| 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). mvo plans to accomplish back end work in the next couple of days. ArneGeotje to do front end work, perhaps next week. * xorg-options-editor: community effort, might nto make it for FF; low-priority spec, and missing would not really harm. bryce and rickspencer3 to see if they can get it ready for universe at the Jaunty sprint. |
* 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 |

| == RC Bugs == * 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/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/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: nv driver problem, still untriaged |

| == 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. |
