* Blueprint drafting and approval fully complete last Monday; work items for everyone individually as well as the total number of work items are below or at the computed/agreed limit. * Unity (and related projects) tarmac/branch autolanding is now in effect. First actual tests are in place, although not a lot yet, and the Unity ones are currently failing. * Unity manual test plan started, making good progress. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnityTests) * Landed Apport client-side crash signature/duplicate detection. * It has been decided to go with Rhythmbox as default music player now, and reevaluate the state of Banshee-GTK3 between alpha-3 and beta-1. * Ported session-installer to GTK 3 and dropped gnome-codec-install, getting rid of some old libraries. * Landed new Zeitgeist, now written in Vala instead of Python. Brings some nice speedups. |
* 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 15: | Line 17: |
* For alpha-1 we'll switch to Rhythmbox and drop Tomboy/gbrainy from the CDs. | * 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 |

* Blueprint drafting and approval almost complete (our target was today); work items are almost complete, and everyone individually as well as the total number of work items are below or at the computed/agreed limit. * Fixed a couple of bugs in autopkgtest, it's now possible to use for our purposes. Converted the first two packages to DEP-8/autopkgtest for continuous QA integration: upower, apport; more to come. Discussed with Jean-Baptiste how to run these on data center QA machines. * Worked on getting Unity test harness and tarmac setup ready to go. Also got 51 manual test cases for Unity acceptance criteria written as a draft, covering panel and launcher for now. * Cleanup of GNOME packages, we were able to coordinate with Debian, do a few updates there, and sync a lot. * Landed client-side crash signature/duplicate detection in Apport trunk, and discussed integration into Cassandra server with Evan. |
* 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 |

About to land: * By next Monday we decide about Banshee vs. Rhythmbox. That particularly affects U1. But porting U1 to GTK3 is already unblocked, as we won't go with a GTK2 Banshee in precise. |
