  • landscape-client (13.07.3-0ubuntu0.10.04) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream version (LP: #1190510)
       - New annotations exchange mechanism allows clients to send any key-value
         data to the landscape server (LP: #1123932)
       - Network devices now report their maximum theoretical speeds, and duplex
         status to landscape-server (LP: #1126330, LP: #1130733)
       - Landscape.client is now HA aware when HA is implemented using juju
         charms (LP: #1122508)
       - The landscape client will now trigger a reboot if server sends a
         reboot-required message. (LP: #1133005)
       - Big AMP code cleanup and refactoring in order to improve testing, improve
         performance and ease future maintainability (LP: #1165047, LP: #1169102,
         LP: #1170669)
       - Added logic to detect cloned (virtual) computers (LP: #1161856)
       - The landscape-client and landscape-common packages do not use or depend
         on dbus code anymore, and the dependencies to python-gi and gudev are
         dropped. The hardware info plugin now looks at /proc instead of querying
         DBus (LP: #1175553, LP: #1180691)
       - The ceph manager plugin is now a monitor plugin and thus does not require
         root privileges anymore. (LP: #1186973)
       - The detection logic for virtual machine was changed to account for the
         different semantics between Openstack Folsom and Grizzly, and was
         expanded to detect more hypervisors (LP: #1191843)
       - Removed legacy upgrader code from postinst since support for it was
         dropped.
       - The /etc/dbus-1/system.d/landscape.conf file was moved from the
         landscape-common package to the landscape-client-uii as part of
         LP: #1175553, LP: #1180691. No "Breaks" rule was added since the
         landscape-client-ui package requires the exact same version of
         landscape-common, which avoids the case outlined in
         http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f53 . The Replaces
         rule of landscape-client was updated accordingly.
      * Removed the hardwareinfo patch since the changes were merged upstream
      * Changed dh_clean -K to dh_prep (dh_clean -K is deprecated)
      * Removed the packages arguments to dh_installman since all packages have
        manpages now.
      * While the debconf config file still has registration_password as a
        variable, the newest code expects a registration_key. Made the necessary
        changes for that to work.

  • landscape-client (12.05-0ubuntu1.10.04) lucid-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * Added fix for lshw storm when the client was talking to an old
        Landscape server which was then upgraded (LP: #1053057).

  • landscape-client (12.05-0ubuntu0.10.04) lucid-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream release 12.05 (r561 in trunk) (LP: #1004678).
      * Make all subpackages that depend on each other require the exact same
        version, instead of >= $version.
      * Added python-gi to client depends starting natty.
      * Make change-packages also handle package holds (LP: #972489).
      * Fix typo in glade file (LP: #983096).
      * Tidy up apt facade (LP: #985493).
      * Remove SmartFacade and its tests, no longer used (LP: #996269).
      * Remove check for apt version, since we won't release this for
        Hardy where that check matters (LP: #996837).
      * Remove methods that were smart specific. We no longer use smart
        (LP: #996841).
      * Remove smart-update helper binary. We no longer use smart
        (LP: #997408).
      * Remove test-mixins that were useful only during the apt-to-smart
        code migration. Now with smart gone, they are no longer necessary
        (LP: #997760).
      * Build the packages from precise onward, not just precise.
      * Assorted packaging fixes:
        - Switched to format 3.0 (quilt).
        - Added source lintian overrides, with comments.
        - Updated debian/rules:
          - Added build-arch and build-indep dummy target.
          - Build the GUI packages from precise onwards, and not just on precise.
          - Re-enable dh_lintian.
          - Strip the binaries (dh_strip), and also call dh_shlibdeps for the
            automatic shlibs dependency.
          - Added python-gi from natty onwards.
        - Used __Choices instead of _Choices in landscape-common.templates, it's
          better for translators.
        - Updated standard version to 3.8.2, the version from Lucid (oldest one
          we support)
        - Added shlibs depends.
        - Dropped deprecated ${Source-Version} and replaced it with
          ${binary:Version}
        - Require exact version of the sibling package instead of >=.

  • landscape-client (12.04.3-0ubuntu0.10.04) lucid-proposed; urgency=low
    
      Tracking bug: LP: #978884
    
      [ David Britton ]
      * Warn on unicode entry into settings UI (LP: #956612).
      * Sanitise hostname field in settings UI (LP: #954507).
      * Make it clear that the Landscape service is commercial (LP: #965850)
      * Further internationalize the settings UI (LP: #962899)
      * Depend on python-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets instead of python-aptdaemon and
        replace dependency on python-gobject by python-gi (LP: #961894)
      * Add i18n to the landscape-client-ui-install script. (LP: #961891)
    
      [ Andreas Hasenack ]
      * Fix default landscape hostname in glib schema.
      * dpkg test improvements to fix intermittent failures.
      * If ssl_public_key is supplied, use it also when fetching script
        attachments. This fixes the case of using script execution with
        attachments when the Landscape server is using a custom CA,
        most common in LDS deployments. (LP: #959846)
      * Make sure we have a PATH variable set before doing package
        activities, and also set it in the initscript for good measure. If
        the client was configured and restarted by the new UI configuration
        tool, PATH wasn't set, triggering an error in dpkg. (LP: #961190)
      * Make landscape-client-ui depend on landscape-client-ui-install, so
        that we get an entry in the system settings if just
        landscape-client-ui is installed. The actual entry comes from
        landscape-client-ui-install.
      * Optimization: when adding binaries, don't reload every repo, only the one
        containing the binaries. (LP: #954822)
      * Handle the case where the user clicks twice inadvertently on the
        Landscape icon in system settings and don't start a second copy of
        itself. (LP: #960211)
      * Change package management features to use APT instead of Smart (LP: #856244,
        #861707, #859615, #861345, #863239, #863259, #865270, #865272, #865285,

        #948142, #953136, #953906, #956590).
      * Add a GTK interface to configure the client (LP: #911279, #911666, #912163,
        #911665, #916300, #931937, #931937, #943622, #945025, #911279, #944652,

        #953065, #954414, #954332, #954542, #955966, #955139, #956030, #956119).
      * Add the ability to auto discover the server location on local deployment
        (LP: #917422, #927620, #917422, #928585, #929087, #932325, #948564)
      * Allow the client to accept arbitrary environment variables from the
        server for script execution (LP: #954999).
      * Make landscape-config exit non-zero when registration fails and
        --ok-no-register is not passed (LP: #271759).
      * Check for the content of /sys/bus/xen/devices to report a machine as a Xen
        VM instead of just relying on the existence of /sys/bus/xen (LP: #921970).
      * Make sure cloud registration succeeds if there is no kernel specified in
        the meta-data service (LP: #920453).
      * Report private and public IP adresses from the metadata service at cloud
        registration time (LP: #918366).
      * Add support for reporting hardware information using lshw (LP: #899002,
        #943975, #955734).
      * Add support for the new attachment service in script execution
        (LP: #893040).
      * Adds a new message type, 'register-provisioned-machine', which is meant
        to register computers using an OTP (LP: #881405).
      * Add local cloning option for load testing (LP: #872830, #925924).
      * Add more variables to preseeding (LP: #863204, #867710).
      * Allow the configuration of the ping interval (LP: #397884).
      * Add fake package reporters for load testing purposes (LP: #821571,
        #821570).
      * Report a package reporter error to the server if no APT sources are
        configured, to trigger a package reporter alert (LP: #823769).

  • landscape-client (11.07.1.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.0) lucid-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * Try to load the old persist file if the current one doesn't exist or is
        empty (LP: #809210).
      * Fallback to gethostname to get something interesting out of get_fqdn.
      * Fix wrong ownership and permissions when the reporter is run as a result
        of applying a repository profile (LP: #804008).
      * Keep original sources.list ownership (LP: #804548).
      * Refactored tests (LP: #805746).
      * Preserve permissions of sources.list (LP: #804548).
      * Added a broker command line option (--record) that saves exchanges with the
        server to the filesystem
      * Detect if running in a vmware guest (LP: #795794).
      * Report VM type when run in the cloud (LP: #797069).
      * Report VM type in non-cloud registration (LP: #795752).
      * Report the package reporter result even in case of success, not just in
        case of failure (LP: #780406).
      * Report package reporter errors (LP: #732490).
      * Fix dependencies for hardy removing references to python 2.4 packages for
        pycurl and dbus (LP: #759764).
      * The landscape client now reports whether it is running on a virtual machine
        or not.
      * Add a plugin which manages APT sources.list and the associated GPG keys
        (LP: #758928).
      * Limit the number of items in a network message to 200, to prevent problems
        when communication is interrupted with the server and the client
        accumulates too many network items, thus overloading the server when it's
        available again (LP: #760486).
      * Updated version number in __init__.py so that the client reports the
        correct one in its user-agent string.

          (LP: #688514).

  • landscape-client (1.5.5.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.0) lucid-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * The client network plugin would send erroneous data if a network
        interface was removed (and its kernel module removed as well) and
        then readded (LP: #641264).

        - The --help command line option can now be used without being
          root (LP: #613256).
    
        - The client Unix sockets and symlinks are now cleaned up at shutdown.
          Without this cleaning, the client could refuse to start because of a PID
          collision (LP: #607747).
    
        - The network traffic plugin didn't use to take into account integer
          overflows. This would cause the plugin to send negative values
          sometimes (LP: #615371).

      * New upstream version (LP: #610744):
    
        - The Eucalyptus management plugin reports the output of the
          'euca-describe-availability-zones verbose' command, which includes
          information about the available instance types and the maximum
          number of each instance type that the cloud can support (LP: #599338)
    
        - Check if the package directory exists before trying to check the
          package changer lock in the dbus-proxy. This fixes a bug when upgrading
          a dbus-landscape which never registered (LP: #603514).
    
        - Allow an LDS server to bootstrap new cloud instances with its own CA,
          which is picked up by the client, written to a file on the instance, and
          used in subsequent exchanges with the server (LP: #605079).
    
        - Skip loopback interface when reporting device info (LP: #608314)
    
        - Disable landscape-sysinfo when load is more than 1 (LP: #608278)
