State of 8.2.0, July 21, 2008

2008-07-21 Thread Michael Stone
The bulk of this report was generated in the July 16, 2008 software status
meeting and is therefore several days out of date. Please help update it over
the next two days in preparation for our Tuesday and Wednesday meetings!

Next, the bottom of the report contains my raw notes on important subsystems
like localization, collaboration, and session management. Please help fill
these sections in with important bugs by scheduling triage meetings with Greg
and me! (This week, I would particularly like to meet with people working on
Localization, Collaboration, and the Wireless/Connectivity subsystems.
Please suggest some times that would work well for you.)

Finally, I could really use some help preparing subsections of this
report and folding the triage comments given below into the trac tickets
to which they apply. If you have any interest in volunteering to help
me watch your favorite subsystem, please speak up!

I'll have fixed this before I leave tonight. Looks like a number of
libertas patches were applied to stable but not testing.

These are just awaiting new sugar packages and joyride builds

Not sure how high to prioritise this.

My changes from the last 2 weeks are now in joyride, leaving us 2mb over
target.
I slimmed down 2 more packages today (pam and xorg-x11-utils) which
should bring us to the target.

We also need to get these package forks into Fedora. I filed a load of
RH bugzilla bugs about them today. Hopefully Dennis can find time to
give them a quick glance, then I can find another Fedora dev to do the
merging and committing.

I have got TamTam working but audio performance is bad - stuttering etc.
Something (one of the ALSA components?) has regressed quite majorly
since F7.

remove mesa-libGL* and mesa-dri* stuff and similar.
mesa does not work since GLX is not compiled into X, at least on 2181.
(it does work if I compile it independently and gives me <3 FPS)
