Actions from this meeting

Weekly Summary

• Package GNOME 2.29.91.
• Lots of NBS cleanup. The remaining desktopish issue is indicator-applet, which we really just ought to remove. Keeping in archive because Ted wanted to have a stab at it. (pitti)
• pkgbinarymangler fixed to properly deal with Mallard help files. (pitti)

• Make http://people.canonical.com/~platform/desktop/versions.html a lot more current by direct launchpadlib queries and checking unpublished packages. (pitti)

• Made system-config-printer working correctly with cups-pk-helper installed (Recommended by gnome-shell) by now simply disabling PolicyKit support in system-config-printer, agreed with pitti that PolicyKit needs to get improved to support the desired authentication scenarios in P. P. (LP: #847896, tkamppeter)

• Fixed dependencies of Déjà Dup to actually pull in U1 packages by default (so go test!)
• New release of Quickly, fixing some issues in Oneiric

Partner update

• New indicator-sound to fix some tracklist issue.
• New overlay-scrollbar to update the blacklist.

• New gtk patch pushed, need a new IDO building for fixing the infamous "clicking on the volume slider closes the SoundMenu" bug #804009.

Unity

• New Unity release last week (was expectionnaly pushed on Friday due to an uncompatible issue with unity-2d). Latest to hopefully have a nux and unity ABI break.
  • Got a lot of bug fixes. Hilights from the week:
    • now works on netbook screensize
    • bring back Super + A/F/M shortcuts
    • some behavior and rendering fixes
    • some changes in the dash (UIFe)
    • some speedup improvment (lazy load again of lenses) and bug fixes
  • Got an libunity ABI break as well, making rebuilding a bunch of rdepends (API change from the lens part only).
  • Also, the way lightdm and the session detect the session to launch changed (done while the user is typing his password), this brings some speedup improvment, take into account the autologin case where /tmp can't be written. Seems no cry found on this one, so should be good!
  • This week is seeing a new unity with an UIFe (continuing the dash reshape work), and another one on the switcher.
• Compiz:
  • New compiz uploaded on Monday with an ABI break, so rebuilding of libcompizconfig, all plugins, pythoncompizconfig and unity.
  • This new release brings some fixes (like the orange color on the grid one). This is normally a preventive ABI break before an incoming stacking issue fix which shouldn't break the ABI.
  • UIFe for centering the workspace swicher to take into account the launcher size as well.

• Unity-2d releases. Despite some unsynced with unity and delaying the release, we got a lot of fixes there as well: https://launchpad.net/unity-2d/+milestone/4.6. The majority is to bring unity-2d closer to unity-3d for look and feel.

• We got Qt 4.7.4 this week as well. Lot of bug fixes for QML (and so Unity-2d) and some nice new features which will enables the unity-2d guys to experiment for the future.

Software Center

• Ubuntu-catalog server-side deployment (for OneConf) in progress, debugging in progress with isd for some credential issue. Sync is now very closed to be for real

• Software Center version 4.1.22 released, includes over 40 bug fixes (including many crashers)

  • Many thanks to kiwinote, Matthew McGowan, Robert Roth, didrocks, Andrea Cimitan, and Gabor Kelemen for their great work!

• The team continues to focus on stability and refinement of the new UI with many more bug fixes coming soon
