Announce: Stable Release Update verification policy change
Hello everyone, As part of our continuing improvements to the SRU process, we have decided to require verification-done-RELEASE and verification-failed-RELEASE tags for bug validation instead of their broad versions (i.e. verification-done, verification-failed). This means that for a bug to be considered validated, testers need to tag the bug with a verification-done-RELEASE tag where RELEASE is the stable release name of the upload you have been testing. Same goes for the case of verification failure. This will make the SRU team's job easier as now it will be instantly clear which series have been tested in case of multi-release uploads. It will also be easier for members of the SRU Verification Team to tell which tasks still need testing when looking at or searching for bugs in Launchpad. We have modified all existing verified SRU bugs to follow the recommended notation. The StableReleaseUpdates wiki page has also been modified as per the new guidelines [1]. Please remember that for new bugs the verification-done tag is not enough to mark the package as being good for release. Thanks!

Status of Ubuntu Touch packages removal
Hi all! Is it planned to remove Unity 8 and related packages (such as apps) from Artful, or the plan is to keep them in universe for some more time? We are currently working on updating Qt to 5.9 LTS, and two major things that concern us are: * ubuntu-ui-toolkit; * qtubuntu (the Qt MIR binding). Both of these packages are broken with Qt 5.9, and because they extensively use Qt private API, fixing them may be not easy. ubuntu-ui-toolkit is even in main because it is used by checkbox-converged. It would be really nice to get *at least* qtubuntu removed, if nobody is going to work on it. For ubuntu-ui-toolkit I guess the first step would be demoting it to universe by removing checkbox-converged from desktop (or porting it to some other toolkit like Qt Quick Controls 2). One more thing that concerns us is Oxide, but as I understand it is already getting removed as part of LP: #1688395.
