[Bug 2032605] Re: [FFe] Update OVN to new 23.09.0 upstream version

[Frode Nordahl]

** Description changed:

- As detailed in an upstream announcement [0], the OVN 23.09.0 release is
- delayed. The estimated date for release is Friday September 15th.
- 
- The stable branch was created September 1st [2][3] and the expected
- release date was reiterated. Except for one feature still in review [4],
- from which upstream is considering merging the 8 first patches, the
- branch is mostly expected to receive bug fixes for any issues found
- during testing before its release.
+ As detailed in an upstream announcement [0], the OVN 23.09.0 release was
+ delayed. It was released as scheduled on Friday September 15th [1] and
+ the upstream NEWS file has been updated accordingly [2].
  
  This new upstream version includes fixes performance improvements and
  new features that are important for our community, and we would like to
  include it in the Ubuntu Mantic release.
  
- Our plan towards the Ubuntu release is the following:
- - Perform extended testing with the branched version on downstream consumers such as OpenStack.
- - Await final release and upload it to Debian as soon as it is available on September 15th and subsequently sync to Ubuntu if FFe is ACK'd.
+ We are in the process of updating Debian unstable with the new version
+ and the MR has been approved [3].
+ 
+ The package can also be viewed in a PPA for details on how it would look
+ on Ubuntu [4].
+ 
+ As soon as the package has been uploaded to Debian unstable we would
+ like to sync it to Mantic.
