Foreman » Packaging

Xenial pbuilder roots are now available on the slaves (https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-infra/commit/00a46f7c).

Packaging files were created for xenial in https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-packaging/commit/0982f39d, these are building fine.

Installer seem to fail as the default service provider under Puppet (as shipped in 16.04) is Upstart, not systemd. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/puppet/+bug/1570472 tracks the issue, but we may have to either recommend using PC1 packages with 16.04 or patch puppet-tftp to override the provider.

[ERROR 2016-05-09T13:38:36 verbose]  /Stage[main]/Tftp::Service/Service[tftpd-hpa]: Could not evaluate: Execution of '/sbin/status tftpd-hpa' returned 1: status: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

if it's only tftp, patching the tftp module is IMHO best for now

Yes, it does appear to only be tftp, so I'll file a PR there.

foreman-proxy works without specifying the provider as it only ships a systemd unit - the upstart provider appears to fallback to the 'service' command. tftpd-hpa ships both a systemd unit and an upstart config, so Puppet attempts to use upstart explicitly. Other external modules seem to be OK too, or have had patches to fix them.
