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

[Iain Lane]

You don't need a debdiff for precise-backports - we just take the
package wholesale from the source release.

I've lost track of this bug a bit - where is it fixed? We can backport
from trusty to precise if you want, you just have to tell the bug that
it's been tested to work without any changes to the source package.

Saucy's about to go EOL so you might want to consider not bothering with
this one.

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.
