[Bug 1592386] Re: [SRU] add links for obtaining management and support, fix documentation link in 10-help-text

[Chris J Arges]

Hello Dustin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted base-files into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-
files/9.4ubuntu4.1 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 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!

Title:
  [SRU] add links for obtaining management and support, fix
  documentation link in 10-help-text

Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in base-files source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Add links for obtaining management and support in 10-help-text, and
  fix the documentation link.  Should look very simple, concise, and
  clean, like this:

   * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com
   * Management:     https://landscape.canonical.com
   * Support:        https://ubuntu.com/advantage

  [Impact]

  This impacts command line users of Ubuntu server (and desktop)
  systems.  When logging into an Ubuntu console (tty, ssh), pam displays
  a dynamically generated MOTD (message of the day).  The current
  message of the day on Ubuntu servers has a broken link for
  documentation.  We need to fix that.  We should also add simple,
  clean, friendly links on how to obtain support and remotely manage the
  system.

  [Test Case]

  Upgrade the base-files package, and then regenerate the MOTD using
  'sudo update-motd'.  The new motd should be printed to screen.

  [Regression Potential]

  None.  This change affects one simple shell script in /etc/update-
  motd.d/10-help-text
