Ubuntu sponsors, unfortunately I can't remove your subscription from
this bug (that LP automatically added). There is nothing for you to do
here, since this is an SRU, and not even the SRU team can do anything
about it yet because the packages are not uploaded yet.

Title:
  Update lucid, raring, quantal, precise to landscape-client 13.07.3

Status in Landscape Client:
  In Progress
Status in “landscape-client” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Landscape Client 13.07.3 has been released. We would like to get these
  changes into raring, quantal, precise and lucid.

  As far as released version of Ubuntu are concerned, the required
  pieces of information for the needed SRU follow (as laid out in the
  "Procedure" section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates).

  === Statement explaining the impact ===

  This release sports both bug-fixes and new features and we would like
  to make sure all of our supported customers (even those on raring,
  quantal, precise and lucid) have access to these improvements. The
  notable ones are:

  1) New annotations exchange mechanism allows clients to send any key-value data to the landscape server (#1123932)
  2) Network devices now report their maximum theoretical speeds, and duplex status to landscape-server (#1126330, #1130130)
  3) Landscape.client is now HA aware when HA is implemented using juju charms (#1122508)
  4) The landscape client will now trigger a reboot if server sends a reboot-required message. (#1133005)
  5) Big AMP code cleanup and refactoring in order to improve testing, improve performance and ease future maintainability (#1165047, #1169102, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669)
  6) Added logic to detect cloned (virtual) computers (#1161856)
  7) The landscape-client and landscape-common packages do not use or depend on dbus code anymore, and some legacy plugins using dbus were removed. (#1175553, #1180691)
  8) The ceph manager plugin is now a monitor plugin and thus does not require root privileges anymore. (#1186973)

  Some packaging-only changes are as follows:
  9) Removed legacy upgrader code from postinst since support for it was dropped.
  10) French translation patches were removed since the changes were merged upstream.
  11) The /etc/dbus-1/system.d/landscape.conf file was moved from the landscape-client package to the landscape-client-ui package. A "Replaces" rule was therefore added to the landscape-client-ui package. No "Breaks" rule was added since the -ui package requires the exact same version of the -client package, avoiding the case described in http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f53
  12) dependencies on Dbus and hal/udev (python-dbus and gudev) are dropped from the landscape-client and landscape-common packages, since the client code does not use dbus at all anymore. The landscape-client-ui package however still does.

  For more details see the aforementioned bugs (all mentioned in the
  debian/changelog of the proposed packages).
