| Implementation is mostly going well (many already implemented); concerns: * Dx team improvements (new notifications, IM indicator) expecting a code drop on Monday that includes some messaging indicator support and updated look and feel and animations for notifications. 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 |
* 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/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. |

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...
