I have verfied from the autopkgtest runs that the specified tests have passed in all releases:
- 1.7.3 in cosmic - 1.6.9 in bionic - 1.2.30 in xenial - 1.0.1ubuntu2.21 in trusty I specifically checked that test-packages-require-authorization run, and that test-policy-pinning has more tests run than before; indicating the presence of the additional tests. ** Description changed: [Impact] These are not driven from a direct user experience, but are related to other developments: (1) unattended-upgrades could use the never pinning to disable repositories rather than switching candidates. That would simplify code quite a bit. (2) Packages-Require-Authorization lets a repository declare that downloading packages from it requires authorization. This is useful both for private repositories, as it can prevent unattended-upgrades failures if you remove authorization info; and it also allows creating a new form of semi-private repository, where only pool/ requires authorization. [Test case] Tests are included in autopkgtests and cover the common scenarios https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/blob/master/test/integration/test-packages-require-authorization: (1) Add repository with Packages-Require-Authorization and no auth.conf entry: pin -32768 (2) Add repository with Packages-Require-Authorization and a auth.conf entry: pin 500 (3) As (2), but a custom pin still applies https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/blob/master/test/integration/test-policy-pinning#L365 (1) Test that Pin-Priority: never overrides both per-package pins and per-repository pins (2) Test that Pin-Priority: never is only applied for per-repository (Package: *) pins - Tests in older releases should be the same, but it's not clear yet. Bug - will be updated once the SRUs are ready. - [Regression potential] The changes might introduce regressions in pinning. The pinning implementation in trusty is substantially different from the other releases, and should thus require more testing. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic verification-needed-cosmic verification-needed-trusty verification-needed-xenial ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-bionic verification-done-cosmic verification-done-trusty verification-done-xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1814727 Title: Backport never pinning and Packages-Require-Authorization Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apt source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in apt source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in apt source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in apt source package in Cosmic: Fix Committed Status in apt source package in Disco: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] These are not driven from a direct user experience, but are related to other developments: (1) unattended-upgrades could use the never pinning to disable repositories rather than switching candidates.
