| == Specs == All are approved, except: * jaunty-desktop-network-changing [drafting]: This is mainly an umbrella for a list of bugs; Alexander filed all bugs and will summarize them in the blueprint, then it will be approved; many issues are already fixed in Jaunty |

| Implementation is mostly going well (many already implemented); concerns: * DX team improvements (new notifications, IM indicator) still didn't land. Will push for that on the sprint, aim to land first versions in Ubuntu next week * jaunty-language-selector-improvements: not started yet, considerable chance to not make it for Jaunty FF; (low-priority spec) * xorg-options-editor: community effort, might nto make it for FF; low-priority spec, and missing would not really harm |
* new libusb-based USB CUPS backend * Improved Plug'n'Print UDEV facility of system-config-printer * First printer driver packages using new libjbig are available now: foo2zjs, splix, c2esp * Got some quickly/python-distutils-extra fixes and support for the arb team during the app developer week * Work in progress on new gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center * Continued work on the UI design for Additional Drivers in software-properties * Fixed chromium-browser (18.x) FTBFS in quantal * Worked on updating chromium-browser to latest in the stable channel, 20.x * Libreoffice 3.6 is getting ready for upload in quantal * Get a branch ready for merging into Unity, so that Unity uses libatk-bridge. * First round of indicators updates in quantal, including new session indicator * First round of unity 6 serie updates in quantal, not so many user visible changes but lot of bug fixing and foundation work * Working prototype of system compositor + intel driver * Experimental lightdm,system compositor work ready to test, see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2012-July/003890.html |

| == 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. |
