[Bug 2006459] Re: [SRU] Backport v7.20.2 of xe-guest-utilites from Lunar to Jammy

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Utkarsh, or anyone else affected,

Accepted xe-guest-utilities into kinetic-proposed. The package will
build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xe-
guest-utilities/7.20.2-0ubuntu1~22.10.1 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, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
kinetic to verification-done-kinetic. If it does not fix the bug for
you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed-kinetic. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  [SRU] Backport v7.20.2 of xe-guest-utilites from Lunar to Jammy

Status in xe-guest-utilities package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in xe-guest-utilities source package in Jammy:
  Fix Committed
Status in xe-guest-utilities source package in Kinetic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  Some xen-based public clouds utilize the xe-guest-utilities package to
  perform hyper-visor based communications for boot-time discovery
  hostname, network configuration, etc. One of our cloud partners
  requested the inclusion and availability to see v7.20.2 in the Jammy+
  archive.

  [ Test Plan ]

  Since this needs a particular setup, CPC shall spun up an validation
  image and run the initial set of tests and then send it across to our
  customer to do the final test. Upon successful internal and external
  validation, we'll paste the results of the same and thereby complete
  the verification.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  Since we're introducing a new package (src:xe-guest-utilities was
  removed Focal onward and now we're re-introducing it), the chances of
  regression is almost nil. But perhaps a race condition with some other
  package could introduce problems but this should be caught whilst
  building the image.
