Bug Description
After Wily landscape was taken out of the default installs for dragging in too much of python2 dependencies.
But recently landscape is now on python3 and back then the plan was to bring it back in when that happens.
It was discussed by the product stakeholders and decided to do so.
I wanted to document some details in the bug to refer to them from the seed entry.
In the past (pre Xenial) there were more components than today:
* landscape-client - was in the cloud-image (and pulled in landscape-common by dependencies)
* landscape-common - was in the default server install
* landscape-client - was on the Server ISO to install along landscape-common off the disk
* landscape-
These days there only are (both in main already)
* landscape-client
* landscape-common
We do not want to touch the Desktop case, but now that it is py3 it should be back on the server.
I discussed the details and we want:
* landscape-common - installed in cloud-image and default server install
* landscape-client - available from the ISO
But while py3 means it will not pull in "all of py2" it still hase py3 dependencies that would not be needed without any dependencies. It will drag in some python packages still.
The following analysis was done with landscape-common 18.01-0ubuntu2 as it is in bionic today and a fresh clean cloud-image as well as lxd container.
In both it will additionally bring in:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
bc
landscape-common
python3-attr
python3-automat
python3-click
python3-colorama
python3-
python3-hyperlink
python3-
python3-openssl
python3-pam
python3-pyasn1
python3-
python3-
python3-twisted
python3-
python3-
That will be 15.6 MB of additional disk space (after install).
This will be ~the amount the cloud image qcow grows, but will be less in the compressed form of the lxd image.
I can prep the seed changes, but need two acks to be sure:
1. a confirm that this really is exactly the change we want
2. that the extra dependencies that will be installed were considered when the decision to bring it back was made

@Andreas - thanks for the mail clarification on landscape package history.
The needed seed change will be:
- server - add landscape common
- (cloud-image implicitly pulls in the ubuntu-server meta package)
- (landscape-client is already in server-ship so both are on the ISO)
So the change itself is minimal and consists of:
=== modified file 'server'
--- server 2018-03-07 17:32:29 +0000
+++ server 2018-03-16 07:00:35 +0000

And a follow on update on ubuntu-meta to update the "ubuntu-server" package.
Waiting for the ack on the questions I outlined (at the end of the description) to go on - David/Steve you were part of these discussions - can you confirm?
