[Bug 1906805] Re: Create qcow2 images for ubuntu appliances (for LXD and multipass consumption)

[Brian Murray]

Hello Łukasz, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into bionic-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/2.525.49 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-
bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-bionic. 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: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

Title:
  Create qcow2 images for ubuntu appliances (for LXD and multipass
  consumption)

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Multipass is moving to LXD for its VM needs so that the company only maintains one QEMU/KVM "wrapper" implementation. To do that without losing the appliance images, the streams need to be compatible with LXD.
  For this, we want to start building qcow2 images for all the appliance images alongside of the regular 'raw' images.

  [Test Case]

  Run a bionic-proposed appliance livefs build (for instance, with
  SUBARCH=appliance-openhab-core18-amd64), wait for the build to finish
  and make sure that the list of generated/exported artifacts has a
  .qcow2 image in it.

  [What could go wrong]

  As with any shell scripting scenario, if potentially there is a
  logical bug or a syntax error in the new changes, building regular
  ubuntu-core images could be broken.
