| * Landed new glib development release 2.31. This caused some dozen packages to FTBFS, but was worked around. No other regressions known right now. * Set up http://ddebs.ubuntu.com for armhf. * Failsafe-X works again. * Improved archive consistency reports (component-mismatches, uninstallability, priority-mismatches) and drove uninstallable packages, priority-mismatches, and architecture-mismatches to zero. Let's keep it that way! All three are now integrated into Jenkins. * All unity projects now have working tests and are autolanding gracefully and pushed to the staging PPA (https://launchpad.net/~unity-team/+archive/staging). |
* Catchup after UDS * Specs writing * Started quantal work, merges, some updates * Some SRUs for precise |

| * Nothing planned right now. | * Nothing specific out of the churns coming with Debian syncs and merges at the start of the cycle. Some GNOME updates are planned but they shouldn't impact much on others. |

| == 2011-11-18 == Done: * 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. 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. Blockers: * Waiting for IS to put Unity tarmac setup into production. == 2011-11-25 == Done: * 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. Seed changes were applied and uploaded. * 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. About to land: * For alpha-1 we'll switch to Rhythmbox and drop Tomboy/gbrainy from the CDs. Blockers: * Nothing right now. == 2011-11-25 == Done: * Switched precise over to Rhythmbox, dropped banshee/gbrainy/totem/Mono from CDs. * More packages got DEP-8 autopkgtest control files now. We now have apport, jockey, upower, postgresql-common now. * Update our desktop packages (polkit, accountsservice, jockey, language-selector, etc.) for the admin → sudo group migration. This is now the new preferred "administrator" group, but admin should still be recognized for backwards compatibility (for eternity). * Multi-arch-ified GTK 3, so you can start multiarching plugins and dependencies. * Started looking into the LightDM KDE greeter: fixed build of the new liblightdm-qt, currently packaging the KDE greeter. * Wrote 107 manual Unity tests (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnityTests), fully functionally covering panel, launcher, dash and alt + tab. Some window management interaction is covered as well. About to land: * We will soon switch to a GLib/Gtk development version (2.31.x / 3.3.x). We'll test this thoroughly, but it might cause some disruption. Blockers: * Nothing right now. |
