Add the ubuntu-cpc project to trusty

In addition to the linked branch for livecd-rootfs, we need https://code.launchpad.net/~rcj/ubuntu/+source/live-build/+git/live-build/+ref/feature/support_livecd-rootfs_ubuntu-cpc

Attaching the debdiff for live-build

Attaching updated debdiff for live-build coalescing changes into a single version.

The changelog merge seems okayish to me - was a bit confusing at first but I don't know of any particular standard of how this should look like, I never saw an operation like that being performed. But it looks clear enough for me and having the changelogs actually was helpful.

What I would like to happen here is this package being tested for non cpc builds as well, as I see that along with the ubuntu-cpc cherry-pick some changes from the upstream are included in auto/build (the way the chroot sources.list gets generated, removal of some deb-src etc.). If this gets all the proper testing, I'm all good to get this moving. But for now - approving.

Hello Robert, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/2.208.14 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Łukasz, we'll need live-build_3.0~a57-1ubuntu11.4 approved before we can test livecd-rootfs. Can you approve that package? Thanks

As part of a recent change in the Stable Release Update verification policy we would like to inform that for a bug to be considered verified for a given release a verification-done-$RELEASE tag needs to be added to the bug where $RELEASE is the name of the series the package that was tested (e.g. verification-done-xenial). Please note that the global 'verification-done' tag can no longer be used for this purpose.

Thank you!

Builds with the proposed packages were successful. I am marking this a verification-done-trusty.

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.208.14

---------------
livecd-rootfs (2.208.14) trusty; urgency=medium

  [ Robert C. Jennings ]
  * Add ubuntu-cpc project (LP: #1693018)

    [ Daniel Watkins ]
    * Move building of all architecture-specific CPC artifacts into Launchpad
      - Fixup virtual FLAVOUR kernel name

    [ Oliver Grawert ]
    * added additional CPC build targets:
      - added manifest generation for squashfs and root.tar.gz
      - added VMDK generation
      - added OVA generation from VMDK's
      - added generic Vagrant image generation

    [ Ben Howard ]
    * Fix typo in ubuntu-cpc preventing non-intel builds.
    * add devpts-live to hook builds
    * add logic to settle the disks after UEFI builds
    * extended hooks/functions to support creation of derivative images
    * including mounting images.
    * added the ability to create qcow2 images in hooks/functions
    * simplified loop clean-up in hooks/functions
    * removed assumption that disk1.img would be built
    * switched qcow2 generation to use hooks/functions function

    [ Daniel Watkins ]
    * Produce OVA files for i386 cloud builds.

    [ Ben Howard ]
    * Remove unneeded packages from the root.tar.{gz,xz} cloud image targets

    [ Daniel Watkins ]
    * Install grub in ppc64el cloud images so they are bootable

    [ Daniel Watkins ]
    * Set timeout options so ppc64el cloud images don't display a grub boot
      menu (matching the behaviour of other cloud images).
    * Specify a regex to run-parts so that cloud image extra scripts are found
      and executed.

    [ Steve Langasek ]
    * Refactor/reorder ubuntu-cpc support for consistency with other flavors,
      so that subarch overrides can be applied correctly.

    [ Ben Howard ]
    * fixed loop setup due to change of kpartx output
    * only use grub-install logic for Intel architectures

    [ Steve Langasek ]
    * Refactor some non-idiomatic architecture handling in
      live-build/ubuntu-cpc/hooks/999-cpc-fixes.chroot that also misidentifies
      the architecture name for armhf.

    [ Steve Langasek ]
    * Add hooks to ubuntu-cpc to divert /bin/sync in the chroot and undivert it
      at the end. This is a general-purpose change that should be applied to
      all flavors and archs, but at the moment it's only needed on armhf+raspi2
      to work around the raspberrypi2-firmware postinst calling sync, which is
      actually warranted in the normal case.
    * If a subarch is specified for a cloud image build, don't build rootfs
      artifacts; these should come from the 'generic' build.
    * Fix architecture handling in hooks. We know we're always being invoked
      from a launchpad-buildd-like setup, which passes ARCH and SUBARCH in the
      environment, because auto/config and auto/build both rely on this. So
      don't scatter dpkg --print-architecture calls throughout, especially
      when many of these are not cross-build-aware.
    * Refactor ubuntu-cpc hooks to allow us to handle images where the root
      partition should not be partition 1.

    [ Ben Howard ]
    * ubuntu-cpc: fix hooks/032-disk-image.binary call to
      create_empty_p...
