Hello Allen, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into jammy-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/2.765.57 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-
jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-jammy. 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:
  build.info is not present on ubuntu-base and ubuntu-oci Jammy images

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Jammy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]
  - Currently, every supported ubuntu-base and ubuntu-oci Ubuntu image since Noble contains the file /etc/cloud/build.info which provides information about the build_name and its corresponding serial. Ex:
      build_name: server
      serial: 20250821
  - This file provides crucial information about the image which is used by subsequent processes. For example:
      CPC test automation uses this to check if the image is a pro or FIPS image
  - Since this file was introduced in Noble, Jammy images do not contain this file
  - We would like to add this file into Jammy ubuntu-base and ubuntu-oci images to meet requirements for cloud images
  - The proposed plan involves changing the build file in livecd-rootfs to insert the /etc/cloud/build.info file at image build time

  [ Test Plan ]
  - Check if the current Jammy ubuntu-base and ubuntu-oci images contains the /etc/cloud/build.info file
  - With this change, all newly generated ubuntu-base and ubuntu-oci Ubuntu images should contain the above mentioned file
  - Check that the file contains the expected content

  [ Where problems could occur ]
  - If any of the user’s process involves creating a folder with a similar path, ex: if they have an automation which creates a folder cloud in /etc

  [ Other Info ]
  ~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
  Release:        22.0
