12.04.2 Point Release Delay
Ubuntu 12.04.2 is currently scheduled to be released on Jan 31st [0]. This is the first time we have shipped a backported Hardware Enablement stack in a LTS release, comprised of a new kernel and graphics subsystem. At this time we feel it is better to delay the release by two weeks to allow time for extra QA testing. This would put the new release date on 14 Feb 2013. No other dates would change (i.e. freezes etc.), we are just using the extra two weeks for testing and possible bug fixing for identified issues. The QA Test Plan will be to have the Community Team conduct extensive manual testing with the Ubuntu Testing Community. In addition, the Canonical QA team Certification teams will be running further automated testing to ensure that the 12.04.2 point release is of superior quality. Provided there are no major objections I will update the Release Schedule [0] before the end of today.

UDS sessions to follow up on discussions from ubuntu-devel
Ubuntu Developers, There were a couple of proposals on ubuntu-devel during the Quantal cycle that generated a lot of good discussion but didn't reach a firm conclusion at the time. Now that the Quantal release is out the door, its time that we turn our attention to them again. As such several blueprints were created that cover these topics and there will be sessions at UDS. Listed below are the sessions to discuss the following topics: * App Developer Upload Process: - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/appdev-r-app-upload-process-feedback - http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-r/meeting/21213/the-new-ubuntu-app-developer-upload-process/ * Releases without milestone freezes: - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-r-schedule * Enabling flavor empowerment: - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-r-empowered-flavors If you are interested in these topics, we welcome your participation in the UDS sessions, either in person or remotely Thanks ~pete (for Pete Steve Langasek) -- Pete Graner - Release Engineering QA Team Manager - pgra...@canonical.com Canonical Ltd. - http://www.canonical.com/ -- ubuntu-devel-announce mailing list ubuntu-devel-announce@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-announce
Re: Releasing Alphas and Betas without freezing

All told, I think there are four points under discussion. I'd like to tease them out so we can move forward. Question 1: shall we stop freezing the archive at milestones? I believe there is not 100% consensus on this point, but enough support to try it for Alpha 2, a la Theirry's suggestion. QA Team/Foundations Team, do we/will we have the tools in place for Alpha 2? Question 2: shall we stop having milestones altogether? This question arose in thread. I don't believe there is consensus for doing this suddenly in 12.10. Question 3: shall we increase the rate of manual testing? This question also arose in the thread. I think there is widespread consensus that we should do this, and it is not actually related to the other questions. Community Team, is it feasible to increase the rate of full manual testing runs to every 2 weeks or similar? Question 4: shall we keep snapshots of the development release so that we can bisect more easily and find when bugs were introduced? This question also arose, and also is not tied to the other questions. QA Team, is it feasible to keep a set of snap shots somewhere for this purpose? Yes. I spoke to Canonical IS yesterday and we have the space to keep 1 or 2 of the testing snapshots around. There will be some work on the cdimage tooling to allow them to stay around and I'll coordinate with the proper people to make that happen.

We are currently using the bootchart package to collect the boot speed results. Those results can be reviewed from the Boot Speed Report. [1] The results you see are still in progress, but its a good idea of where we're heading. The Dell and Samsung are the most up-to-date. Great! Thanks for getting these published. Are there plans to add other workloads? I would be very curious to see things like kernel build times, iobench, apache static and dynamic page serving latency, and power consumption for idle, dvd, audio, etc. Thanks! -Kees Hi Kees, In the near term future you have boot speed and we will be doing power testing as well via a high end Fluke Network meter. That power bits are still a work in progress but we should have something up in the next few weeks. cking is the guy to talk to. As far as benchmarking, load stress tests, they are on the long term roadmap for QA but not for this cycle. Hope that helps. ~pete -- Pete Graner - Ubuntu Kernel QA Team Manager - pgra...@canonical.com Canonical Ltd. - http://www.canonical.com/ -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel

Do we have a facility to test workingness? My computer doesn't register the PCI bus because of a race condition in newer kernels and it'd be nice to know if I test daily ISOs so it can report the continued problem? Martin, Yes (however I'll caveat this due to your case). We do daily ISO testing. These test the ISO to ensure it boots and comes up to a desktop. If its broke the ISO is rejected the issue fixed or reverted and then its respun and the process is repeated. This is done virtualized, however boot speed testing also validates the virtualized testing buy doing it on a limited set of bare metal. So that brings us to your specific case. This is something that the kernel team needs to have brought to their attention, its most likely hw specific since its not been seen in the dailies. We'll need a bug filed subscribe Joe Salisbury (cc'd) and drop him a quick email letting him know so he can get it in front of a kernel dev so we can figure out how this has escaped testing.

A3 Test Bugs
Hello Everyone, The Ubuntu QA team has identified the following bugs from the A3 testing. The expectation is that the bugs will reviewed by the proper team and worked as appropriate. We have broken the the bugs down by team for clarity. If we have miscategorized any packages please notify me and I will contact the appropriate team.

Is there a reason for that and/or are there any plans to upgrade the library later on? Previous versions of Ubuntu had glibc package available which is not available with 10.04.

I've been attending several distros users meeting this last year, and had my last one at OpenSuse ENOS08 [1]. In every meeting I go, I keep hearing that Ubuntu/Canonical does not help the GNU/Linux ecosystem by providing patchs. Me, and other Ubunteros present, always try to show that that is not true, and show them several examples of what is being done. Just this week, I emailed OpenSuse-pt users list showing an kernel patch example and a possible reason for why they dont see many Ubuntu entries: lots of the Core DEVs use their employer's email, Canonical. Then a user replied back with [2]. As I was reading I noticed the ironic way the writer was using, and I would like to know if this is FUD, or if actually Ubuntu/Canonical FOSS ecosystem is as small as those numbers show.
