== Specs ==
All are approved, and Jaunty goals decided upon. Desktop Experience team stuff
has landed right in time for FF, now in bug fixing mode.
== What was done engineering wise? ==
Line 7: Line 5:
Implementation is mostly going well (many already implemented); concerns:
 * gpm-and-device-kit-power: Ted might not have enough time to provide the new g-p-m in a PPA by FF; however, that shouldn't be covered by FF, since it's not in Ubuntu proper; Martin will coordinate with him if he doesn't have time for this
 * jaunty-language-selector-improvements: Arne and Michael worked out some details and fixes; this is ready for upload now; just UI changes, no actual new features → OK for UIF, or need a FFE?
 * Didier has been sprinting in London with the #ps unity packagers to get them up to speed
 * The new unity SRU round has been prepared and should be uploaded soon
 * The decision has been taken to build unity with gcc-4.6 until the stl abi issues are resolved
 * work on update-manager refresh continued
 * duplicity got updated
 * GTK 3.5 and GNOME updated landed in quantal
 * Desktop updates
 * Bugs fixing and SRUs
 * Improvement to our tracking tools (versions)
Line 11: Line 15:
== RC Bugs ==
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/312536: nss shouldn't honor MD5 hash signatures → waiting for upstream fix, security update issue, not really a release blocker
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/310999: nss shouldn't honor comodo CA? → still waiting on upstream decision, security update issue, not really a release blocker
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/304871: X doesn't start on i845G → debugging going on; seems that upstream isn't interested in working on EXA any more, and just works on UXA (which is still too unstable); Martin asked Bryce about possibility of switching to XAA ond a per-model basis
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/313027: fglrx not working in Jaunty → current plan is to move all fglrx users to -ati; latest word is that FOSS radeon driver 0.6.12 will work on r6xx and r7xx as well, thus we can cover almost all models
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/320632: tap-to-click and edge scrolling broken → tap-to-click mostly is working again, edge scrolling still broken for many people, debugging going on
 * https://launchpad.net/bugs/309482: Kubuntu oem-setup crashes if using -nv driver: seems to be a small corner case, debugging still ongoing
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199140: NM manages virtual interfaces → newly came up this week, currently being investigated
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281348: toolbar problem w/ ubufox → newly came up this week, and Alex already commited the fix to bzr
== What's about to land that might impact the other teams? ==
Line 21: Line 17:
== Planned Intrusive changes ==  * The new GTK landing creates some theme related issues (visual bugs, combo boxes broken), #ps has little time and motiviation to deal with Ubuntu issues at the moment though
