Merge lp:~sil2100/update-manager/ignore_prompt_lts_for_non-lts into lp:update-manager

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Ignore Prompt=lts for non-LTS series. This way if a user is on a non-LTS and has Prompt=lts, he/she will be upgraded to the next supported series until finally reaching an LTS.

As mentioned by Brian, this will probably require some dependency changes in the ubuntu-release-upgrader as well since now MetaReleaseCore is using distro_info to check for the lts status.

This looks good to me, I just have a couple of in-line comments.

Small correction in a comment.

Stop using 'type' as a variable name. It's a bad python variable name.

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Done! Thanks for the review!

Proposition: since MetaRelease.py uses distro-info now, I guess it's most logical to make it depend on it?

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

MetaRelease.py is included in the package python3-update-manager and python3-distupgrade so I think both of those should depend on distro-info.

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Ok, so leaving this as is - will you merge it once you have a moment today?

I can provide a dep addition to ubuntu-release-upgrader although I personally don't think it's needed. I didn't do it before as python3-distupgrade already depends on python3-update-manager, which after this merge lands will be pulling in the dependency of distro-info already. But I can understand if you want to add an explicit dep for clarity though.
