Adam Conrad (infinity)

Done

• was/am still sick, but worked most of the weekend and pretty-much full time over the last week anyway, out of guilt and/or fear
• livefs changes (and debugging) to allow for sort files to be fed automagically to the build process
• much buildd wrangling, including rescuing some toolchain buggery (repeatedly) in the chroot tarballs, many mass-give-backs, and hand-mangling of the ia64 queues until it finally managed to catch up
• general archive mangling, both in soyuz and katie, rescuing some broken security uploads, processing some NEW stuff, etc, etc

To do

• livefs build speedups will get attacked next week, the turnaround time of livefs builds during the knot-1 prep was painful (sorry, Tollef)
• work on the buildd side of livefs-stacked-filesystems with Tollef, test, debug, and give that a seal of approval
• start attacking the (massive) edgy out-of-date list, separating anastacia breakage from real build failures, informing people of the former, and tackling the latter

Ben Collins (BenC)

Done

• linux-kernel-crash-dump: IN PROGRESS. Finished kernel side. Works on i386. AMD64 seems broken, and haven't tested powerpc64 yet. Patches for kexec-tools and grub done. Need to work on some additions to initramfs-tools so we get a nice friendly interface to save dumps.
• linux-kernel-headers: Now being built out of linux-source.

To do

• libata-for-all-ata-disks: STALLED. Should have time this week for UUID and boot loader changes.
• kernel bugs: Should be able to do some bug maint while on "vacation" next week.

Chuck Short (zul)

Done

• Kernel Security Updates
• Initial xen kernel image
• Initial xen userspace

Colin Watson (Kamion)

Done

• Fixed enough installer bugs to make Edgy installable and knot-1 releaseable, including a couple of seriously bizarre locale bugs. Made ubiquity work in Edgy.
• Fixed a number of ubiquity's top crash bugs and a gparted crash bug. Started preparing a ubiquity upload for dapper-updates too, so we'll have something for the point release.
• ubiquity-advanced-partitioner: Read various articles on writing custom GTK widgets. Started experimental work.

To do

• ubiquity: Rewrite localechooser's encoding handling to clear up bugs like #47742.
• ubiquity-advanced-partitioner: Get GTK disk bar widget working. Lay out main partitioner page and create/edit dialogs using this.

• revive-tasksel: Sort out the archive side (seeds -> Task: fields in Packages file).

Daniel Holbach (dholbach)

Done

• BUG TRIAGE
• worked on getting Galago and Telepathy packages in

Looking for

• people doing a MOTU/School session

Fabio Di Nitto (fabbione)

Done

• ubuntu-edgy-cluster: lot of work on the redhat-cluster-suite. It's temporary blocked on new headers (waiting for new kernel after knot-1), small bug in libvolumeid0 (bug #53494). GFS and GFS2 tests are NOK (bug filed upstream). Pushed 9 patches to redhat for userland (all accepted) left 2 minor ones and a RFC for GFS/GFS2 kernel modules (delta reduced to 4 one liners to adapt the suite to our FS layout). OCFS2 minor bug fix and tests (all good here).

To do

• become father... no it didn't happen yet. My wife is slow but there are no upgrades available. Hopefully get fixes for GFS/GFS2 before paternity leave. Start working on ubuntu-edgy-cluster new features and bug fixing (system-config-cluster needs some love with the new suite or package conga that's the new natural upgrade). Possibly start looking into sparc64-port.

Notes:

• next monday i will be away about two hours to go with my wife to the hospital, if she will not deliver before that date.

Martin Pitt (pitti)

Done

• security updates: php (finally), OO.o, kernel, libtunepimp, zope; these took the majority of time this week, so my other stuff got stalled
• some remaining merges
• automated-problem-reports:
  • collect all information but stack frame now (this requires some more thought and work)
  • create library for handling problem reports, add test suite
  • initial packaging
  • tried in vain to make the current kernel crashdump helper work in a sensible way; proposed an alternative to BenC; BLOCKED: answer, discussion, and implementation
• apt-get-debug-symbols: fixed breakage with some packages, uploaded new version

To Do

• some more pending security updates (arrgh)
• catch up on bug mail (goal from last week, ENOTIME)
• automated-problem-reports: finish packaging, discuss kernel interaction with BenC
• fix the mysterious apt-ftparchive failure on the daily langpacks (did a stab on it, but no success so far, and ENOTIME)

• find some time to look at hal CVS HEAD and it PolicyKit (mdz, you'll still get your mail, I didn't forget about it; but I have to actually look into the stuff)

Matthias Klose (doko)

Done

• toolchain-roadmap / gcc-ssp: reworked the ssp patch, fix the multiarch include paths for powerpc, ia64, hppa, split out gnat-4.1 from gcc-4.1 (to drop it from main and make it independent from the ssp default), started some ix86 backport work frm the trunk.
• python-roadmap: more conversions for packages in main to the updated python policy, sync requests from unstable; no complete status yet (should be done after binaries not built anymore are removed from the archive)
• python2.5: updated to 2.5b2, needs promotion to main now, python-defaults depends on it.
• openoffice.org: breezy security update, 2.0.3 packages for dapper, building 2.0.3 l10n packages for dapper; status 2.0.3 for edgy: fails in the final registration step; investigating.

To do

• openoffice.org: testing and uploading 2.0.3 to dapper-proposed, investigate edgy build failure
• specs: packaging-hints is next, delayed by somewhat unexpected toolchain work.
• toolchain-roadmap: glibc build failure (actually not done by myself), but needs work now.
