Netplan

  • Code reviews PR#516, PR#515, PR#511, PR#517
  • Fixed a problem in how virtual-ethernets and dummy-devices are handled in network-manager+netplan PR#513. These types of interfaces were not being identified by their names in the YAML, but by the Network Manager connection UUID.
  • Fixed a problem with the generation of OVS system units PR#512
  • Investigated an issue related to how some complex custom values from networkmanager.passthrough are parsed LP#2080301
  • Investigated an issue in the netplan status where non-ascii characters will not be rendered correctly LP#2079975
  • Investigated an issue related to /lib/netplan/ 99-network-manager-all.yaml. There is a comment in this file that will not be preserved if libnetplan rewrites the file. This is leading to debsums to complain about this file. LP#2078759
  • Investigated a crash that seems to be happening in the middle of the upgrade from Jammy to Noble. Apparently Network Manager might call netplan generate after libnetplan is updated but before netplan.io is. LP#2080516 LP#2033259

OpenSSL FIPS Java provider

Testing on Ubuntu Pro jammy with the Pro’s openssl FIPS module. Fixed failures arising due to:

  1. FIPS module always loaded by default
  2. ED25519 and ED448 signatures not allowed
  3. Invalid key-size bug in Mac tests

GraalVM

Prototyping exercise for the mx build tool (mx is quite closely coupled with oracle/graal and it is difficult to separate it into its own package).

TCK on armhf

Tests completed on NN, FF, and JJ. OO is in progress.
