Thank you for the git repository. I uploaded this into Jammy/NEW after confirming it follow the process and structure described in: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MIRTeam/Exceptions/OEM

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/+queue?queue_state=0&queue_text=oem-

Once accepted into the archive, this bug report needs to be moved to the corresponding package name "oem-sutton-abishag-meta", instead of the "Ubuntu" bug task.

@slyon, Thanks for the sponsoring.
But we need to upload the OEM metapackage into https://launchpad.net/~canonical-oem-metapackage-uploaders/+archive/ubuntu/oem-metapackage-staging first to get the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperMembershipBoard/KnowledgeBase#Canonical_OEM_metapackage_packageset before we put it in the queue.

I have included this package into the canonical-oem-metapackages packageset.

Thank you @fourdollars. I assigned ~ubuntu-archive to this (and the other, related bugs) so that they can now accept it from the NEW queue.

Although the oem meta packages have been around now for some time, I am coming across this as I believe the first one I have ever reviewed as an SRU Team member / Archive Admin.

And I find that the expectations here are under-documented.

Why is this package uploaded to the NEW queue only in the last LTS, and not to the devel series?

If a user gets such a metapackage installed in an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS install, and then they choose to upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04, which we support; or to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS when it is released; what is supposed to happen?

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2020-January/002478.html is referenced by one of the wiki pages, and contains the text:

> Also, eventually, the certified oem metapackages will wean certified
> machines off the oem kernel flavour onto the hwe/generic flavours when
> those incorporate all the needed delta for a given SKU.

However, if these metapackages do not exist in later releases, there seems to be no way at all for this to happen. So what provisions are there in place to see that this does happen?

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OEMArchive says that the oem package archives are located at http://oem.archive.canonical.com/dists/. oem-sutton-abishag-meta points to lenovo.archive.canonical.com. Why is this different?

I just updated https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OEMArchive that http://*.archive.canonical.com/ are all mapped to the same server.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OEMArchive was mentioning "These OEM archives are currently made available for 20.04 only" and "It is worth noting that as the only focus of the OEM experience is currently 20.04, the aforementioned meta-packages are only made available via focal release and focal-updates" and I just modified it to include 22.04.

If the users choose to upgrade to Ubuntu 23.04, it should still use the same OEM kernel or the general kernel on Ubuntu 23.10 while OEM metapackage is not purged.

Certified machines only exist for Ubuntu LTS series in general so OEM metapackages will only follow the certification on https://ubuntu.com/certified/ to publish the corresponding OEM metapackage.

Taking https://ubuntu.com/certified/202303-31377 for example, it is certified on Ubuntu 22.04 so we will prepare the corresponding OEM metapackage, i.e. oem-sutton-abishag-meta, for it.
