** Description changed: - The libvirt package contains debian/libvirt-daemon.README.Debian which - contains important information, namely that the libvirtd group is root - equivalent. + [ Impact ] - While the file gets installed in focal and jammy by the libvirt-daemon - package, it looks like it's no longer getting installed in noble and up. + * The libvirt source package contains debian/libvirt- + daemon.README.Debian which contains important information, namely that + the libvirtd group is root equivalent. + + * While the file gets properly installed in Focal and Jammy by the + libvirt-daemon package (as well as Plucky and above via a symlink to the + new libvirt-common docs), it looks like it does not get installed in + Noble and Oracular. + + * Up until Jammy libvirt-daemon had a dedicated debian/libvirt- + daemon.docs files, which made dh_installdocs pick up the d/libvirt- + daemon.README.Debian file automatically and install it in the + corresponding usr/share/doc/ directory. But afterwards docs were moved + into the libvirt0 binary package and libvirt-daemon.README.Debian was + forgotten. + + + * Starting in 10.10.0-4 (Plucky and above) docs were moved to a new libvirt-common package and the README was renamed to libvirt-common.README.Debian: + + * We're applying a similar approach here, but moving it to libvirt0, as + that is where the symlinks are pointing to in Noble & Oracular. + + [ Test Plan ] + + * Install the package from -proposed + + * ls -la /usr/share/doc/libvirt0/README.Debian.gz # original + * ls -la /usr/share/doc/libvirt-daemon/README.Debian.gz # via usr/share/docs/libvirt0/ symlink + * ls -la /usr/share/doc/libvirt-daemon-system/README.Debian.gz # via usr/share/docs/libvirt0/ symlink + + * Make sure all of those files exist and contain the same content (e.g. + sha256sum) + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + * Regression potential is minimal + * We're installing a file via dh_installdocs auto-detection (by package name). + * A typo could make the file not be installed at all (as it is right now). + + [ Other Info ] + + * Debian change: https://salsa.debian.org/libvirt- + team/libvirt/-/commit/e09852843c703ba3534da3c1174d5bf0f0d339ce
