provd: Removing pro and chown services (sprovd) #784

Closed matthew-hagemann closed 1 week ago

matthew-hagemann commented 1 week ago

This change drops sprovd for security concerns. With it I have removed the chown and pro services that relied on it from the go backend, and the chown service from the Flutter frontend.

The chown work will be made redundant by future systemd work for provd
The pro backend will be moved to stage 5 / Flutter in the future.

While this does temporary pose an issue for the a11y and pro flutter pages, we can disable them thanks to #777 for the time being.

Closes Udeng 3455

Now this is just a draft, but the PR titles should be a bit more explanatory I think :smile:

As this renders the ubuntu pro page in ubuntu init non-functional, should we also remove the UI and service for that?

We do ultimately want to write a dart backend for pro and keep the page. My thinking was to just leave it for now until we get back to that, as it can be disabled, and only the core desktop team is using it? I'm happy to remove more than I have though if you think that would be better.
