[Bug 1840245] Re: Update gce-compute-image-packages to 20190801

[Balint Reczey]

** Summary changed:

- Update gce-compute-image-packages to 20191115
+ Update gce-compute-image-packages to 20190801

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  Compute-image-packages is provided by Google for installation within
  guests that run on Google Compute Engine. It is a collection of tools
  and daemons, packaged as gce-compute-image-packages, that ensure that
  the Ubuntu images published to GCE run properly on their platform.
  
  Cloud platforms evolve at a rate that can't be handled in six-month
  increments, and they will often develop features that they would like to
  be available to customers who don't want to upgrade from earlier Ubuntu
  releases. As such, updating gce-compute-image-packages to more recent
  upstream releases is required within all Ubuntu releases, so they
  continue to function properly in their environment.
  
  [Test Case]
  
  When a new version of gce-compute-image-packages is uploaded to
  -proposed, the following will be done:
  
-  * an image based on -proposed will be built for GCE and published to the ubuntu-os-cloud-devel project
-  * the CPC team will write new automated tests to cover new testable functionality (if any) in the new package
-  * the automated testing that the CPC team normally runs against GCE images before they are published will be run against the -proposed image
-  * the GCE team will be asked to validate that the new package addresses the issues it is expected to address, and that the image passes their internal image validation.
+  * an image based on -proposed will be built for GCE and published to the ubuntu-os-cloud-devel project
+  * the CPC team will write new automated tests to cover new testable functionality (if any) in the new package
+  * the automated testing that the CPC team normally runs against GCE images before they are published will be run against the -proposed image
+  * the GCE team will be asked to validate that the new package addresses the issues it is expected to address, and that the image passes their internal image validation.
  
  If all the testing indicates that the image containing the new package
  is acceptable, verification will be considered to be done.
  
  [Other Information]
  
  This bug is used for tracking of releasing the new upstream version for
  all supported series, as per the approved policy mentioned in the
  following MRE:
  
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/gce-compute-image-packages-Updates
+ 
+ GCE requested updating the package to version 20191121 without releasing
+ 20190801 to stable releases. Please consider this bug verified when LP:
+ #1853846 is verified.
