| 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 |
* 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) |

| == 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 |

| == 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) |

What was done engineering wise?
- 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

- work on update-manager refresh continued
- duplicity got updated
- GTK 3.5 and GNOME updated landed in quantal
- Desktop updates
- Bugs fixing and SRUs

What's about to land that might impact the other teams?
- 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
- leftover from previous week:
- the "one compiz source" compiz version should be uploaded next week
- xorg-server 1.12 should be uploaded next week
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 current upstream Unity team organisational changes makes it hard to know what will land and when for Ubuntu...
