[Bug 1839500] Re: Add a future-proof provides btrfs-progs name for ease of usability

[Brian Murray]

Hello Dimitri, or anyone else affected,

Accepted btrfs-tools into xenial-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/btrfs-
tools/4.4-1ubuntu1.1 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 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-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  Add a future-proof provides btrfs-progs name for ease of usability

Status in btrfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in btrfs-tools source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Upstream, other distributions, and Ubuntu Bionic+ use btrfs-progs
  name for this package

   * For historical reasons, this package was called btrfs-tools

   * To ease usability and automation it would be nice if the future-
  proof name would be available on older releases as a Provides:

  [Test Case]

   * $ apt install btrfs-progs

     Should install btrfs-tools package on xenial, and have btrfs

  [Regression Potential]

   * We are rebuilding the btrfs package, and adding extra metadata
  without any other code changes. So the only risks there are, are from
  doing a no-change rebuild of the package.

  [Other Info]
   
   * Examples of automation that install btrfs:
     - ansible playbooks
     - lxd
     - curtin
     - cloud-init
     - juju
     - interactive sysadmins
