[Bug 1296755] Re: sosreport archive /var/lib/maas by default

[Iain Lane]

sosreport is only in 12.04 via backports. The way to fix this bug there
is by getting this SRUed into Saucy and then backporting to precise.
Backports policy says it'll have to be backported to Quantal too, to
maintain an upgrade path.

For that, please confirm the following

 [ ] sosreport 3.0-1ubuntu1 builds without changes on Quantal
 [ ] sosreport 3.0-1ubuntu1 builds without changes on Precise
 [ ] sosreport 3.0-1ubuntu1 installs and runs correctly on Quantal
 [ ] sosreport 3.0-1ubuntu1 installs and runs correctly on Precise

I'm going to add the backports tasks now, and look to sponsor the Saucy
SRU. Thanks!

Bug description:
  SRU justification :
  Maas plugin collects more data than required.

  Impact : 
  Without this fix, the size of the collected output get become huge (multi-Gb)

  Fix : 
  Restrict the collected directories.

  Test Case : 
  On a Maas server with many installation images installed, running the fixed version will not collect the large files in /var/lib/maas/ephemeral and/or /var/lib/maas/tftp

  Regression : 
  None expected.

  Original description of the problem :

  When ran on a machine running as a maas cluster controller, putting
  the content of /var/lib/maas in the sosreport copy all the fast
  installer and regular iso images used to deploy vm. As a result, the
  archive turns to be around 3Gb of size.
