** Description changed: - Please backport/SRU pollinate to 12.04 LTS. + Please backport/SRU pollinate to 12.04 LTS, and update pollinate in + 14.04 LTS and 16.04 LTS. + + [Impact] + Pollinate doesn't exist in 12.04 LTS, but should. It has been steady and solid throughout the 14.04 and 16.04 releases of Ubuntu, improving the PRNG keys in cloud instances. And there are still plenty of Precise cloud instances out there. This upload also fixes a couple of bugs (which are already well validated on 16.04) in terms of when the systemd job runs, not running in containers, logging the correct PID, and timing out correctly. + + [Test Case] + Pollinate can be tested on an existing system by specifying the -r|--reseed option. 'sudo pollinate -r' should exit 0 and appropriate, successful log messages should be displayed. You can also test the boot time run by removing the seeded flag with 'sudo rm -f /var/cache/pollinate/seeded', rebooting, and then 'grep pollinate /var/log/syslog'. + + [Regression Potential] + Regression potential should be low, as entropy seeding is opportunistic. Boot should never hang or block. At most, it should add a second or two to boot, and it should fail gracefully, logging to syslog, and retrying again at each reboot.
