Public bug reported: 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.
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. 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. ** Affects: juju-quickstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1282630 Title: feature freeze exception to remove sudo support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/juju-quickstart/+bug/1282630/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
