pollinate (4.23-0ubuntu1~12.04) precise; urgency=medium
[ Dustin Kirkland ]
* New upstream release (LP: #1621280):
- pollinate:
+ revert revision r300, as this was the wrong fix to the slow
pollinate problem; as it turns out, it was the user_agent
function, which was running apt-cache very early in boot, before
the apt database had been created
+ as it turns out, we need the curl timeout options in order for
curl to work properly and be resilient against issues with the
network coming up early in boot
- debian/pollinate.default, pollinate
+ fix a couple of bugs affecting how long pollinate takes, and if
it actually completes successfully
+ dpkg -l is way faster than apt-cache, when there is no apt cache
+ wait a maximum of 10 seconds
+ only log to stderr if in an interactive terminal; otherwise,
just log to syslog
- this fixes the odd double-printing to /var/log/syslog
+ optimize obtaining version strings by saving one pipe per call
+ source /etc/lsb/release and use $DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION, rather
than calling lsb-release (python, can be slow)
+ add -m (max-timeout) back to curl options; removing this option
has caused network failures in various strange ways
+ when network fails due to timeout, log accordingly
+ ignore cloud-init package not found; it's optional
