[Bug 2029089] Re: Please backport UbuntuDistroInfo().get_all(result="object") to Xenial

[Thomas Ward]

This needs special handling / consideration from the Canonical teams and
the Release team before this can be added.

Xenial has already left End of Standard Support, so the Release and
Canonical teams need to decide if they want to out-of-band update/patch
this.

Title:
  Please backport UbuntuDistroInfo().get_all(result="object") to Xenial

Status in distro-info package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm working on a update to software-properties in 16.04 to support the
  Ubuntu Pro tab. This work has already been released to >=18.04 (e.g.
  check Pro commits to https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-
  dev/software-properties/+git/software-properties/+ref/ubuntu/bionic),
  but Xenial didn't receive a backport. Could you please procure that?

  The commit in question is "Show extended security maintenance status"
  which adds:

  ```python
  def current_distro():
      distro = aptsources.distro.get_distro()
      di = distro_info.UbuntuDistroInfo()
      releases = di.get_all(result="object")
      [...]
  ```

  This was added in distro-info 0.15 and 0.16.
