[Bug 2054395] Re: [sru] sos upstream 4.7.0

[Arif Ali]

Hi Andreas,

This was discussed in the PR [1], let me see if I can answer your
questions

* All the files that need a copyright have the copyright at the top of the files, and hence not therefore require here. If we started to add all the copyright stuff, then this file would be considerably long
* The upstream core maintainer changed a few years ago, and Bryn is still one of the old maintainers, and he didn't have any issues with the change.
* I can change the debian/* back again, if that needs to change to have Adam the related copyright.

One of the main reasons of up-streaming the debian folder was to improve
the CI testing, especially with some of the tests we had failed as part
of SRU previously. The key thing was to be consistent upstream and
downstream.

Happy to discuss the best course of action moving forward on this

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  * A new sosreport version is available upstream, and following the
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SosreportUpdates policy for stable release
  exception we will now SRU the sosreport 4.7.0 upstream release.

  * This release introduces a couple of new plugins as well as bugfixes
  done between the previous Ubuntu 4.5.6 sosreport version and the new
  4.7.0.

  
  [ Test Plan ]

   * The detailed test plan can be found on
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SosreportUpdates and should be tested by a
  couple of users.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  * Some plugins might stop working, and this will show when running
  sosreport.

  * Uploading to S3 needs the python3-boto3 dependency installed.

  * If there is an issue with a plugin that is causing instability to
  the system, this can be disabled by running 'sosreport -n
  <plugin_name>'.

  * Currently running sos collect with Juju 3 is -not- working, even for
  the current  4.5.6 Ubuntu version, we are working upstream on a fix
  here: https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/3422 this is not part of
  the core functionality of sos, and one can still run sos report
  manually on the nodes.

  [ Other Info ]
   
  * Useful plugins that are now part of 4.7.0 and could do some testing:

  * runtime/lxd We have added an LXD runtime so that we can gather data directly from LXD, same with what one would do with k8s.
  * plugins/canonical_livepatch_onprem.py will gather data from livepatch-server
  * plugins/ceph.py add Reef release commands and gather microceph data
  * plugins/coredump.py will capture coredump info from coredumpctl
  * plugins/infinidat.py will gather data from servers that make use if the Infinidat storage solution
  * plugins/kubernetes.py will now gather container information from microk8s
  * plugins/mellanox_firmware.py will gather data from mellanox devices
  * plugins/openstack_masakari.py will gather data from openstack masakari
  * plugins/openstack_masakarimonitors.py will gather data from openstack masakari monitors
  * plugins/vectordev.py will gather the config from vectordev (cos-proxy)
