This >is a blocker, so we'll explore this. I've fixed this, pending deployment, which I expect will happen on Monday. The fix was to move the process of closing bugs when accepting uploads from a queue into an asynchronous job. The only slight downside is that bugs may take up to a minute or two to be closed after an archive admin runs "queue accept"; I don't expect that this will cause anyone any serious inconvenience. I'll wait until after beta-2 to make sure nothing else crops up during this freeze, but if there are no more timeouts then I expect I will remove the old queue script after that. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
Call for Testing: Java Applications with OpenJDK7
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Hi All For Quantal the default implementation of Java has been switched from OpenJDK 6 to OpenJDK 7 in-line with objectives agreed in [1]. This basically means that if you install default-[jdk|jre|jre-headless] or you install OpenJDK 6 and 7 then Ubuntu will prefer OpenJDK 7 by default. This is an important change as OpenJDK 7 is much more closely aligned with Oracle Java 7; performance and compatibility should be comparable on x86 based architectures. This change has been in place for some time now but as we approach Beta-2 it would be great if anyone who uses Java on a regular basis, either for development or to run applications, could do some more extended testing to ensure that this transition is still going nice and smoothly. If you find any problems please report bugs and tag with 'java7-regression-potential'. We still have a few outstanding FTBFS with OpenJDK 7 as default Java - see [2] if you have some time to help out. There are also have a large number of potential bytecode compatibility issues (packages which build with OpenJDK 7 but don't set the flags to ensure that the code built is compatible with Java 6 as well) - see [3] for the full list of impacted packages which when re-built exhibit this problem. I'm also in the progress of assessing the binary packages already in the archive for quantal which might already have this issue (which should be fixed as a priority). See [4] for more details on how to resolve both of these types of issues. Thanks in advance for any time you can spare either testing or fixing bugs.

An apt > isn't content with knowing one of the signatures is valid. It's actually just a warning; it will still consider the archive signed (i.e. you don't need --allow-unauthenticated to install from it). So upgrades will still work fine but people paying close attention may be discomfited by the warning. > Is the key, (or if my suggestion is correct - a fix for apt) going to > be SRU'd? We should SRU the new key.

Re: Quantal Beta Freeze now in effect.
Hi all, On Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 05:11:17PM -0500, Kate Stewart wrote: > Dear Developers, >Beta Freeze[1] is now in effect (Thursday, September 20). > All uploads to the archive will now have to be approved manually > by the release team, prior to inclusion. I just want to be clear on a couple of things. - The freeze is nominal for packages in universe/multiverse that are not on any media (use seeded-in-ubuntu to verify this). Feature Freeze continues to apply to these packages, but uploads require a manual push through the queue. - You may still upload bug fix releases to other packages, which the release team will consider on a case-by-case basis. We may hold uploads in the queue until after the beta, if the fixes are not necessary for the beta.
