[Bug 1904447] Re: Update choose-mirror to default to groovy

[Brian Murray]

Hello Łukasz, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubiquity into groovy-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/20.10.13.1
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, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-groovy. 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.

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Groovy)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-groovy

Title:
  Update choose-mirror to default to groovy

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity source package in Groovy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  For every release, we always bumped choose-mirror's defaults to the current series. Last time this was done for focal. So right now the groovy installer uses 'focal' as the defaults.
  We no longer ship choose-mirror in the archive but instead vendorize it inside ubiquity.
  It's hard for me to assess what's the impact of this, but as it was done with every release (and was missed this time by mistake), we should make sure it's done properly.

  [Test Case]

  Build the ubiquity package and make sure that the right choose-mirror
  version is used during build.

  There is no more specific test case we could run. A test installation
  using the new ubiquity could be performed to make sure everything is
  done properly (and us using the right mirrors etc.).

  [What could go wrong]

  There is not much regression potential with this change, as this
  upload only modifies one vendored package - choose-mirror. The change
  only affects 2 files (header used during build and some debconf
  templates) - and those can't really affect many components. Running a
  successful install should provide enough regression coverage.

  [Original Description]

  We missed this step in the release process, let's backport a fix for
  it now.
