== 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? == |

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? |
* Wrote some integration tests for different desktop components * Improved libusb-based USB CUPS backend a lot * A Software Updater redesign landed and the release upgrader was moved to its own package * Desktop SRUs for precise * Accessibility work unity and unity-panel-service * Unity 6.0 and Nux 3.0 release preparation (with the lenses transition). * New firefox,thunderbird beta version * Work on libreoffice 3.6 beta continued * Compiz on gsettings is getting ready * Uploaded x1.12 into ubuntu-x-swat/q-lts-backport * Working with debian on making libdrm_nouveau new and old abi parallel installable using f17's patch * Working upstream on dma-buf synchronisation problem * lightdm,system compositor work is ongoing * some GNOME updates * software-properties port to python3 got uploaded |

== 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 |
