Feature Freeze for Zesty was yesterday, so any new features need an exception. I have almost got an update to us-default-settings ready (finishing off what we didn't finish last time), and am planning an update to us-meta. Where did we get to with Len's work on us-controls? Is it ready to package & get uploaded?
I should look :). I think go back one commit to revision 128 and release will give access to the cpu governor with minimal changes to GUI. Revision 129 is experiment and a work in progress not ready to release by any means. The short story is the system access model as used now will not scale to do audio setup. The GUI can not run as root and deal with jack, pulse, etc. in userland. I have started work on moving the GUI to userland (where policykit suggests it should be anyway) and having it call a system process to do the few system things like real time repair and CPU Governor.
Ross, if you can move -controls back a revision and release for us that would be wonderful as my local version of -controls is a long way from being anything like able to make fixes with. let me know if you can't.
It was also Debian Import Freeze day yesterday. So if there are any packages that we want synced from Debian from now on, we will need to request a sync (and a freeze exception if it contains new features).
we already have Ardour 5.5 in the pipeline if it can get into zesty that would be really good. I would not go for 5.6 as I am hearing rumbles of a 5.7 or 5.6.1 point release to fix a regression. 5.6 is really a cleanup release to enable mixbus 4 to be released real soon now.
The Beta 1 release is planned for February 23rd. We need to let the Release Team know if we want to take part. We normally do. Any reasons not to?
Thank you for your effort in taking care of these things for us all. -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
