Weekly Summary
CD space situation: As we now earned a second (for GTK3) webkit, we grew another 7 MB, having 22 MB oversizedness now (20110606 image). Colin made up for it by dropping all development support from ship/ship-live (will be on today's images). Another ~ 5 MB will be dropped by switching to live-build, and Martin has a 5.7 MB saving in the pipeline from gnome-icon-theme. desktop-o-cdspace has some more ideas, but they require some serious work. So we are down to 5 MB oversizedness. compiz split just won 1.5 additional MB
- gnome-icon-theme is now split into a small "install by default" package (which just ships the icons that humanity doesn't provide), and a big gnome-icon-theme-full. Please let me know about any missing icons you see. (Martin)
Fixed up several issues of mDNS/DNS-SD broadcasting of shared printers by CUPS. Now using these broadcasts by clients actually works, especially Apple's AirPrint. So if you have a mobile device from Apple (iPad, iPhone, IPod Touch, with iOS 4.2 or newer, update via iTunes if needed), please test whether you can print. Also Mac OS X should find your shared printers in its default configuration. See LP: #711779, LP: #792309, LP: #793265. Fix available in Oneiric and Natty (-proposed) (TillKamppeter).
Updated system-config-printer to version 1.3.3 (incorporated 23 of our patches) and HPLIP 3.11.5 (TillKamppeter).
Started communication about introduction of color management with Debian (TillKamppeter).
OneConf is now de-desktopcouchified and perform way faster than before (removed a lot of overengineering, but still let it extensible by design).
Partner update
Unity
Compiz finally got a SRU! Available right now in oneiric, it's in natty-proposed as well. We need fix verification: we need people confirming the fixes for compiz, compiz-plugins-main, unity-place-files, unity-place-applications and unity itself to deliver the goodness to the world: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html
Unity-2d: we have a Qt segfault in unity-2d-places since Qt was rebuilt with gcc 4.6. Rebuilding with 4.5 makes the segfault not appearing. Trying different solution (with new gcc and additional fixes backported), in my ppa. Bug reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/791213 and dicussion started upstream as well http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-19736
