Merge lp:~fginther/ubuntu-touch-boottest/use-devel-proposed-g++5-channel into lp:ubuntu-touch-boottest

[Francis Ginther]

Temporarily switch wily to the ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed-g++5/ubuntu channel to resolve the issues with the library transition (per slangasek's recommendation).

Temporarily switch wily to the ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed-g++5/ubuntu channel to resolve the issues with the library transition (per slangasek's recommendation).

Apt is unable to calculate the right upgrade path for about 20-30 packages during this current transition of g++. The ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed-g++5/ubuntu channel provides a more usable image for apt to calculate upgrades as it already contains the updated libraries. This has been tested with ubuntu-system-settings [1] which is currently one of these stuck packages.

This will not prematurely promote any packages as these are all being manually held for a single promotion of g++ and everything that needed to be rebuilt/updated. This just removes boottest as a promotion blocker.

Once the transition is complete, this change needs to be reverted.
