| == 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? == * firefox and thunderbird 13 have been updated for all supported ubuntu series, work started for the next versions in quantal * Libreoffice 3.6.0-beta1 is getting ready for quantal (in a ppa for the moment) * Update Manager got a slightly new look, more to come in the future * GNOME 3.5 updates in quantal * The team continued on merges and python3 porting * The system compositor work is seeing some good progresses * Unity build issues on quantal are being investigate (the build issue have fixes available but unity,nux segfaults when building with the new gcc, that's being investigated) * Some SRUs for precise |

| 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 |
== What's about to land that might impact the other teams? == |

| == RC Bugs == * 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 ([[https://launchpad.net/bugs/334101||LP #334101]]), thus we can cover almost all models * https://launchpad.net/bugs/320632: tap-to-click and edge scrolling broken → reason might be that folks didn't have the -synaptics package installed; waiting for response from bug reporters * https://launchpad.net/bugs/309482: Kubuntu oem-setup crashes if using -nv driver: seems to be a small corner case; no progress this week * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199140: NM manages virtual interfaces → on Alexander's radar, problem is well understood and just needs time to fix it * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281348: toolbar problem w/ ubufox → Alex commited fix to bzr * https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277309: session dialog missing suspend icon → need [[http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567958|upstream fix]] for the session dialog first, then we can easily fix the icon |
* 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 |
| Line 19: | Line 17: |
| == Planned Intrusive changes == * Potential patch to mozzilla: make new tab behaviour consistent in Firefox (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/331618); waiting for response from Mozilla * updating clutter-gst from 0.8 to 1.0 for moblin compliance; 1.0 is not yet available upstream, but will be soon; it does not have reverse dependencies (except for perl and Python bindings, which will be updated along) |

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.
