Dear developers, Jaunty Alpha 4 is scheduled for this Thursday, February 5, so the milestone "freeze" is now in effect. Please take care that any packages you upload to main between now and the Alpha 4 release will help us in the goal of a high quality and timely alpha, and hold any disruptive or unnecessary uploads until after the alpha is out. Again, this means the primary focus should be on resolving these bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+bugs?field.milestone=2212 The number of bugs targeted to this milestone is still small, but there's plenty of other work to be done in getting the archive in a consistent state so that we don't have uninstallable packages for the alpha-4 milestone: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/PackageArchive#Consistency Remember that this is a "soft" freeze, so you are each responsible for making sure your uploads are appropriate - Launchpad will not be your safety net.[1] Packages that are not seeded on the CDs (i.e., most packages in universe, with the exception of UbuntuStudio, Xubuntu, and Mythbuntu packages) may be uploaded as usual.
