For clarity, I absolutely agree that this is a different type of support, and therefore would need to be a distinct field in the data (and perhaps would need to be just a boolean, as I don't believe Canonical has committed to a particular timeframe for ESM for precise, trusty or xenial?). It would also need to be exposed differently via `ubuntu-distro-info`.
Requiring access to the ESM archives to find out this information would be (a) annoying from an implementation point of view, as no other image /release-level support status information currently requires any interaction with the archives, and (b) leads to a chicken/egg problem (for example, if someone wants to write software which checks if ESM is available for their system before it gets configured). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1808038 Title: ubuntu-distro-info should include information about ESM status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/distro-info/+bug/1808038/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
