Assigned Intrepid specs: * intrepid-device-permissions: Fixed libpam-ck-connector to work by default in PAM common-session; now it needs to be auto-added to PAM config on installation; slangasek says I should use pam-config-framework for that, which isn't ready yet; thus BLOCKED * gdm-guest-account: More or less implemented now, spec has release note and test case sections now; just needs some bug fixing now * jockey-printer-driver-support: backend is fully capable of searching for drivers on openprinting.org; needs some remaining frontend work now; didn't get to much work on this spec this week; big problem is that upstream probably won't add the system-config-printer changes in time for intrepid, so the really really nice integration might slip to the next release :( (it's still useful to search/install drivers from the jockey UI) |

- trap ctrl-c in the terminal
- debug/fix long standing unref error in gtkpkglist.cc that is mostly harmless bug gives a gtk-critical message (#38397)
implement https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackageSupportednessUIHardy and push that into http://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/synaptic/hardy
- work on improvements for the archive-reorganization (mostly by working on better debtags support, lp:~mvo/synaptic/ept)

- new libgksu2.0-0 for hardy proposed (#55172)
sandbox-upgrader:
- making good progress, fixed various bugs
- Debug sandbox-upgrader failure of dholbach, turned out to be a regression in hardy-prposed, reported and uploaded fix, see #254966
- add code to generate simple test environment to improve testing turnaround
packagekit:
- looked into packagekit git
- implemented missing doUpdatePackages
- improved the behavior for conffile (send a backend.Message() up about them and default to "keep")
- add terminal timeout, ie kill (ctrl-c) maintainer scripts that do nothing for more than 10 minutes (not in git yet, need to figure out how to upload my branch *sigh*)
misc:
- bug triage
- sponsoring queue
- work on improvements on the translated package description import scripts (with Sianis)
