And, if anyone would be interested in developing a system for testing Ubuntu Studio, you are welcome to get involved to develop such a system. Anyway, I will do some testing tomorrow. And will continue to do testing over the coming weeks. Current images can be found at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/dvd/current/ Not sure if you know how we've setup package testing for us over here. http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/306/builds/55995/testcases Someone did create a whole bunch of bugs for Studio Testcases - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests/+bugs?field.tag=ubuntu-studio Thanks. Someone would need to create test cases for each application. The simplest case is - does the application start? I suppose one could start there. The person best suited to make a test case for an application would be someone who normally uses it, or other applications like it. The actual person testing might not need to know as much. - Enough to know when something worked, or not. There is a whole lot of work there unfortunately - but if you wanted to go that way I could find some time for basic testcases. Depends what you're looking for. If you want to look deeper into that tracker stuff - I'm generally about. Mostly in our irc channels.

Maintainers of these enablement stacks have agreed to support these until a Trusty based enablement stack is supported in Precise. Once a Trusty enablement stack is supported, all previous enablement stacks would EOL and be asked to migrate to the final Trusty based enablement stack which would continue to be supported for the remaining life of Precise. When would they EOL? When the new one lands in -updates? Or after the point release including it (w/ installer support)? We intended for them to EOL around the 14.04.1 time frame. I think it now seems reasonable to EOL them after 12.04.5 has released. Additionally, we would want to purposely avoid clashing the 14.04.1 and 12.04.5 release dates and would suggest releasing 14.04.1 first and 12.04.5 after (exact date TBD). What would the rough date for the Precise point release be then? August? The point releases have roughly held a 6 month release cadence and I don't believe that should change for 12.04.5. Since 12.04.4 released in February, August sounds like a reasonable estimate assuming we can avoid clashing with the 14.04.1 release. It might be more realistic to push 12.04.5 to September, but I'll leave that to the discretion of the Ubuntu Release Team.

It would require some extra effort on part of the Canonical Foundations Team as well as the Ubuntu Release Team to spin up an additional set of images and testing coordination etc. However, I informally discussed this with a few members of each of those teams and the tentative agreement was that 12.04.5 was a reasonable request which could be accommodated. Collectively we could find no compelling reason to not provide 12.04.5. We also discussed that a 12.04.5 release should be optional for the Flavors to participate in. Additionally, we would want to purposely avoid clashing the 14.04.1 and 12.04.5 release dates and would suggest releasing 14.04.1 first and 12.04.5 after (exact date TBD). What are other's thoughts here? Does anyone have a compelling reason for not providing a 12.04.5 point release? +1 on release and proposal for timing - works well from a server team perspective!

So we should remove them from trusty-proposed. I have filed bug 1278352 to have these packages removed from Trusty. FYI, I just had a chat with the lead xapi developer. He's said that unfortunately management has told them not to work on the open-source xapi packages (at least for now); so if there is nobody in the community willing to maintain it, then I think removing it is probably the best option. On a related note -- what version of libvirt / Xen will be in Trusty? The SuSE guys have made a lot of progress on getting good support for libxl and libvirt; that's probably the best way forward. -George Libvirt version 1.2.x (currently .1) not sure whether this may or may not change until release. Xen ... at least 4.3.2 (not yet uploaded) but there has been some interest (for the better Arm support) on 4.4. Depends a bit how soon/late the release is compared to Trusty. Anyway, I would like to make xl the default for new setups at least. I am currently using it a lot together with virt-manager (though it has some odd ends still) and I am being told that openstack integration is done via libvirt at least (not sure they mandate the stack being xl or not). -Stefan signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
Next UDS: 11 - 13 March 2014
Hi Everyone, My apologies for the delay in announcing the next Ubuntu Developer Summit. The last few months have been somewhat hectic and we wanted to wait for some confirmed conference/sprint dates across Ubuntu Engineering and cross-check those with our release schedule before committing to final dates so we can ensure as many people are there as possible. I can now confirm that our next Ubuntu Developer Summit will take place from *Tues 11th March 2014 - Thurs 13th March 2014*. I wanted to let you all know ASAP so you can get it in your calendars. summit.ubuntu.com is updated and ready to start having sessions added or proposed (http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1403/). This next UDS will look and feel much like the last one; the same tracks and format. The feedback we have received from the last UDS suggests that the changes we made were well received. As ever, your feedback is always welcome. We would like to ask everyone to get their sessions scheduled by *Fri 21st Feb 2014*; this gives potential attendees time to coordinate time away from work to join the sessions. If you want to have a session at UDS, please see http://uds.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/propose-a-session/ for how to propose it. As usual, feel free to ask for help from myself or Michael Hall, David Planella, or Daniel Holbach, Thanks, Jono -- Jono Bacon Ubuntu Community Manager www.ubuntu.com / www.jonobacon.org www.identi.ca/jonobacon www.twitter.com/jonobacon -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
