=== Blueprints: Natty Bug Handling  ===
Nothing new.

=== Blueprints: Enhancements to the firmware test suite  ===
 * Lots of tidying up
 * 0.22.00 now in Natty universe

===  Blueprints: Review of the Stable Maintenance Process (sconklin / bjf) ===
Last week all open fixes for all kernels were verified. This means that we're 
now in the Testing phase of the kernel SRU process. There are two reported 
regressions in Maverick which are being investigated. They are:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/722747

Lucid and Maverick will receive testing from Certification and QA. We need 
testing from users for all other kernels, to at least insure that they boot and 
run. If you boot any of these kernels, please update the tracking bug for that 
kernel with the results.

The Kernel Team's SRU report has moved out to a more publicly accessible 
location: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/reports/sru-report.html


=== Status: Cert. Team   ===
We will be starting testing this week (tomorrow) the kernels for Maverick and 
Lucid.  We will finish and report back before March 1st

=== Status: Ecryptfs  ===
 * took a bit of a detour last week with tyler exploring compression of 
filenames
 * still waiting on full review
BR

Question: We've definitely decided to postpoone long file names until after 
11.04 ?
BR
Answer: I believe so, dustin thinks its the way to go too

=== Status: Natty  ===
The natty kernel is now at v2.6.38-4.31 (v2.6.38-rc5 based).  We have just rebased to v2.6.38-rc6 and uploaded, this should be in the archive before feature freeze. Overall we have most of our development out of the way, with just the ecryptfs long 
filename work ongoing.  We are currently concentrating on bug squashing for Natty.

=== Blueprints: Natty Bug Handling  ===
Nothing to report

=== Blueprints: Enhancements to the firmware test suite  ===
Changes to fwts (natty development branch):
 * Fix DMAR test: double free error.
 * Tests: smbios, virt, crs, apicinstance - mark tests status correctly.
 * Restructure arg handing - more generic modular and extensible.
 * add --s3-device-check, --s4-device-check options.
 * add --s3-quirks, --s4-quirks options.
 * add --s3-device-check-delay, --s4-device-check-delay options.
 * improve s3,s4 args value range checking.
 * improved progress feedback, s3, s4 tests.
 * s3, s4 tests: add device checking pre/post each cycle.

===  Blueprints: Review of the Stable Maintenance Process ===
New kernels packages were build and uploaded last week for all supported 
series. These have been copied to the -proposed and the verification phase has 
begun. Verification tags should all be in place today.


=== Status: Cert. Team   ===
We will start next week with a new cycle of SRU testing for Maverick and Lucid, 
as soon as the validation phase is finished.
Going forward, if that's possible, we would appreciate if you could subscribe 
the Hardware Certification team to the tracking bugs that we need to test 
(Lucid and Maverick kernels, non EC2 kernels). Thanks!

=== Status: Ecryptfs  ===
 * Some minor improvements to the base code have been made
 * The longname in header version isn't stable yet as it ate my data last night 
:(
 * Still waiting on upstream review
 * the on disk format can not be considered stable as it may change based on 
upstream review
 * starting to get wider testing, with latest built kernel attached to bug
 * setting up ppa to facilitate even wider testing, though I am still worried 
about this being used by people who aren't aware of potential breakage
 * userspace tools updates to make configuration by users feasible yet to be 
done (kirkland has volunteered)

=== Status: Natty  ===
The natty kernel is now at v2.6.38-3.30 (v2.6.38-rc4 based).  We are expecting v2.6.38-rc5 to release imminently and we plan on uploading as soon as that is available.  Overall we have most of our development out of the way, with just the ecryptfs long 
filename work ongoing.  It looks like the v2.6.38 final will drop arround A3 so we should have a good period before final release.
