Hi,
As we come towards the end of the Linaro 11.05 cycle, Ubuntu is reaching
its release one month sooner. This provides unique challenges for our
Ubuntu-based images; Ubuntu LEB, developer, nano and ALIP. In order to
help alleviate any confusion surrounding freeze dates and archive uploads
the follow rules and dates apply:
2011-04-14 : The Ubuntu main archive and seeded packages are frozen.
Only important bug fixes will be allowed to packages that
are included in the Ubuntu images. Packages that are in
main, universe, multiverse, and overlays that are not part
of an Ubuntu image can continue to be uploaded.
2011-04-21 : Only Ubuntu release blocking bugs will be fixed from this
period onwards. Changes to non-seeded packages can
continue to be made as before.
2011-04-26 : Changes to unseeded universe and multiverse packages are
frozen. Changes to overlays can continue.
2011-04-28 : Ubuntu final release (Natty).
2011-04-29 : Changes to Natty archive packages can be made using the
natty-updates archive. Fixes first go into natty-proposed
and when tested and verified are uploaded to
natty-updates to be included in Linaro images. Both
natty-proposed and natty-updates are enabled on the
Linaro images for testing.
2011-05-19 : Linaro Release Candidate images are selected. All updates
to packages need to be tested and in the natty-updates
archive by this date. natty-proposed is disabled from the
images.
2011-05-21 : Linaro Release Candidate made. Only critical bug fixes
will be made from this period onwards using either the
natty-updates mechanism or overlays if no over solution
is available.
2011-05-28 : Linaro 11.05 final images released
