      entirely on lsblk as lsblk differs widely between ubuntu releases.
    - support extracting tar files compressed with xz or bzip or
      uncompressed. Previously required gzip compression.
    - Improve dependency checking and installation
      this fixes curtin running on precise and installing dependencies
      it needs.
    - Reduce chance udev race with mdadm opening /dev/mdX
    - Allow re-use of bcache cache devices with separate backing devices
    - invoke mkfs.ext3 or mkfs.ext4 with -F to fix issues found if
      target device had a filesystem already present.
    - Partition alignment and sizing fixes
    - Set bcache cache_mode if present in storage config
    - when apt-get update is called during installation, do not download
      translation files and source files, reducing chances for mismatch.
    - add system-install sub command. 'curtin system-install pastebinit'
      will install packages in a way guaranteed to not prompt.
    - add 'system-upgrade' command and config to easily update the
      system after installation before reboot.
    - fix reporting of FAIL when a subcommand used sys.exit(0)
    - grub-install: if fail to find mounted uefi partition, give more
      debug output
    - network config: add support for dns-search key in subnet and search
      in nameserver
    - Ensure required networking packages are installed in the target.
    - stop grub from going into graphical/vga mode on installed systems
    - curthooks: support specifying kernel/package without mapping
    - ChrootableTarget: do not attempt to change resolv.conf if
      there is no /etc directory
    - list the set of features that curtin has for library users.
      users can now check the FEATURES list for a specific feature.
    - fix bug in argument parsing --set mykey=foo=bar
    - in-target: add '--capture' to in-target and special case target=/
    - support declaring json in --set argument via --set=json:...
    - add reporting function to allow calling a webhook endpoint
      with status of curtin install.
    - Allow partprobe to return 1, which is expected when no partition table
      exists
    - support storage config providing /dev/disk/by-dname links
    - enable setting of verbosity and showtrace via config file
    - drop python-parted dependency
    - swap: use fallocate if possible for much faster swap file creation
    - support network-config, where networking configuration is declared
      in curtin config that will be applied to the host.
    - support storage-config, allowing curtin to install and use many
      different storage configurations (LVM, bcache, btrfs...)

Title:
  simple networking mode (net-meta) does not account for device names

Status in curtin:

Status in curtin package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in curtin source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released
Status in curtin source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Users which do not use a customized network configuration rely
     on curtin's fallback/automatic configuration.  On Xenial and newer
     systems the network configuration that is generated doesn't always
     work due to the persistent nic names which do not match between
     initial install environment and booting the system after
     installation.

     This affects all curtin releases which use auto configure
     networking and an Ubuntu release which uses persistent network
     device nameing.
     
   * This SRU resolves the bug by ensuring auto configured networking
     includes nic naming rules to ensure the network device names match
     what is generated in the config.

  
  [Test Case]

   * On a Xenial 16.04 system
      - % apt-get install curtin
      - % OUTPUT_NETWORK_CONFIG=rendered-eni curtin net-meta -t /tmp auto

  
    FAIL: Systems with the error will print an interfaces file to stdout

    PASS: Systems with the fix with emit host networking config to the file
          "rendered-eni" and produces no output to stdout.

  
  [Regression Potential]

   * Users that use auto configuration may find that the persistent nic
     names in the target system are no longer ethN, but named based on
     location.

  
  [Original Description]
  I ran
   nosetests3 -v tests/vmtests/test_basic.py:XenialTestBasic
  and was seeing failures.

  That does an install without network config, so it relies on 'net-
  meta' of 'auto'.

  The install worked, but boot failed as networking was not configured.

  The issue is that the net-meta was writing /etc/network/interfaces
  file, but no udev rules or other mechanism to ensure that the device
  got the same name in the new environment.  That, coupled with a change
  in the commands between 'launch' and 'xkvm' meant that the install
  environment named the device 'ens3' and the installed environment
  'ens4'.

  I'll attach logs just for completeness.
