Precise archive status from now to release.

2012-04-05 Thread Kate Stewart 
Dear Developers,
   We're now 3 weeks out from our 12.04 LTS release, and the archive has
be frozen help regulate the fixes we'll be picking up between now and
Final Freeze[1] on 4/12.  Getting as many of the high and critical bug
fixes included before Final Freeze is the current goal for this next
week.  The release candidate images are planned for 4/19 with release on
4/26. 

   Unseeded Universe package fixes and FFe's should be discussed in
#ubuntu-motu Freenode channel.   Some of the release team members[2]
will be be monitoring that channel for questions.   The Unseeded
Universe Final Freeze[3] is scheduled on 4/24 at 1200. 

   For questions about fixes for packages seeded in the images contained
in Precise's Release Manifest[4],  discussion should happen with the
release team in #ubuntu-release Freenode channel.

Thank you for the fixes you're producing and cooperation in getting them
incorporated into the release so that we can minimize regressions.

Kate Stewart,
on behalf of the Ubuntu Release Team.

addressing build failures exposed by GCC-4.7

2012-04-05 Thread Matthias Klose 
A rebuild of the archive using GCC-4.7 shows about ~330 additional build 
failures.  The rebuild was only done for Debian unstable [1], but I don't expect 
many differences compared to precise.  GCC-4.7 will become the default compiler 
for the q-series, so be prepared to address these issues.


Hints how to address the vast majority of these issues can be found at [2].

People helping with these issues should tag the debian report, and attach 
patches until the development cycle of the q-series starts.


  Matthias
