Server Team Meeting Minutes
Sorry this was late -- chuck = === Actions from previous meeting === No action was required from the previous meeting. === Natty Development === Last week alpha3 was released. Blueprints work items should be marked as postponed if they were completed. Everyone should have been doing ISO testing last week as well. [ACTION] Everybody should be doing ISO testing. === Ubuntu Server Team Events === No new events, but UDS is coming up pretty quickly. === Weekly Updates and Questions from the QA Team (hggdh) === Hggdh mentioned that he would need help in Alpha 3 testing and some baremetal installs would help. === Weekly Updates and Questions fromt the kernel team (smb) === Smb mentioned there was some EC2 testing fallout, some xfs regresssions, and nome nasty Lucid behavior in net name space (Bug #720095, Bug #725089, Bug #692848) === Weekly Updates from the Server Community team (kim0) === Ubuntu cloud days is coming soon (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCloudDays) which is basically similar to UDW but focus on the cloud. === Open Discussion === I mentioned that we want to add lxc containers support to the UEC images and there was no points raised. This would make things like openstack testing much easier. === Next Meeting date and Time === Tuesday March 8, 2011 16:00 UTC -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel

Maybe 'bzr debrelease', to avoid polluting the namespace too much? This should be implemented on top of 'dch' and support the -D option to specify an upload target; we definitely shouldn't have bzr-builddeb encoding its own notion of the default upload target, it's bad enough to have *one* package that doesn't get updated for this as part of the release. :) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

GCC 4.5 update in natty, reverting the ld --as-needed default just for the natty release
Today's GCC 4.5 update in natty reverts the ld --as-needed default just for the natty release. All issues with ld --as-needed in main were resolved until alpha3 release, and a good number in universe too. There is however still a large number of packages in the archive which don't build yet with this default, so to concentrate on more important issues, this default is reverted again, and will re-enabled with the start of the o-series. Please do not drop ld --as-needed related patches because the package seems to build with them. Many thanks to all those submitters for the around ~350 patches applied in natty.
