[Bug 1282630] Re: [FFE] remove sudo support

[Robie Basak]

Thanks Francesco. I've copied your summary to the bug description and
updated the bug title so that it's current to what we want to do now.

** Description changed:

- Quickstart currently supports using sudo so that it can launch a local
- lxc juju environment. Once Juju 1.18 support is released this is no
- longer required for quickstart to function. We'd like to be able to
- remove the sudo support form quickstart once 1.18 lands in trusty so
- that we do not have to maintain the potential attack vector in the
- package.
+ We just released on PyPi the new 1.2.0 release of quickstart.
+ Juju core 1.17.2 introduced sudo support for local environments, which required changes to how quickstart works: calling sudo is now handled by juju itself, and for this reason quickstart no longer requires to request sudo privileges when bootstrapping the environment.
  
- 1.18 is said to be approx 2weeks away and has a feature freeze exception
- for 14.04 currently. We estimate it would take 2-3 days to remove our
- sudo functionality and qa that after 1.18 lands.
+ A comprehensive list of changes introduced by the current release follow:
+ - Support for promulgated bundle URLs, e.g. “juju quickstart bundle:mediawiki/single”.
+ - Improved application help and installation instructions.
+ - Updates to the dependency list and to Juju version handling.
+ - Manifest file fixes.
+ - Do not use sudo when bootstrapping a local env if juju version >= 1.17.2.
  
- This would be a new micro release of quickstart as the functionality of
- it would not change, just the *how* it implements that functionality.
- 
- No other packages depend on quickstart and changes will not effect
- anything else.
+ Dependencies did not change:
+ jujuclient==0.17.5
+ PyYAML==3.10
+ urwid==1.1.1

** Summary changed:

- [FFE] remove sudo support
