[Bug 2114840] Re: [sru] sos upstream 4.9.2

 

** Description changed:

  [ Impact ]
  
  * A new sosreport version is available upstream, and following the
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SosreportUpdates policy for stable release
  exception we will now SRU the sosreport 4.9.2 upstream release.
  
  * This release introduces a couple of new plugins as well as bugfixes
  done between the previous Ubuntu 4.8.2 sosreport version and the new
  4.9.2.
+ 
+ * This update also changes the name of the package from sosreport to
+ sos, so this aspect will need to be tested to ensure there is no
+ regression.
  
  [ Test Plan ]
  
  * The detailed test plan can be found on
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SosreportUpdates and should be tested by a
  couple of users.
  
  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
  * Some plugins might stop working, and this will show when running
  sosreport.
  
  * If there is an issue with a plugin that is causing instability to the
  system, this can be disabled by running 'sosreport -n <plugin_name>'.
  
  * Currently running sos collect with Juju 3 is -not- working, even for
- the current 4.5.6 Ubuntu version, we are working upstream on a fix here:
+ the current 4.8.2 Ubuntu version, we are working upstream on a fix here:
  https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/3422 this is not part of the core
  functionality of sos, and one can still run sos report manually on the
  nodes.
  
  [ Other Info ]
  
  * Useful plugins and updates that are now part of 4.8.2 and could do
  some testing:
  
  Upload
  
  * A new sos upload component has been added, moving the upload code from
  Policy() and allowing end-users to upload files to vendor locations from
  systems that may not match the vendor's products/distributions (e.g.
  when a report archive cannot be uploaded directly from the generating
  system, and must instead be uploaded from a workstation).
  
  Clean
  
  * The IPv6 MAC address parser has been updated to reduce false positive matches, including reduce matching again on previously obfuscated strings from other parsers.
  * No further obfuscation of .gz files when using --keep-binary-files option
  
  Report
  
  * Fixed regression in requesting case-id if not present
  * Ubuntu/Debian policy to use /tmp as default tmp-dir
  
  Plugins
  
  * New plugins: aap_containerized, oratab, charmed_mysql, helm, pulseaudio, valkey
  * The python plugin will now collect verbose output via pip.
  * Journal collection speed has been improved via a combination of a python implementation of tac, and calling non-sizelimited journal collections with --reverse.
-   * Users and automation that relies on static file naming is reminded that sos_reports/manifest.json should be referenced and the use of tags to find collections within an archive is recommended so that command string changes do not break parsing automation.
