cloud-init does not have the SmartOS data source as a configuration option

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

It looks like the issue here is that debian/cloud-init.templates was not updated to include the SmartOS data source.

The attached patch adds SmartOS to the available data sources, and includes it in the default list.

This is going to miss vivid, but we'll probably SRU it back in to everything later.

The smartOS datasource just never got enabled in ubuntu packaging.
It seems that it should be safe to do so as the datasource checks for existance of the serial device (/dev/ttyS1) and also checks for 'smartdc' in the system-product-name field of dmidecode.

The attachment "lp1398997.patch" seems to be a debdiff. The ubuntu-sponsors team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can review and hopefully sponsor the debdiff. If the attachment isn't a patch, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are member of the ~ubuntu-sponsors, unsubscribe the team.
