Fwd: [Bug 307582] Re: SRU: Bridging documentation in the JeOS VMBuilder documentation is wrong

[Jonathan Jesse]

Copying Matthew East of the Doc team onto this.

Matt I know you have done a lot of SRUs for the ubuntu-docs package.  We
have a pretty large problem with the server guide as it relates to the JeOS
VMBuilder documentation.  How do we go about making sure it gets updated and
added into the server updates?

Thanks for your help,

Jonathan

I think we can do SRUs for the server guide, but I can't remember ever
actually doing one :-).  Anyway, following the SRU wiki page:

1) The impact of the bug is that the instructions in the Server Guide
won't work, causing confusion and wasted time for the user.

2) A fix has been committed to revision 132 of the lp:ubuntu-doc branch.

3) A patch for the ubuntu-serverguide package is attached.

4) To reproduce the bug follow the current instructions, and your VM
won't be able to connect to the network using a bridge interface.
Change the XML in VMBuilder/plugins/libvirt/templates/libvirtxml.tmpl
and the VM should connect fine.

5) There should be no regression potential, and since the fix is an XML
configuration file there should be no need to re-translate the package.
At least as I understand what is and what is not translated.

I don't think I can upload a fixed package to release-proposed, or at
least I have never done so.  If someone else can help with the step 4 of
the SRU process it would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Adam
