Once that's done, we can move the dependency and demote the rest. * Bug:712677 ''[Does not report crashes during "Install Ubuntu" installs]'': No progress this week. * Bug:901638 ''[Remove iodbc2 (causes upgrade failure from Oneiric to Precise)]'': We have a patch to fix the upgrade, but needed to revert it because soprano-daemon still needs the obsolete iodbc2 driver. Help appreciated. * Bug:894263 ''[No log on information through lightdm-gtk-greeter]'': No progress this week * Bug:868400 ''[Synaptics touchpad stops working - two syndaemon instances running]'': No progress this 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. |
=== 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 |

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. == 2011-12-02 == 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. == 2012-12-09 == Done: * 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). About to land: * Nothing planned right now. Blockers: * Nothing right now, but help greatly appreciated for Bug:850264 == 2012-12-16 == |

* Landed GTK 3.3 development release, no major problems known. * Fixed several bugs which caused lucid->precise or oneiric->precise upgrades to fail. We had to revert Bug:901638 until soprano-daemon gets fixed (a first attempt was made to build soprano against unixodbc, but that fails at runtime). * Fixed remaining long-standing uninstallability in main. * poppler ABI transition/porting now fully done in main and universe. That took quite some porting work and reiterated a discussion how much mandays we should really spend on fixing every bit of universe, but it's done now. * Started improving accessibility functionality of the Unity greeter, adding keyboard shortcuts for screen reader, high contrast, and accessing the indicator menu bar. |

This page keeps track of the current release status of the Desktop Team.
What was done engineering wise?
- 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)
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...
