| == RC Bugs == * https://launchpad.net/bugs/321311: screensaver won't unlock: Seb suspects an IM issue, will follow up in the bug; for now, this doesn't really deserve "critical" IMHO * https://launchpad.net/bugs/308397: ubufox breaks useragent stats: not really important, since we are being counted; "wontfix"ed stable task, taken off the list of alpha-4 blockers, and fixed in bzr already * https://launchpad.net/bugs/312536: nss shouldn't honor MD5 hash signatures -> waiting for upstream fix, security update issue, not really a release blocker, won't land in time for a4 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/310999: nss shouldn't honor comodo CA? -> still waiting on upstream decision, security update issue, not really a release blocker, won't land in time for a4 * known X regressions: * https://launchpad.net/bugs/264462: Bryce wrote debugging recipe into the wiki, waiting for reporter to provide debugging info * https://launchpad.net/bugs/304871: was believed fixed with dri2, but apparently not so; debugging going on (needs cofirmation that they were actually using dri2 in last test) * https://launchpad.net/bugs/308410: Blocked waiting on nVidia's driver release to match new X ABI (closed-source drivers); jockey doesn't currently offer them, for the time being * https://launchpad.net/bugs/312677: confirmed fixed * https://launchpad.net/bugs/287470: nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 upgrade failures, fixed in intrepid-updates * https://launchpad.net/bugs/284408: fglrx counterpart to 287470, blocked on AMD to provide a build against current X server; disabled in Jockey for now; ati should work for almost all users now, though * https://launchpad.net/bugs/309482: OEM mode failing for Kubuntu: still untriaged; pinged Riddell, he'll look at it * https://launchpad.net/bugs/314263: seems this is fixed for calling as real user, but still an issue with calling through root->su/sudo (i. e. what apport does for system crashes); Martin provided reproducer in the upstream bug |

| == Planned Intrusive changes == * GNOME 2.59.90 is due next week; if we don't have time to push it in, due to sprint and alpha-4 freeze, we'll skip that and upload the next microversion the week after * Martin plans to update our patches for langpack support for .desktop files to the improved patches in OpenSUSE; making them fully "active" will require rebuilds of all packages, thus doing that right before a GNOME point release is a great time; it does not cause major problems if the rebuilds don't happen quickly, though. |

What was done engineering wise?

What's about to land that might impact the other teams?
- GTK 3.5 should be uploaded to quantal soon (blocked on the themes (unico) to be updated to work with it), out of the fact that it's a new GTK serie there is no known issue though
Summary of bugs working on by team (reasonably reliable)
- No specific list yet for quantal
Dependencies on other teams to make deliverables, blocking items, release wide concerns?
The libreoffice 3.5.4 SRU for precise is ready for a week but blocked on SRU team <-> TB discussions (the SRU team says that such updates don't qualify for SRU without a MRE and the MRE request which has been sent to the TB didn't really see lot of action yet) ... not sure how to unblock the situation but the update fixes several important bugs including data lost ones so it would be nice to get out to precise users.
