Public bug reported: [Impact] Machines on jammy no longer receive firmware security updates, as the LVFS server seemingly has blocked the old version. While they can presumably install older versions of the firmware, they are unable to get new firmware versions.
This requires a backport of meson in turn. This bug includes the backport of meson-1.5 from the 24.04.2 HWE stack. A backport of libxmlb 0.3.18 or newer may be required for optimal functionality. [Test Plan] We will follow the QA process from https://documentation.ubuntu.com/sru/en/latest/reference/exception-firmware-updates/: When a new version of fwupd or fwupdate is uploaded to -proposed, the following will be done: Test that UEFI capsule updates still work properly on an OEM system pulling from LVFS with secure boot enabled. Verify that CI tests have been running for the matching release upstream. Test that a system that offers a variety of in OS devices enumerate (example Thunderbolt, NVME) The appropriate signed packages have been uploaded as well If all the testing indicates that the image containing the new package is acceptable, verification will be considered to be done and the the package can be released from -proposed after the standard aging period. As for meson-1.5, this is a new package that will solely be used to build fwupd, so fwupd building is enough of a test plan. [Where problems could occur] This is for the OEM team to sort out. meson-1.5 is a new package and cannot cause any regressions on installed systems. [Other info] These are the most minimal backports of the versions in noble. A separate bug will be used to track the focal backport (that would land via esm-infra-updates) There is a exception for fwupd https://documentation.ubuntu.com/sru/en/latest/reference/exception- firmware-updates/ But it only covers updates from the same stable branch, not this update, which should be evaluated as an individual case. ** Affects: fwupd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: meson-1.5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: fwupd (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: meson-1.5 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: llvm-toolchain-19 (Ubuntu) => fwupd (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: meson-1.5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: fwupd (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: meson-1.5 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: [Impact] Machines on jammy no longer receive firmware security updates, as the LVFS server seemingly has blocked them because it gates on versions rather than feature flags.
