+16.10ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * SRU tracking number LP: #1665014
  * ubuntu-image now supports gadget.yaml files with multiple volume
    specifications. Each volume describes a different disk image. For
    the multi-volume case, no implicit root file system structure is added
    at all; the root file system partition must be defined in the
    gadget.yaml. -o/--output is ignored in the multi-volume case.
    (LP:1641727)
  * Add -O/--output-dir command line options. Disk image files are
    written here using the volume name and a .img suffix. Deprecate
    -o/--output. -O and -o are mutually exclusive.
  * Handle structure parts with size or offset < 1MiB. (LP:1630709)
  * Warn when the size or offset is not a multiple of the sector size.
    (LP:1663172 and LP:1621151)
  * Allow and ignore any string values in the ``defaults`` section.
    (LP:1661515)
  * Handle a couple more cases where ubuntu-image as a snap cannot read
    from /tmp (model assertions and extra snaps). (LP:1663424)
  * Add a release script. (LP:1655669)
  * Version numbers for the snap now say "+snap" instead of "+real".
