[Bug 2065515] Re: [SRU] Ceph Squid release candidate

[James Page]

@raof

1) the million dollar question - I would expect in the next month or so
based on prior experience.  When we discussed as a team we agreed that
we should push forward with the RC version now; its an improvement on
the snapshot in archive already (which has some know bugs for upgraders
running Ceph).

2) the two patches picked (logentry and snapmapper) where required to
resolve FTBFS in this release - potentially in Oracular due to a
different g++ version; we did all of the initial packaging in the
development release and then backported to noble for the SRU so its
possible they may not be required (I'd have to go build check without
them to confirm either way).

Version comment - the internal version is 19.1.0 but we'd already
managed to burn 19.2.0~ with a snapshot earlier in the year and I really
didn't want to bump the epoch on the package to resolve - 19.2.0 will be
the Squid release version.  This gives us progression in versioning
without the need for the epoch but I'm open to other suggestions on how
to manage this.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Ubuntu 24.04 LTS users are currently using a development snapshot of Ceph; the upstream project are working towards a release and produced a 19.1.0 RC which we should include in 24.04 as a stepping stone towards release.  There are current know upgrade issues with the development snapshot included.

  [Test Case]
  No reproducer for this bug; RC will be tested in the following ways:

  - As part of a core24 based microceph built from proposed
  - Using the standard OpenStack Regression Testing utilised for validation of OpenStack and Ceph updates under the MRE already in place:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStack/StableReleaseUpdates

  Test results will all be attached to this bug report.

  [Where things might go wrong]
  As this is an RC there will likely be outstanding bugs that will need to be resolved by the upstream project before release; This is expected but the RC will be an improvement on the current development snapshot in terms of quality.
