[Bug 1002956] Re: Missing ReleaseNotesViewerWebkit.py from package

[Steve Langasek]

Could we see some analysis of the risk of regression here?  Was the html
viewer included in previous releases?  If not, what are the chances that
this change will result in users seeing no release notes at all, or get
a crashed update-manager, instead of getting the prettified html release
notes?

Title:
  Missing ReleaseNotesViewerWebkit.py from package

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “update-manager” source package in Oneiric:
  New
Status in “update-manager” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  update-manager.install is missing ReleaseNotesViewerWebkit.py so
  update-manager is always using the text files and not the html.

  Test Case:
  1. use precise
  2. run update-manager -d
  3. verify that the release notes are displayed as text
  4. install update-manager from precise-proposed
  5. run update-manager -d
  6. verify that you get a html release notes page now
