** Description changed: + ===== SRU ===== + Following on from similar package update requests @ LP: #2084498, LP: #2073163 and LP: #2040945, this bug is a request to update the google- guest-agent package to the upstream version `20250116.00` @ https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/guest- agent/releases/tag/20250116.00 This package has an SRU exception @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#google-guest-agent including an ageing exception detailed @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/google- guest-agent-Updates [Impact] This package is provided by Google for installation within guests that run on Google Compute Engine. It is part of a collection of tools and daemons, that ensure that the Ubuntu images published to GCE run properly on their platform. Cloud platforms evolve at a rate that can't be handled in six-month increments, and they will often develop features that they would like to be available to customers who don't want to upgrade from earlier Ubuntu releases. As such, updating this package to more recent upstream releases is required within all Ubuntu releases, so they continue to function properly in the GCP environment. [Test Case] When a new version of this package is uploaded to -proposed, the following will happen: * an image based on -proposed will be built for GCE and published to the ubuntu-os-cloud-image-proposed project * the CPC team will run internal validations (CTF) and Google's upstream test suite `cloud-image-tests` (CIT) * the GCE team will be asked to validate that the new package addresses the issues it is expected to address, and that the image passes their own internal image validation. If all the testing indicates that the new package is acceptable, verification can be considered done. [Vendored Dependencies] - TBC + Small bump in vendored dep `GoogleCloudPlatform/guest-logging-go` + (v0.0.0-20230710215706 --> v0.0.0-20250108002221) [Where Problems Could Occur] There are many upstream changes in `20250116.00-0ubuntu1` vs. `20241011.01-0ubuntu1`; however between the guest-test-infra suite [0] (which is run for validation by CPC _and_ Google) and CPC's own internal test harness (CTF), there is confidence that most if not all "edge cases" and/or obvious regressions concerns can be dismissed before the new version lands in `-updates` [Other Information] This bug is used for tracking of releasing the new upstream version for all supported series, as per the approved policy mentioned in the following MRE: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/google-guest-agent-Updates - This package is only used for AMD64 and ARM64 but it build for all + This package is only used for AMD64 and ARM64 but is built for all available architectures.
