| == Weekly summary == * Almost exclusively RC bug fixing and debugging this week. In particular, we fixed several critical issues in lightdm. * Landed final langpacks today, not yet on the currently tested images. In particular, this now has the translations for the new ubuntu-docs. This uncovered bug Bug:869815, but that got worked around by some manual hacking. * Cleaned up http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/kernel-bugs/reports/rls-mgr-o-tracking-bugs.html#desktop -- all but one now have assignees, and closed the duplicate/already fixed ones * At this point, all release-tracked bugs on above list/on our radar are SRU candidates and not release blockers (those were fixed in late uploads). * Planned 0-day SRUs so far: cups (Bug:860691 and Bug:860498) |
== What was done engineering wise? == * 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 == What's about to land that might impact the other teams? == * compiz on gsettings == 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? == * None |

| * All desktop blueprints with work items are drafted and approved. The last BP missing is UbuntuSpec:desktop-o-packaging-branches: This is just an informational workflow discussion about the style of our desktop-ish bzr branches. It was pretty much decided in the last desktop team meeting, but we want to give Robert a chance to respond, as he brought it up. Robert has also been down with Ubuflu, so we need to finish this next week. * We landed a major chunk of GNOME 3 in oneiric now, so far it's holding together reasonably well for this early stage. The remainder is blocked on porting Unity and the indicators to GTK 3. Note that the latter is a major transition and will cause some uninstallability and trouble for a few days. * Note that `language-support-*` metapackages are finally gone now, we now only use `check-language-support` dynamically. I updated all the seeds etc., but it might still break less obvious things somewhere. * Unity 2D and Qt are on the daily images. * CDs are currently 30 MB oversized, and that's not the end of it, as we'll still get the new gallium X.org drivers which will pull llvm. I don't think we'll be able to sort this out by alpha-1, so I propose we'll just release alpha-1 with documented oversizedness. |
* 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 |
| Line 56: | Line 81: |
| == 2011-06-11 == * GNOME 3 is mostly in oneiric now, with the exception of smaller things like the system monitor; we still lack an Ubuntu-ish theme, but that's being developed by DX; some of it is also blocked by some MIRs like accountsservice * Default login manager now switched to lightdm * CD space situation: We worked hard on downsizing, and cut off 30 MB, so that most of the daily images are now within limits, except i386 alternate (705 MB); we expect 4.5 MB growth from new X.org gallium drivers with new LLVM, and potential growth of ~ 6 to 10 MB for thunderbird (not firmly decided yet) |
=== 2012-06-29 === Done: * libreoffice 3.6.0 beta2 pre-released in a ppa for precise and quantal * work on "ubuntu drivers" (jockey replacement) continued, including port to python3 (waiting for review) * gtk got updated, included new a11y libraries and accessibility on by default * xserver 1.12 got uploaded * compiz "one tree version" (i.e all the components merged in one source) got upload * work is on progress on orca-python3 * GNOME 3.5 updates * update-manager work continued, included reviews and some of changes landing to trunk (should make their way to distro soon) * new firefox beta version in quantal including some fixes to our customization changes |
| Line 61: | Line 93: |
| == 2011-06-18 == * Landed new X.org versions * Landed the first bits of GNOME 3.1.x, starting with the lower-level libraries (GTK, etc.); we expect to start with, the UI bits in the next two weeks, now that we have a resonably stable GNOME 3.0 in oneiric. * CD space situation: We are 5 (amd64) / 9 (i386 MB oversized again, due to the new Mono transition, new mesa GLES support, and an extra 1 MB due to the new CD format; we expect 4.5 MB growth from new X.org gallium drivers with LLVM, and potential growth of ~ 6 to 10 MB for thunderbird (not firmly decided yet). We already implemented many of the biggest space savings (removing icons, removing less important software), though. Completing the Mono transition will give us back some 2 MB, and we just discovered that we can free some 12 MB by dropping *.pyc files from the squashfs and regenerate them at install time. * Slow progress on RC bugs, as we are concentrating on updating the platform and getting work items done in this period, and there are no real showstopper bugs right now. |
=== 2012-06-22 === Done: * 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) |
| Line 67: | Line 105: |
| == 2011-06-25 == | === 2012-06-15 === Done: * Ongoing work on hybrid graphics support * X.org 1.12 is now available in ubuntu-x-swat/x-stagin * Continued on SRUs for precise * Updated GNOME a11y stack to latest unstable release * Uploaded PulseAudio 2.0 to quantal * The next SRU round for the unity stack is being prepared * Libreoffice 3.5.4 SRU has been uploaded and is waiting for SRU team review * The work on the system compositor advanced enough to start the lightdm work * The work for the ui redesign of the third party drivers started |
| Line 69: | Line 117: |
| * We landed some more bits of the GNOME 3.1.x development versions, going well so far. * We also got the indicator stack and unity ports for GTK3 mostly ready and in oneiric, remaining bits will land next week. * Default umask for users with private user groups is now 0002. (UbuntuSpec:umask-to-0002). * Made a big push on alpha-2 work items, and got enough of them done to get us (almost) back to the trend line. * This week the LLVM gallium X.org drivers and deja-dup landed, adding another 7 MB. Except for Thunderbird, we now have everything "big and new" on the CD that was planned for oneiric, so we are now looking at an upper bound of CD size. * CD space situation: Colin landed the .pyc reduction (12 MB) and with some other small cleanup we are down to 6 MB(i386)/ 4 (amd64) oversizedness. There will be some more reduction in the next time due to obsolete library cleanup (Mono mostly), and dropping python 2.6 will buy us another couple of MB, so together with the projected 703 MB images the pain level is now pretty low again; Thunderbird size reduction/evaluation is still going on, though. * Slow progress on RC bugs, as we are concentrating on updating the platform and getting work items done in this period, and there are no real showstopper bugs right now. |
=== 2012-06-08 === Done: * 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 |

| * Unity and Indicators mostly ported to GTK 3 now. * Work item status: got back on track for alpha-2, on track for final release. At the rallye we also identified a lot of BPs which can easily be postponed to the next cycle, to concentrate on bug fixing after alpha-3. * CD space situation: amd64 desktop at 700 MB (yay!), i386 at 704 MB; we got a few reductions from dropping GTK 2 indicators, etc. * Slow progress on RC bugs, as we are concentrating on updating the platform and getting work items done in this period, and there are no real showstopper bugs right now. |

| * Thunderbird replaced Evolution as default email client on the CDs. This made the CDs explode again (~ 15 MB oversized), but we should now have all big new Oneiric things on the CDs. * Unity and Indicators mostly ported to GTK 3 now. * Great progress on Qt a11y patches; Unity 2D is now 80% accessible. * Default umask is now 002 for private user groups, for easier data sharing. * Work item status: some stragglers of alpha-2 moved to alpha-3; on track for final release. At the rallye we also identified a lot of BPs which can easily be postponed to the next cycle, to concentrate on bug fixing after alpha-3. * Got a slush of new RC bugs with the switch to lightdm (not really unexpected), grinding through these now. * Slow progress on RC bugs, as we are concentrating on updating the platform and getting work items done |

| * Lots of time spent this week on cleaning up after the `/run` transition, which broke quite a lot. * software-center port to GTK3 making great progress, should land for Alpha-3. * Mathieu finished his C rewrite of usb_modeswitch, which will get us rid of Tcl; needs code review now * Got sunpinyin and dependencies into main (new Chinese input support), now on the CDs. * Work item status: falling a bit behind on alpha-3, but on track for final release. But we have a bunch of blueprints which can easily be postponed to the next cycle, to concentrate on bug fixing after alpha-3. * Moderate progress on RC bugs; no serious alpha-3 breakers right now, but bug Bug:806064 needs some attention for Edubuntu; will ask Robert about it next Monday * CD size got 20 MB worse since alpha 2, mostly as the old Chinese input method `ibus-pinyin` is still on the CDs and in main for yet unknown reasons; to be investigated. Also, Firefox grew by 3.3 MB due to the switch from -Os to -O3; we have a nice potential fix, but currently fails to build on the buildds. == 2011-07-22 == * New compiz/unity releases this week. Compiz introduced some known performance and keybinding regressions, which are known and being worked on by DX. * Landed python3-gobject in Debian sid and oneiric, which should help with adopting Python 3. * software-center port to GTK3 making good progress, but will most probably miss oneiric; will land in time for the 12.04 LTS, though. Also, Shotwell and Firefox confirmed that they are working on GTK3 port, so we can hopefully drop GTK 3 in 12.04 LTS. * UbuntuSpec:desktop-o-cd-localization reached beta now: version 0.9 grew a mostly working image build script, plus the remaining required features. Now this only needs packaging of our syslinux theme, then it should be ready for more widespread testing. * Work item status: a bit behind on alpha-3, but on track for final release. But we have a bunch of blueprints which can easily be postponed to the next cycle, to concentrate on bug fixing after alpha-3. * RC bugs: * Moderate progress * no serious alpha-3 breakers right now * most important one is bug Bug:806064; now discussed with Robert, and solution is clear, and on track for alpha-3 * CD size: back from 730 to 715 MB, by reverting back to ibus-pinyin; Chinese Edition will have sunpinyin, as well as online installations with the regular CD (pulled in by language-selector and ubiquity). Thunderbird grew by 3 MB, will be fixed in next upload again. == 2011-07-29 == * No compiz or unity updates yet but dx is planning on some for monday it seems * GNOME 3.1.4 landed * GNOME in shape for alpha3, unity and compiz are having issues though, dx is working on those but timing is tight for alpha3 it seems == 2011-08-05 == * Alpha3 is out, no real blocker issues but still quite some feature that didn't land yet * Unity got some small updates this week but their feature work will land next week * GNOME 3.1.4 is in Oneiric, no blocker issue * Compiz gsettings still being worked by Dx but is not ready yet == 2011-08-12 == * Reduced activity during a part of the week due the desktop summit participation and holidays * We got most of the feature landed before the feature freeze though * New unity and indicator stack got uploaded on time for the freeze (with quite some bugs though) * Compiz still pending from dx, will likely need a ffe * GNOME 3.1.5 coming next week == 2011-08-19 == * GNOME 3.1.5 mostly landed except for three remaining packages. * Landed some high-urgency fixes in unity which cause a lot of crashes and other grief on Friday. * We currently have a harder decision to make about whether or not to update pygobject to 2.90 (i. e. future 3.0). See Bug:828751 for details and pro/con. * Lots of bug fixing this week. * Still swamped by too many "last mile" work items for 90% done specs, and a large bug backlog. == 2011-09-02 == * Landed remaining bits of GNOME 3.1.5. * New compiz/unity release, which should fix some annoying bugs. * pygobject 2.90 transition/upgrade mostly complete, but found breakage with ubiquity at the last minute; problems were tracked down, and Martin proposed fixes. Once they land, we can do the update right after beta-1. * Fresh language packs landed, bringing desktop CDs within size limit. * Alternate seeds fixed, bringing alternate CDs within size limit. * Lots of bug fixing, including some UI warts like the screen saver looking like gnome shell. * Got apport retracers working again, and caught up with the backlog. * Still swamped by too many "last mile" work items for 90% done specs, and a large bug backlog. == 2011-09-09 == * Updated GNOME to 3.1.91 (second beta). Just two packages (gnome-screensaver and gnome-user-docs) are behind still, updates in progress. * New compiz/unity release with lots of rebuilds due to yet another libunity ABI break. This finally brings CJK support, works with Qt 4.7.4 (now also uploaded), and fixes two dozen bugs. * pygobject 2.90 transition done, ubiquity fix merged. No known breakage from this any more. * OneConf got broken due to switching software-center to the GTK 3 version, but Didier ported it over, so it's working again. * Did some NBS transitions/portings/package removals to eliminate libpanel-applet2, libnotify1, libcamel-1.2-28, and libevent-1.4-2; waiting for arm/powerpc to catch up until we can fully remove them. * We still have a number of open work items, but most of them are now the "ensure that..", "test that...", "talk to..", and "create blueprint for P..." kind == 2011-09-16 == * GNOME 3.1.92 is due on Monday; expected that most changes will be translation updates and minor bug fixes, so we will be careful with uploading these during the beta-2 freeze. glib and GTK were already updated on Thursday to the latest upstream fixes from git, to minimize potential breakage next Monday. * Landed LibreOffice 3.4.3. * Loots of good bug fixes this week. * Investigated main culprits for boot speed regressions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/11.10/BootSpeedAnalysis; the biggest problem has a fix and is just waiting for an (unrelated) string freeze exception. The others are most probably P material. * Cleaned up remaining work items; most of the remaining issues are now about testing, documenting, and planning for the next release, and there are a few small targets of opportunity left. Code/distro wise this is pretty much done now. == 2011-09-23 == * We got half of GNOME 3.1.92 in before the freeze, the rest is waiting in unapproved. * Work items: The remaining issues are now about testing, documenting, and planning for the next release. There is one code-touching item left for firefox to not keep breaking ubuntu-defaults packages with every release. * Bug fixing. == 2011-09-30 == * Packaged final GNOME 3.2 release. Mostly translation updates, but a few really good bug fixes, too. * Lots of bug fixing, RC and otherwise. * Unfortunately the stream of UIF/FF exception requests from DX/design does not really cease, we got the music search scope, new font, launcher rearrangements etc. in after much discussion. Unfortunately some of the unity changes are buggy, so we'll most likely need another upload. |
* Catchup after UDS * Specs writing * Started quantal work, merges, some updates * Some SRUs for precise |
