Re: Further reducing my involvement with Ubuntu
Yep, My original e-mail included a link to the bzr repo for the code. I suspect that part of moving it to a new home will include converting that to git and writing down more up to date instructions on how to install and run it.

Further reducing my involvement with Ubuntu
Hello, Following some recent interactions[1] which have made me question my trust in the Ubuntu Community, I have made the decision to further cut back my involvement with the Ubuntu project. In the case of the Ubuntu Release team, this specifically relates to the operation of the IRC bot "queuebot". I've been operating and occasionally tweaking and fixing that IRC bot for over a decade (since 2012) and it's been running on my own infrastructure ever since. You'll find the current (rather ugly python) code here: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-archive/queuebot/queuebot I'd like to turn the lights off on my side by the end of March. Should someone want to take over hosting and operating it, please let me know and we'll organize the transfer of the production configuration to minimize the downtime for its users. It's currently running in an Ubuntu 20.04 container and needs around 500MB of RAM to keep track of all the various packages. If nobody steps in, then I'll just turn it off at the end of March assuming that it's no longer a useful service to the Ubuntu community. Thanks!

Stepping down from Archive, Release and SRU teams
Hello, As mentioned in my blog post from earlier today (https://stgraber.org/2023/07/10/time-to-move-on/), Friday 7th of July was my last day at Canonical. While my involvement in Ubuntu far predates me joining Canonical, my day to day involvement with the project has changed quite a bit over the years. I joined the release team, cdimage team, archive team and SRU teams as part of my work in the foundations team quite a few years ago and continued to help out here and there afterwards. The reality is that over the past few years, I would only spend a few hours per cycle reviewing some packages in the queue or letting an SRU through when someone would directly nag me. I held on to those privileges until now because I have a tendency to keep a very close high on IRC even over the weekends, which meant that I would often be around whenever some kind of emergency would arise. This combined with the added access provided to those who also happen to be Canonical employees meant that while not an active member, I would have been able to quickly revert or fix an issue in an emergency. Now that I have left Canonical, this doesn't really apply anymore and I don't see myself committing more time towards those teams than I have been able to in recent years. As a result, I'm stepping down from those teams and have already updated Launchpad accordingly. I'm still going to be on IRC and will remain an Ubuntu Core Developer, so should I be of any assistance, please let me know!

The Supported: field logic actually got updated on release week for 16.04, so it's absolutely meant to be meaningful. The code for that logic can be found at: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-archive/ubuntu-archive-publishing/trunk/view/head:/scripts/maintenance-check.py If the logic doesn't match reality, then someone should send a branch to fix the logic. Note that it's long been the case that the fact that a package is in main or in universe doesn't necessarily indicate support length. We have plenty of packages in universe with support for 3 years or 5 years during LTS cycles and there are a number of packages that are in main but aren't part of a product and so aren't supported past the 9 months mark. -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com signature.asc Description: PGP signature -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release

Hello, The request for MATE to be a 3 years LTS reminded us that we need to know what flavors will be LTS and how long they intend to support it.

Edubuntu 16.04 and beyond
Hello, I'm sending this e-mail on behalf of the current Edubuntu project leaders, Jonathan Carter and myself. Jonathan and I have both been involved in Edubuntu for a long time (almost 10 years for Jonathan and almost 9 for me). We were at first just contributors, then became council members and after the council got disolved due to lack of candidates, as the two project leaders. A lot changes in that many years and while at the start we both had a considerable amount of spare time to invest in making Edubuntu great, even getting paid for it at times, that is simply not the case anymore. We've both moved on to new projects, with the hope that we would one day find some time to work on Edubuntu again. That's why we decided to make Edubuntu LTS-only after the 14.04 release, hoping that over the course of two years we would find the needed time to make a good Edubuntu 16.04 LTS. This plan didn't quite work out as we're now a month away from the 16.04 release with little to no work having been done on Edubuntu. We could of course patch things up a bit, drop the things that don't work and call it good enough. But we don't think that would be fair to our users who are expecting a well thought through distribution where all details have been taken care of. That's why I'm announcing today that Edubuntu will NOT be releasing a 16.04 LTS version. Instead, Jonathan and I will focus on ongoing support of Edubuntu 14.04 LTS until it goes EOL in April 2019. That's not to say that Edubuntu is dead, at least not yet. While Jonathan and I will solely focus on fulfilling our promise of support for Edubuntu 14.04 LTS, new contributors are absolutely welcome to take over the Edubuntu project and shape it to their liking. The two of us will be happy to sponsor any Edubuntu related uploads, will help new contributors get Edubuntu membership and then hold elections to setup a new Edubuntu Council which would finally take the whole project over from us. Should none of that happen by the time Ubuntu 17.10 is released, Jonathan and I will ask the Technical Board to revoke Edubuntu as an official flavour and will be removing any leftover packages from the archive, remove our seeds and any cdimage build integration, effectively removing Edubuntu from the Ubuntu release process. While a bit late as far as announcing this, I think our plan fulfills the "Step down considerately" clause of the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, allowing for new contributors to pick things where we left them or to come up with a completely new vision if they prefer. It's been a fun ride for the two of us and we very much hope that this won't be the end of Edubuntu but instead a new beginning for this great Ubuntu flavour!

Hello everyone, So as of a bit over an hour ago, we've entered the Final Freeze in preparation for the release of Ubuntu 15.04. As usual, this means that you should refrain from uploading any seeded package which doesn't contain a release critical fix. If you're unsure about whether you should be uploading a package or not, please get in touch with the release team in #ubuntu-release. Unseeded packages will still get auto-accepted until the bot is turned off shortly before release. As for images, we're expecting the first run of candidate images to happen late tomorrow before most of us leave for a weekend of travel.

This time around, the paperwork (release notes, announcement, ...) is handled by Jonathan Riddell so please get in touch with him directly for anything related to the usual release paperwork. Also, I'll be around all day tomorrow but I'm off on Wednesday. I expect to have any QA tracker integration problems resolved tomorrow (the first milestone can be a bit rough) so that on Wednesday you can do everything by yourself as usual.

ECDSA SSH keys support in Launchpad is a whole different topic. We've had support for ECDSA keys in sshd since at least 12.04 so I think it can be considered widely available. The problem however is that Launchpad uses twisted's implementation of SSH which currently only supports RSA and DSA. For GPG ECC key, I think we should definitely keep an eye on it and when GPG 2.1 lands in the distro, make sure that the various tools work properly with them. Then once our infrastructure is on a LTS version with GPG 2.1 support (likely 16.04) we should definitely start allowing those in Launchpad and probably update our documentation to recommend them. As for the original post, I agree that we should be rejecting DSA GPG keys entirely and any RSA key which is < 2048bit. The TB only really has control over Ubuntu so I don't think that call is up to us, but I'd certainly be happy to see Launchpad enforce the same thing for PPAs. For the timeline, as was said before, we can do all this pretty quickly, the Launchpad code changes being our bottleneck here. I think we should absolutely have this done before the 15.04 release and hopefully quite a bit before that. -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release
Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) beta-1 released!
The first beta of the Utopic Unicorn (to become 14.10) has now been released! This beta features images for Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, UbuntuKylin, Xubuntu and the Ubuntu Cloud images. Pre-releases of the Utopic Unicorn are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu flavor developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting and fixing bugs as we work towards getting this release ready. Beta 1 includes a number of software updates that are ready for wider testing. This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs. While these Beta 1 images have been tested and work, except as noted in the release notes, Ubuntu developers are continuing to improve the Utopic Unicorn. In particular, once newer daily images are available, system installation bugs identified in the Beta 1 installer should be verified against the current daily image before being reported in Launchpad. Using an obsolete image to re-report bugs that have already been fixed wastes your time and the time of developers who are busy trying to make 14.10 the best Ubuntu release yet. Always ensure your system is up to date before reporting bugs. Kubuntu Kubuntu is the KDE based flavour of Ubuntu. It uses the Plasma desktop and includes a wide selection of tools from the KDE project. Kubuntu development is now focussing on the next generation of KDE Software, Plasma 5. This is not yet stable enough for everyday use, so our default option is the trusted Plasma 4 desktop. A tech preview of Plasma 5 is available for those who want to try out the future. The Beta-1 images can be downloaded at: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/utopic/beta-1/ http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-plasma5/releases/utopic/beta-1/ More information on Kubuntu Beta-1 can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/Beta1/Kubuntu Lubuntu Lubuntu is a flavor of Ubuntu based on LXDE and focused on providing a very lightweight distribution.

Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) beta-1 released!
The first beta of the Utopic Unicorn (to become 14.10) has now been released! This beta features images for Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, UbuntuKylin, Xubuntu and the Ubuntu Cloud images. Pre-releases of the Utopic Unicorn are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu flavor developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting and fixing bugs as we work towards getting this release ready. Beta 1 includes a number of software updates that are ready for wider testing. This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs. While these Beta 1 images have been tested and work, except as noted in the release notes, Ubuntu developers are continuing to improve the Utopic Unicorn. In particular, once newer daily images are available, system installation bugs identified in the Beta 1 installer should be verified against the current daily image before being reported in Launchpad. Using an obsolete image to re-report bugs that have already been fixed wastes your time and the time of developers who are busy trying to make 14.10 the best Ubuntu release yet. Always ensure your system is up to date before reporting bugs. Kubuntu Kubuntu is the KDE based flavour of Ubuntu. It uses the Plasma desktop and includes a wide selection of tools from the KDE project. Kubuntu development is now focussing on the next generation of KDE Software, Plasma 5. This is not yet stable enough for everyday use, so our default option is the trusted Plasma 4 desktop. A tech preview of Plasma 5 is available for those who want to try out the future.

Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Hey everyone, Just a reminder that 12.04.5 is due out this Thursday. I'm now setting up the iso tracker for the flavours which participated in 12.04.4 (copying the manifest from there) and will kick a batch of builds before turning off cron. Please spend some time to test them all and report any critical issue you encounter. Hopefully everything will go smoothly for this last point release of the 12.04 cycle. Oh and please keep in mind that the biggest change between 12.04.4 and 12.04.5 is the kernel and Xorg enablement stack which is now that of 14.04, please make sure the right packages are installed and that things appear to be working as expected.

I've turned off all the relevant cron jobs and I'll setup the archive block later today. Please let me know if I forgot anyone. To get your first alpha-1 build to show on the tracker, just go trigger a rebuild in the daily milestone, the resulting images will automatically get picked up and published in the alpha-1 milestone.

Participation in 14.10 alpha-1 (due out this Thursday)
Hey flavour leads, 14.10 Alpha 1 is due out on the 26th of June which happens to be this Thursday. I'll be taking care of the cdimage side for you this time around so it'd be great if participating flavours could reply to this e-mail to let me know who they are. As usual, I'll setup a temporary britney block for the affected packages and I'll take care of the final publishing on Thursday. I'm also on point for the release announcement though I'd gladly give that to anyone who's interested as my own flavour (Edubuntu) will not be participating in this milestone as we are now a LTS-only flavour and so while we do make sure our stuff still works, we won't be participating in any milestones until 16.04 alpha-1. Timing wise, I'm planning to setup the migration block by 21:00 UTC on Tuesday, I'd appreciate if flavours could get in touch by tomorrow 21:00 UTC so I can make sure all the affected cron entries are disabled and that the ISO tracker is ready for you to trigger your builds.

Automatic accept of unseeded and touch packages
Hey everyone, As I suspect not everyone is reading the whole #ubuntu-release backlog everyday, I figure it may be a good idea to also announce the auto-accept mechanism I've put in place yesterday on this list. Basically after the Final Beta got released, the archive was frozen and won't be unfrozen until 13.10 is out. This means any upload needs to be reviewed and accepted by an ubuntu-release team member. Unseeded packages are usually simply waived through as they're not affecting any of our images. To make this easier, I've written a small script that processes the queue every minute and for each entry checks if the package is in a packageset or is seeded, if the package is neither, then it's automatically accepted. One extra rule is that if a package is seeded but the only image it's affecting is ubuntu-touch, then it's also automatically accepted as those usually are covered by the Ubuntu Touch FFe and are blocked by britney for manual approval by the touch release team. The list of all auto-accepted packages is logged so should there be any concern, it's easy to check whether the script was responsible for the accept or an actual release team member was. If you have any question or concern about what that script does, please let me know! -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release

The problem is that this added dependency also brings 10 extra packages to the Ubuntu Desktop installation, most if not all of those packages are supposed to be touch-specific and as such benefit from the generic touch FFe that was granted earlier on. The condition for that FFe was that touch-specific packages would be exempt from the FeatureFreeze so long as they're only seeded on touch. Your change essentially got: - apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu - click - click-apparmor - libupstart-app-launch1 - liburl-dispatcher1 - python3-apparmor-click - python3-click - upstart-app-launch - upstart-app-launch-tools - url-dispatcher Seeded in Ubuntu Desktop, making them no longer touch-specific and so requiring each of those to respect the FeatureFreeze. As I doubt this was your intend with that upload (looked to me like you just wanted a working "Battery Settings" menu item), I thought it'd be reasonable to revert this one for now until you can find a way to make the indicator work without seeding a bunch of touch-specific packages onto everyone's machine. If you indeed intended for all of the above packages to be installed on everyone's machine by default, then I'd recommend you file an FFe for this change and warn all of the affected developers that they'll now be subject to FeatureFreeze.

Hi Ara, The filesystem tree on nusakan looks good, all the 12.04.2 images are where they should be, yet that's not the case on the public mirror. I re-triggered a sync by hand but that didn't appear to help and the output from sync-old-releases seems to indicate some problem with the SSH trigger.

For those participating, there are just a couple of things I'd like to mention. First of all, it appears that tomorrow is a public holiday here, so while I'll probably be around most of the day anyway, please don't hesitate to poke someone else in #ubuntu-release if I'm not responding. Also, we've recently added the ability to request respins directly from the ISO tracker. This requires specific product ACLs which I've been setting up for all the flavours that asked for it. It's the case for both Kubuntu and UbuntuKylin but if that doesn't work for some reason, please get in touch with me ASAP. Full integration of the respins isn't quite done yet due to other things showing up on my todolist at the last minute last week so I'll try to get the remaining bits ready as soon as I can. The first few runs will likely be semi-automated, so you'll have to request the respin in the web interface, then either wait for me to notice and process it or poke me on IRC to act on it. Hopefully this will just be the case for the first few respin requests, then I'll get something scripted to go look at the pending list every 5 minutes or so and do the triggering for me. Oh and please let me know on IRC when you want me to turn off the cronjobs for your products, I don't think we have a good reason to turn them all off at an arbitrary time as was sometimes done in the past, so just ping me when you're ready. -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release
Archive freeze for 13.04
Hello, We're now approaching the final beta for the 13.04 release and so now is around the time where we should think about freezing the archive. In the past, we've usually started freezing with the second beta and then kept everything frozen till release. Now with the migration blocks that can be put in place in britney, it's my opinion that we don't need to freeze the whole archive nearly that early and so can save some time to the release team by not having nearly as much to review as usual. My proposal would therefore be to keep the archive unfrozen with a transition block in place for beta2 effective this Thursday at 21:00 UTC, then remove the block next Thursday once beta2 is out and do a full archive freeze the Thursday after that (11th) at the same time as the KernelFreeze and NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline. So the timeline would look like: - 28th 21:00 UTC: FinalBetaFreeze, britney beta-2 block in place - 4th: Release of Beta-2, revert of the britney beta-2 block - 4th 21:00 UTC: DocumentationStringFreeze - 11th 21:00 UTC: KernelFreeze, NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline and full archive freeze. Once in full archive freeze, the release team will carry the usual package reviews as things land in the queue, unseeded packages will be let through until we hit the unseeded packages freeze (do we have dates yet?). How does that proposal sound to the rest of the release team? Do you think this is the right ratio between release team work and archive stability?

The problem is with people who already upgraded to it as it's been reported to causing breaks of at least lintian4python. Once we're sure the package is completely gone from the extras.ubuntu.com mirrors, we should issue an e-mail to ubuntu-devel-announce (at Scott's suggestion), telling people to "downgrade" to the archive version using "apt-get install lintian/quantal-updates". We'll also need to ensure that raring will have an higher version number by release time. The version uploaded to extras was: 2.5.11ubuntu12.10.1 The version currently in quantal-updates: 2.5.10.2ubuntu2.1 The version currently in raring: 2.5.10.2ubuntu3 The version currently in raring-proposed: 2.5.11ubuntu1 Because of the version number, we'll need to upload something to raring that's >= 2.5.11ubuntu12 or we won't have a clean upgrade path from 12.10 to 13.04. > On 12/28/2012 09:37 AM, Scott Kitterman wrote: >> The existence of >> http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/lintian/lintian_2.5.11ubuntu12.10.1.dsc >> >> was recently mentioned #ubuntu-devel.

I've removed the lintian package from the ARB PPA and that removal should be propagated to the extras archive in the next hour or so.

Release tasks for Raring
Hello everyone, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/ReleaseTaskSignup is pretty desperately empty at the moment, so it'd be great if some of the release team members and cdimage team members could sign-up for the upcoming milestones. Just a brief description of what the various roles are: - Image (Nusakan) Engineering For ubuntu-cdimage members only, that's the usual building and publishing of images on nusakan. - Checklist Tracking Following up on the release checklist, making sure all of the things listed on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MilestoneProcess are done in time. - Release Notes / Announce Making sure that all of the wiki pages are there, that things look good, has been reviewed and is consistent. Also includes, writing and publishing the announcement (e-mail and release team blog). - QA contact Contact person between the QA team and the release team, usually a QA team member. For milestones where only community flavours are participating, the product leads usually assume most of the Release Notes and QA contact role. 90% of the checklist can also be skipped for those. Considering how easy it was to get alpha-1 out of the door, I'm happy to sign up for one of the more complex milestones (beta or final). -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release

That and there's the fact that I'll be running alpha-1 so won't have much time to spend testing or documenting Edubuntu's alpha-1.

First opt-in alpha release for Raring
Hello everyone, According to the ReleaseSchedule, next week is alpha-1 for those flavours that want to participate in it. I'll be the point of contact for this release, so if you have any question, feel free to contact me (here or in #ubuntu-release). The first thing we need to figure out is who exactly is participating in this release. The Canonical supported flavours (Ubuntu Desktop/Server/Cloud/Netboot/...) won't be participating in this milestone as they're instead doing their cadence testing and cut down the number of milestone releases for this cycle. So if you are a product lead please reply to this e-mail by Monday 21:00 UTC with whether you'll be participating or not, what products and architectures you plan on releasing and who will be your release contact(s) for this milestone. I'll be assuming that any product that doesn't ask for an alpha-1 by then won't be participating. For those products that are participating, daily builds will be turned off at 21:00 UTC on Monday and a set of candidates built shortly after that. There won't be any archive freeze for this milestone, however, if you have particular concern about specific source packages, get in touch in #ubuntu-release and we may hold those in -proposed for the duration of the milestone process. I'll be following the process at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MilestoneProcess Making necessary adjustments as we go, considering that it's the first time Ubuntu itself isn't part of a milestone. Participating flavours will be responsible to write their own Technical Overview and Release Notes and provide me with links by 21:00 UTC on Wednesday so they can be added to the announcement. As discussed at UDS, a release announcement will be sent by the release team to the usual places with one paragraph per flavour, the links to the various technical overviews and release notes pages and a section explaining the change in milestones for the Canonical-supported products. -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release

Minutes from the 12.04.1 team meeting (Thursday 2nd of August)
The seventh 12.04.1 team meeting took place at 14:00 UTC on Thursday the 2nd of August 2012. == Attendees == * arges * Daviey * jibel * NCommander * seb128 * skaet * smartboyhw * smoser * stgraber (chair) == Notes == === Deadlines === The upcoming deadlines are: * last Thursday 21:00 UTC: Beginning of PointReleaseProcess and DesktopInfrastructureFreeze * 2012/08/09: KernelFreeze, LanguageTranslationDeadline, SRU Fix Validation Testing * 2012/08/16: FinalFreeze, ReleaseNoteFreeze * 2012/08/23: Ubuntu 12.04.1 === Bugs === The number of targeted bugs went from 106 last week to 75! Of these 75, 32 are in fix commited state (likely waiting in -proposed) and 9 are marked "in progress" (waiting to be approved). So that's 34 bugs that still need fixing of which 12 aren't assigned to somebody. The full list of bugs can be found at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+bugs?field.milestone%3Alist=49926 The list of remaining bugs to fix can be found at: http://goo.gl/RUiZe Some of these aren't assigned to someone yet: http://goo.gl/22zV2 Bugs that haven't been directly discussed and agreed on with the release team will be moved to 12.04.2 at this point. If a fix that's not in -proposed or in the queue at this point, needs to get in 12.04.1, please get in touch with seb128, skaet or stgraber. (By e-mail or #ubuntu-release on IRC). === Oversizedness === A live-build fix is currently in precise-proposed and needs testing on the builders. This should help reduce by around 2MB the size of the live medias, though up to 7MB may still need freeing. Work on this will continue this week. == Team status updates == - Server: Still no clear plan for MaaS, might see something landing this week (will required exception). - Desktop: Mostly done for .1, some bugs didn't make it but that's not the end of the world and these weren't important for the iso. nux and some other updates are still in the queue. Unity update was delayed as considered too risky for .1. The desktop team would like to see whoopsie turned off, a conversation will be started on the release mailing list. - QA: Found bug 1029531, continued doing SRU verification, found a problem with wubi image generation overwriting the quanal ones. Been sprinting all week. - PES: highbank enablement landed in -updates, armadaxp is being tested now. - Foundations: Cleaned up the bug list, eglibc update should be uploaded very soon, some verification work, uploaded ubiquity and base-files in preparation for .1. - Release: tracking the translation work, precise builds are now happening for every image taking part in .1, will now start work on the release notes. - L1: Some more work on the point release bug report. == Actions == * xnox to liase with ballons, gema and jibel w.r.t. fs/storage testing (carried) * Flavor leads participating, please verify that the images are as you expect, and start smoke testing tomorrow to make sure all the right 12.04.1 bits are in place. == Next meeting == Full meeting log is available here: http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-meeting/2012/ubuntu-meeting.2012-08-02-14.02.log.html The next meeting will be on Thursday the 9th of August at 14:00 UTC (#ubuntu-meeting on freenode).

Re: Disabling whoopsie by default in the 12.04.1 release
king for my password and some just showing the apport window. I see a few obvious things that might have already been reported as bugs and that if we want to keep whoopsie enabled for 12.04, we should probably fix (with any needed post-release UIFe be granted by the release team if needed): - Either support easy bulk reporting of crashes by showing a single window to the user OR flush /var/crash at boot time to workaround the problem. - Fix the authentication code so I don't need to enter my password every single time a system service explodes, using the same delay as sudo would be reasonable I guess. On top of that, though likely more for 12.10 than 12.04, I think we might benefit from a few tweaks into the way whoopsie/apport work: - Add a link from the crash dialog to the whoopsie settings in g-c-c, so the user can easily turn it off or change the settings. - Add a mode where the user is never prompted on crashes but can choose to start apport when they want to look at all the crashes and send them at that time (with the same bulk submission UI I mentioned earlier). - Add a setting to always silently report crashes to whoopsie. This mode would be bad from a security point of view and I'm sure a lot of our users wouldn't want that, but some may still use that rather than turning whoopsie off completely. I realize now isn't the perfect time to discuss fairly intrusive behaviour and UI changes and that bugs during the past cycle or UDS sessions would been more appropriate, though sadly I only started noticing these post-release when I stopped rebooting my 12.04 systems every couple of days and started using it as "production" systems. -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release

This is required to ensure buildability of the archive after moving the libraries and other files to the multi-arch path. It sounds like the uploading for this package went a bit out of sync with the bug report as I don't see any reply to Chris' comment (#8) asking for the rebuild results. -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release
Minutes from the 12.04.1 team meeting (Thursday 26th of July)
The sixth 12.04.1 team meeting took place at 14:00 UTC on Thursday the 26th of July 2012. == Attendees == * arges * jibel_ * NCommander * seb128 * skaet * smoser * stgraber (chair) == Notes == === Deadlines === The upcoming deadlines are: * 2012/08/02: Beginning of PointReleaseProcess and DesktopInfrastructureFreeze * 2012/08/09: KernelFreeze, LanguageTranslationDeadline, SRU Fix Validation Testing * 2012/08/16: FinalFreeze, ReleaseNoteFreeze * 2012/08/23: Ubuntu 12.04.1 === Bugs === The number of targeted bugs went from 120 last week to 106. Of these 106, 45 are in fix commited state (likely waiting in -proposed) and 14 are marked "in progress" (waiting to be approved). So that's 47 bugs that still need fixing of which 19 aren't assigned to somebody. The full list of bugs can be found at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+bugs?field.milestone%3Alist=49926 The list of remaining bugs to fix can be found at: http://goo.gl/RUiZe Some of these aren't assigned to someone yet: http://goo.gl/22zV2 xnox offered to help arges and stokachu with the required rdepends rebuild for their multiarch packages by using his rebuild scripts on the HP cloud. If someone has fixes that will be uploaded after the deadline and this was agreed with the release team, please let me know, otherwise I'll move all remaining bugs to 12.04.2 on the 2nd of August at 21:00 UTC. === Oversizedness === The daily-live media for all architectures but powerpc are currently oversized, this is at least partly caused by duplicate kernel headers on the media. A fix should be uploaded shortly so we'll know whether further actions are required to get 12.04.1 to fit on the media. == Team status updates == - Foundations: Uploaded a few more bugfixes, cleaned up the bug list, updated statuses, done some verification and reminded people about the deadline. - L3: Worked on point-release dashboard. - Server: Gone through the bug list, not sure what to expect for maas in 12.04.1, some other SRUs going through. - PES: highbank enabled is in -updates and being verified - QA: Doing SRU verification, no regression found so far, problems with alternates and server images not being installable due to kernel mismatch, oem install missing ubiquity. - Desktop: unity SRU is in proposed, compiz should be uploaded soon, some smaller gnome fixes too and that should be it for .1 - Release: Discussed with vanhoof the cedartrail* landing late, looking into a bug with the slideshow on a fresh install, settled with martin and david that david will be doing the translation updates. Doing calculations to add rest of LTS dailies to cron job, will add after A3 publishes. == Actions == * xnox to liase with ballons, gema and jibel w.r.t. fs/storage testing (carried) == Next meeting == Full meeting log is available here: http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-meeting/2012/ubuntu-meeting.2012-07-26-14.01.log.html The next meeting will be on Thursday the 2nd of August at 14:00 UTC (#ubuntu-meeting on freenode).

The list of remaining bugs can be found at: http://goo.gl/RUiZe Some of these aren't assigned to someone yet: http://goo.gl/22zV2 Please make sure to go through these lists with your team and get in touch with the 12.04.1 if you have any question. Quite a few mutliarch bugs haven't attached a rebuild of the rdepends yet. It's getting very late now, so it'd be appreciated if anyone working on these could make that their priority. == Team status updates == * Desktop: SRUs are going at a good pace. Unity will hit the queue today. The second round of unity/compiz SRUs might be delayed to 12.04.2 if it's getting too late. * PES: highbank enablement has been uploaded to -proposed * QA: Investigating bug 1022864. Got one transient failure yesterday on desktop i386. * Server: Still pushing SRUs, deciding what to target to 12.04.1 for maas and juju. Working on getting walinuxagent into precise. Some work on fixing apache/module multiarch. * Foundations: Been doing a bunch of verification, uploaded ubiquity, resolvconf, krb5 and libxslt amongst others. Went through all the bugs, updated the status/priority and gave a bug list at the team meeting. * Release: Discussed translation plans with dpm. Work on the manifest. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseManifest/12.04.1 Daily cron will be set up to reflect the manifest and published at: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/204/builds Will start getting flavours testing their image to reduce the risk of last minute surprises. == Actions == * xnox to liase with ballons, gema and jibel w.r.t. fs/storage testing (carried) == Next meeting == Full meeting log is available here: http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-meeting/2012/ubuntu-meeting.2012-07-19-14.03.log.html The next meeting will be on Thursday the 26th of July at 14:00 UTC (#ubuntu-meeting on freenode).

Minutes from the 12.04.1 team meeting (Thursday 12th of July)
The fourth 12.04.1 team meeting took place at 14:00 UTC on Thursday the 12th of July 2012. *Note: the meetings are now moving to a weekly schedule until the release of 12.04.1 on the 23rd of August* == Attendees == * arges * bdmurray * jamespage * ScottK * seb128 * skaet * smoser * stgraber (chair) * stokachu == Notes == arges worked on a bug report for point releases, it's available at: http://people.canonical.com/~arges/point-release/milestone-12.04.1.html This report isn't currently built automatically and will likely be moved to reports.qa.ubuntu.com in the near future. Quite a few suggestions have been made to improve that report and ensure that all the relevant bugs are on it (quite a few seem to be missing). The upcoming deadlines are: * 2012/08/02: Beginning of PointReleaseProcess and DesktopInfrastructureFreeze * 2012/08/09: KernelFreeze, LanguageTranslationDeadline, SRU Fix Validation Testing * 2012/08/16: FinalFreeze, ReleaseNoteFreeze * 2012/08/23: Ubuntu 12.04.1 There are still quite a few concerns on the length of the Unapproved queue for -proposed, sitting at around 30 packages, representing almost two weeks of backlog. This is making it harder for the team to track exactly what's going on. Bug list went from 106 bugs targeted to 12.04.1 to 112. 26 of these are currently marked fix commited (vs 27 two weeks ago). 50 of the 112 bugs aren't currently assigned to someone. This is quite bad as the number of bug is supposed to go down, not up at this point... All 12.04.1 team members will go through the list to ensure all the bugs are assigned and that any bug that won't make it to 12.04.1 is moved to another milestone. The meeting cadence is also changing from fortnightly to weekly in an effort to keep everyone focused and aware of the state of 12.04.1 in that last month before release. == Team status updates == * L3: Working on multi-arch and the point-release report. * Release: Looking at QA daily testing, will try to get SRUs to land faster. * Desktop: A bit behind on compiz/unity SRUs, Unity should be uploaded next week, compiz was reverted at the last minute and will be pushed again real soon. The team is concerned by the SRU backlog, making it more difficult to track issues on errors.ubuntu.com * Server: Went through the whole list, will follow up on juju and maas to make sure the fixes land on time. http://status.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/kernel-bugs/reports/rls-p-tracking-bugs.html * Foundations: Going through the whole list of bugs, will fix the status/target/importance for any where it's obviously wrong, trying to get things assigned to people. == Actions == * xnox to liase with ballons, gema and jibel w.r.t. fs/storage testing (carried) * stgraber to review and sponsor bug 977947, bug 977952 and bug 977940 * skaet to poke the SRU team and see what can be done to process the current backlog * stgraber to change the meeting to a weekly meeting Full meeting log is available here: http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-meeting/2012/ubuntu-meeting.2012-07-12-14.00.log.html The next meeting will be on Thursday the 19th of July at 14:00 UTC (#ubuntu-meeting on freenode).

That last one is actually a .img to be dded to an sdcard. * A new epoptes release was synced from Debian. * SRUed epoptes, fixing a few bugs and updating translations. * Avogadro was tweaked so that it's installable again, fixing Edubuntu daily builds that had been failing for a few days. * Ongoing work on Edubuntu server, a blog post detailing the work should be published soon. * The new Edubuntu website was published, including our deployments map. http://www.edubuntu.org/deployments === What's about to land that might impact the other teams and release as a whole? === * LTSP is still pending, I'm hoping to find some day this weekend or next to review all the packaging changes that Alkis and Vagrant did, merge all that and upload to Ubuntu. === Summary of bugs working on by team (reasonably reliable) === * Nothing particularly worth mentioning here. === Dependencies on other teams to make deliverables, blocking items, release wide concerns? === * As LXC is shipped by Edubuntu, I'll mention it here, though it could equally be listed as a foundations or server issue. - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/959352 - "Ephemeral containers have "/rootfs" prefix in /proc/self/maps entries" - Was tracked down to be a kernel issue related to aufs/overlayfs causing various software to use the wrong path when loading plugins or other files. Would appreciate if someone from the kernel team could have a look (as both aufs and overlayfs are sauce patches AFAIK). -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release
Minutes from the 12.04.1 team meeting (Thursday 28th of June)
The third 12.04.1 team meeting took place at 14:00 UTC on Thursday the 28th of June 2012. == Attendees == - arges - cjwatson - cyphermox - jibel - ScottK - seb128 - skaet - smoser - stgraber (chair) - stokachu - xnox == Notes == We currently have 106 bugs targeted to 12.04.1. Of these, 27 are currently marked as fix commited, leaving 79 needing fixing. Of these 79, 40 aren't currently assigned to someone. The 12.04.1 team would appreciate if all the teams could review the list at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+bugs?field.milestone%3Alist=49926 And assign the bugs to their team members or get in touch if the fixes won't make it to the point release. It'd be appreciated if any multi-arching change targeted to 12.04.1 could be uploaded ASAP as these will need quite a bit of verification, so now that we are a month away from 12.04.1 freeze, please make sure these get reviewed and uploaded. Some members expressed concerns regarding the processing delays for new SRUs. Since then, Kate has let me know that the SRU team now implemented shifts to help improve that issue. Details can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates The daily images for precise are now build using -proposed, making it easier for people to verify fixes going through the SRU process. These are available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/precise/ (or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com//precise/ for !ubuntu) == Team status updates == - Desktop: Desktop SRUs are going well, compiz, libunity and bamf are now in -proposed. Unity SRU is expected within the next 2 weeks and then potentially another one end of July. - Foundations: doing some more SRU verification, expecting a few network related fixes to go as SRU, mdadm and e2fsprogs have been uploaded. - Kubuntu: KDE for 12.04.1 is currently in -proposed and going through testing. - L3: Working on multi-arch SRUs and some scripts to help tracking 12.04.1. - QA: Automated testing reported one broken OEM installation, caused by livefs/pool mismatch, fixed by Colin last week. Some post-upgrade tests started reporting obsolete config files, might be related to changes in the auto-upgrade-tester, jibel is investigating. - Release: Going through bugs and adding some more to the 12.04.1 list, based on fixes hitting quantal. Started discussing the schedule for 12.04.2. - Server: Quite a lot of bugs to fix, Scott will spend some time making sure the team is making progress on these. == Actions == - arges: to work on a 12.04.1 bug report, showing targeted bugs and information on status in development release, patches attached and branches linked - xnox: to liase with ballons, gema and jibel w.r.t. fs/storage testing (blocked on UTAH) Full meeting log is available here: http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-meeting/2012/ubuntu-meeting.2012-06-28-14.00.log.html The next meeting will be on Thursday the 12th of July at 14:00 UTC (#ubuntu-meeting on freenode).

[Edubuntu] Release Meeting 2012-06-22
=== What was done engineering wise? === * Started doing some more work on the armhf build, to the point where we successfully built test images. We're however unlikely to release these as part of alpha-2 as they're currently built for omap4 which isn't our target platform (just what I happen to have around for testing). * A new ldm was synced from Debian. * Epoptes was tweaked to install on armhf. * Got an LTSP SRU into -updates. === What's about to land that might impact the other teams and release as a whole? === * LTSP is still pending, I'm hoping to find some day this weekend or next to review all the packaging changes that Alkis and Vagrant did, merge all that and upload to Ubuntu. === Summary of bugs working on by team (reasonably reliable) === * Nothing particularly worth mentioning here. === Dependencies on other teams to make deliverables, blocking items, release wide concerns? === * None. -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release
Minutes from the 12.04.1 team meeting (Thursday 14th of June)
The second 12.04.1 team meeting took place at 14:00 UTC on Thursday the 14th of June 2012. Attendees: - arges - jamespage - jibel - seb128 - skaet - stgraber (chair) - stokachu - xnox Notes: - The L3 team is busy working on multiarching a set of desktop libraries, all of these are now targeted to precise and milestoned for 12.04.1. Most of them should make it for 12.04.1, 3 of these may get postponed. Full 12.04.1 bug list can be found at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+bugs?field.milestone%3Alist=49926 - We briefly discussed having a custom report for 12.04.1 showing us bugs that have patches/branches linked to them and are fixed in the dev release as these are easy SRU target. arges will be working on that. Team status updates: - L3/SEG are working on getting a list of needed SRUs and are actively working on the multi-arch SRUs. - QA: Running image and upgrade testing, investigating a universe upgrade failure. - Desktop: Pushed gnome updates and working on desktop SRUs. - Server: Worked on their SRU report, added 12.04.1 to the server team meeting agenda, working on the openstack SRUs and other server related SRUs. - Foundations: Investigating what filesystem related packages should be SRUed, will likely be a mix of SRUs and backports. Also been helping getting the number of SRUs pending verification down by doing regular testing of >7 days packages. - Release manager: Grouped all the 12.04.1 blueprint together (http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-quantal/group/topic-quantal-release-sru-and-12.04.1.html), working on improving SRU workflow. Actions: - arges: to work on a 12.04.1 bug report, showing targeted bugs and information on status in development release, patches attached and branches linked - xnox: to liase with ballons, gema and jibel w.r.t. fs/storage testing Full meeting logs are available here: http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-meeting/2012/ubuntu-meeting.2012-06-14-14.00.log.html The next meeting will be on Thursday the 28th of June at 14:00 UTC (#ubuntu-meeting on freenode). -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release

Ubuntu 12.04.1 team announcement and initial meeting notes
Hello, In preparation for the Ubuntu 12.04.1 point release, to be released on the 23rd of August, we've created a "virtual" team made of members from the various engineering team that's dedicated to tracking down the bugs and crashes that we want to see fixed for 12.04.1. I wrote a wiki page describing who's currently involved in that team and what we're currently looking at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/12.04.1 The team is meeting every two weeks on the Thursday at 14:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting Outside of these scheduled meetings, most of the communication will be done on the ubuntu-release mailing-list. --- The first meeting was earlier today and was mostly about seeing who's involved, discussing some bugs and figuring out the structure for our next meetings. Attendees: - jamespage - NCommander - ScottK - skaet - smoser - stgraber (chair) - stokachu - xnox Meeting notes can be found at: http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-meeting/2012/ubuntu-meeting.2012-05-31-14.01.html The next meeting will be on the 14th of June at 14:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting on freenode. -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release

It looks like the server is getting respawned every half hour or so and when that happens all SSO sessions are lost. So everytime I get disconnected I have to type the URL again as a simple refresh will give you a 404, then accept the SSO login and finally get the document working again. I guess we didn't see that problem so much at UDS where we're used to one hour sessions with wireless disconnecting relatively frequently when moving between sessions, but for a day-to-day tool, it's certainly annoying and I think an RT ticket to investigate and fix that would make sense. - -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJPgv/ZAAoJEMY4l01keS1noYAP/jSsSoCdh1TjP/cfnBXb9kR9 2y4PkqV6NiPw78jiBv4+Jsj18w79wnNmormBNHaBnwDe4myzSLIvyvrcdPNL91HY iXfV9uHztUxyQF8NpgDd9gFTvYqDcHtddwosT9RD9WTMV4eVkyi19JWf8FJ4whUg zD/N4TfR85pmeBlOXHWv1WIEWIfLy+xBk48oWdOsF37jMAo2XjUNwuMkwBPV4aM1 oQajLSv00UfRwBK9rqvCN3dzGBhKmd5rmWOmWhZ1/otRgH+OfJ/ZyEgUudDKHQBr tddUTy3eZJqrV1d/S6Hagxrpbpsa/E2fKcC+M3Z5qqaaY9jLRBbW3moMl9elydTx lObivj+E9XemTmAbuDZP9kgEBaHrRASFOOydaZoRyL5LFhWhy8G7v4Mt60n/Xf4a bhQF4ETtfmYVVVn0kEresBzKKKvkyBdliSUIo19QYrWM9Khq5NxMTqmtuvVdXw7O 2NnTAS5UQrk3cz3vVjOtGi+h7mmq+OPnmptyaLhgfNeLb6JR8vuTTsUbXC2iHW6f 0+BsVRt7h2zIQN5LOKkWm1PvwP8RnmolxjFla2xQYNtG/1D83LMKZQKCFr625b4q mNDCTqfsaFHBZEUoBZtv7yJumsZmR7lRFvnQPtQfZmDAYIAmSv1cUq494w9RI/BX B6ZW5qQxY40oF9HwHYOX =4t8g -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release

Re: Release Team Members: input requested...
e is the potential confusion between -proposed used as staging for -updates and for -release at the same time. It's not impossible we could get a case where we have a package in - -proposed waiting to enter -updates (0-day SRU) but also have another update for the same package that's critical for release landing in - -release. We'd then need to remove the one from -proposed and ask for re-upload to include the changes from the one in -release. That or also push the SRU in the upload to -release (if it's considered safe). So yeah, might cause a bit of confusion but that's for a few corner cases that we hopefully won't hit and even if we do, it's possible to deal with them, just might look a bit weird ;) - -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJPeiWLAAoJEMY4l01keS1n4/IP/32bDIgvEtg/eqLRTXAqJPEu 6daUe/4JCRBsmdQ/Y3VKeDr9YZKLMastyRW3IyIwsqh1MbxvVETHsdvy7TPc0V36 mPpLZdKih7l66WJaWGclMtpEkEUoRZ3/8II9px4f2uV3c9Y2FX7bX/Us3R7hev9u 3Ut92TjlMytLG0RVpB34iObSP4ScISP/flDSpHNu7jpXDy6ETZhHbMZqV4d/HAe+ KmIz9iuKkadp/6mbzgIJphZva5c7MCs2ZABQwj1DJGw4wsHzQp/BD3OIq8Qd1CGT il+BUtej46i8kK1ha+G/4R7INliIAPe4gKcNqAKK/5F4doj0TqTFtciW106wmRNH wm7dCOqOBhCkdQnywZz1856mzbkIcJWBV06Q/VRtJTAVL2PtfUfXMZKyxGAEIkM7 EgxjAf/9Pb/Nevajz1Q76OIPx05FJfGszbq0S+Cs9LAkVTM7rPBEnitelyNzbu41 q4inH3s4LnCONAyVbwjxApPN+iNBIesBra3a1LsWckHv3wxtNM64NwUt1bmRHNIV 2Tudk/PZV688uRUqRckF2IoEi+y6W2LQYqMIW/TQblnsoDnA0uWhTrUkPZvySShu tV/I3JL4+JxFl496NPe+2kkHuLBo9kADv5vvaf4690buMqYcaPndlBYToOX3gt+R ZgfyWAaYSr846b+o+tIf =CBmv -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release

Any commit going to the slideshow branch at this point needs a matching approved UI freeze exception with ack from the translation, documentation and release teams as needed. If that's not the case, we'll revert the commit until the exception has been approved. That's to ensure that the ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu branch is uploadable at any time as it's required to refresh the translations. I was planning my next upload of ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu for next Thursday right before we enter beta2 freeze, hoping to have this one be a tranlation-only update so I'd prefer to have your changes land and be uploaded earlier next week. Just ping me when you have them ready with the UIFe approved and I'll merge, re-generate the translation templates and upload. The sooner we get these done, the more translation we have and it's critical for this package as we have no way to update it post-release (well, for 12.04 we'll have point releases, but still...). - -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJPYrR2AAoJEMY4l01keS1niiQQAI2WSqSo3ei2E335RSKRpqNM M/YnYlIY7Z8tKj9D2qv2eLa00DlgWUsmgpybqcY46iQq6sJqiB5pLb0/l/C54ogt jZnr5SAskZWoYb71RNfVkRS40p6/0rK4k1Ia6KZXaV/+L58daX7q24GHukDpuL81 orJh8PD7wvIzUJeDYHwcLG0D+f1pR1ocyCbnaOZNu+AzxRbEE/GBz05+GH3io2/P UukC6/r95CVDX4KhD+HEon5OlUaDrx0o/pLVYdUMYJvm5lTLOHQ9/g8e9ptDy4oB FI6XlHUTZJuNBHR6N+zk+6RTnUbhKBxsF1cTdJ8XQTTxqcrhZj6OfGR3duxZwLen sKJDplc42skXWLyzoUyIjTxheDxkpZiZa+7ht8vAp3fbnmSRy61M6ND36hyf+n+p ayUsMzrUZ1zZwEt+Aa57A5cFKytWed+NbJPsGoBaZV7goonJSGdcOx0NyarktViv 27YGqVr0kry0BKG5iB4/sq5NE5hXE3lyUDhqg2ok00kPKXPnPD6QtRs6Ljt32Jx9 0fqaM3nR8JjM8taAM+3WryT/9CBj7kFdnLdOJwYxFcgpYOR5AUYn/21DxVOJyr4w xputiVOr9qQiMdf2vMmj8nNzNQ+okU5pr/Ys30U3WNSmOP7boBI5e/k3HPISZf1T mTxYK5jXDG12LnSiLXT1 =oLLe -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release

[Foundations] Release Meeting 2012-02-10
http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-precise/canonical-foundations.html === What was done engineering wise? === * Upstart: * Busy working on a fix for bug 922754. * Merged branch from Serge and Stéphane making our console upstart jobs container-aware, also providing a new running-in-container command (returns 0 if in a container and prints technology name, otherwise returns 1) and two new events "container" and "not-container" for use in upstart jobs. * Crash database: * Uploaded version 0.1.5. * Continued work on the preference dialog. * Related apport work. * Installer * New Wubi uploaded for 10.04.4. * Networking * Daily debian-installer tests of IPv6 are now being run, just need to make the results public. * Fixed a few bugs in netcfg, related to resolvconf (netinstall failing) and IPv6. * Containers * Thanks to the upstart changes, it's now possible to run a stock Ubuntu system in a container, without any change in package or configuration. The lxcguest package has now been removed. * Toolchain * eglibc 2.15 has been uploaded yesterday causing some sound issues and upgrade issues for nvidia users. Both of which were fixed today. === What's about to land that might impact the other teams? === Nothing that I'm aware of at this point. === Release Notes === * Upstart in Ubuntu 12.04 will now detect that it's running in a container and will trigger the appropriate consoles based on the container technology.

[Edubuntu] Release meeting 2012-01-20
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Hello, === What was done engineering wise? === * Good cleanup and rework of maintainer scripts in edubuntu-artwork to better handle unity-greeter and avoid configuration prompt when upgrading from 11.10 * New version of epoptes, our classroom management tool, uploaded to Debian and synced into Ubuntu. It brings support for grouping clients, a few bugfixes including an issue with its SSL certificates validity period (was only 1 month) and updated translations. * Alkis also documented the reason for requiring x11vnc and vnc4 in Edubuntu for the LTS including a comparison with the alternatives: http://www.epoptes.org/documentation/vnc === What's about to land that might impact the other teams? === * LTSP... one day... for sure before Feature Freeze... === Release Notes === * None === Summary of bugs working on by team (reasonably reliable) === * None. === Dependencies on other teams, blocking items? === * None. === Issues? === Handling of unity-greeter's configuration for flavours is kind of difficult because we can't modify it from our packages without creating a huge mess (like I did for Edubuntu's ...) and diverting conffiles seems to be giving interesting results. After discussing the issue with Michael Terry on IRC, the conclusion was to investigate porting unity-greeter to gsettings which is easier for flavours to override without touching a conffile. In case it's interesting for someone else, here's what Edubuntu is currently doing to workaround the problem: 1) Ship /etc/lightdm/edubuntu-greeter.conf in edubuntu-artwork 2) In edubuntu-artwork's preinst, divert unity-greeter.conf to unity-greeter.conf.orig and install a symlink from unity-greeter.conf to edubuntu-greeter.conf 3) In edubuntu-artwork's postrm, remove the symlink and remove the diversion This has the advantage of not messing with unity-greeter's conffile while still shipping our settings as a conffile. For the record, here's the dpkg issue I found on the subject: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=363524 Hopefully we can switch our settings to a gsettings override file for 12.04 and avoid these hacks. - -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJPGKpZAAoJEMY4l01keS1nHUAP/jjG9PRn6kEDXfEBGrHr7Sj7 9TQGfUkeVjMHyWYUTRNdiIfpTiiTvlpAFcG8pkPdF7IHad69WdTcPaO9whLZ6zY6 TJ5UwOCWSCVPgaFDc0qf0qWx41gAG+8mW69Ltju5kXWVl1VfEab+4RirP7quD1g7 DlOMB3LXV5ZjldywEYsxgxWJMINsIpaX56rxvGf9Ut0CHzCDus6ZP9Q9W4nXcoAj z2nB2MUo+fTfglkM8AvnYbF962RqE+wUZlAQKhdnAI4NLdG0wzva86/kmvTzucmR KG0Y6FmapkPnRCy1Py5uFDyn+1G5IcsrMl1Rp4uxGBKBMYT+kcOBq6xq0BLNdJ4O x9hqxSKHeIMqFYo+XWN5Jnpjezg/3S+ixV3eDjbNSugotvJly2xKNutDT3t9MbkL 7EVF9OoBoy1C8oJoU1gOws/CUHD8QjR2M5TL1XZLjR1563hHuUSHl7tdzrSbmo25 +smuu5g057aH5cVpe/E4eroVyyRmkg/qsYcZOImqw+TQ1NtlGnJysOTdzX5eq8BE NOnnvKFmvhqV0U0upKeb4BlSv7WgjKoMVtR6gDysok7t/HfdBsRicXtltPXPNNQw liOdVkKftwfS/wR5HG4A8xKnLEHtT3sUr0nWbniTY+zUpz7fqiLSXaH5Ca+hy1tH D2l9uhXXqDCLuZOO0kvf =SK+p -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release
