Hi, You may from time to time need things from the Continuous Integration team.

automake-1.14
automake-1.14 is now the default automake version in Trusty. Unlike previous version numbering scheme this is _not_ a major release and thus building packages shouldn't regress. It does introduce new warnings of planned future depreciations. autopkgtests and unit tests pass with this version. If you do notice FTBFS, please let me know, to add versioned dependencies, fixes and autopkgtests for the affected packages.

Re: Planning to create a new distro of Ubuntu

For those of you who are subscribed to ubuntu-users, you would have heard about my plans to create this (Anyone interested in a GNOME 2 look and feel remix?). Officially called Ubuntu MATE Remix, this will integrate the MATE Desktop Environment to the power and stability of Ubuntu. In fact, I already had a working prototype based on Saucy Salamander. You can download the prototype at https://shared.com/unqjauvtrj Currently, there are a few issues with the prototype. 1. I do not know how to implement a GUI bootmenu in the Live CD (like the one used in the Ubuntu Live CD). 2. I do not know how to make the system to autostart the GUI, so the only way to start the GUI is to type 'startx' on the command line. Have a look at /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ which determines which environment to load. Apparently the default is still configured there (user-session=ubuntu ?), and since those packages are not available, you get the CLI prompt. I will be generating another prototype based on Trusty Tahr soon. After testing out my prototype, can you give me a few suggestions to improve the distro? I hope that this will be officially recognised and supported by the Ubuntu community. I am totally new to MATE; I notice that the MATE packages exist in a separate repository. Do you know of any effort to get them to 'universe'? I think that would help tremendously.
