[Bug 1333728] Re: update-manager should support HWE EOL transition

[Colin Watson]

Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-manager into precise-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
manager/1:0.156.14.15 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 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!

  update-manager should support HWE EOL transition

Bug description:
  In ubuntu 12.04 parts of the older HardwareEnablementStack is going
  out of support soon. update-manager should support the transition to
  the new HardwareEnablementStack (HWE).

  Impact:
  - all user with of ubuntu 12.04.{2,3,4} are affected and need the update to have a good transition

  Testing:
  - install 12.04.2 (or .3, .4)
  - run update-manager
  - verify that nothing special happens (except for updates being available :)
  - install update-manager from precise-proposed
  - start update-manager and verify that a "new hardware support" label becomes available with a install button
  - log into a console and verify that you get a message after login that you need to upgrade your hardware support
  - run ubuntu-support-status and verify that it displays information about the new HWE support
  - click the button, verify that information is available and click install
  - after the install is finished, reboot and verify that update-manager does not display anything about the hardware again
  - verify that ubuntu-support-status and /etc/motd do not contain references to the HWE anymore

  Potential risk:
  - if the new update-manager is buggy this may prevent users from getting updates, so we need to test this carefully
