Still needs to be added to the advanced page. * Wrote up instructions on using the Ubuntu USB disks. Still in progress as I need to verify that they do not work on Intel Macs (firmware issue) other than my aging 2006 iMac. If anyone has an Intel Mac, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this. * Modified ubiquity to notify the user of what operating systems will be deleted if they choose to use the entire disk. I still need to provide proper i18n support for this. * Dropped the timezone setting code from casper as it's unnecessary and resets the time on every reboot in persistent mode. Looking into why update-initramfs is disabled on the Live CD, especially in persistent mode, with the hope of fixing LP: #292159. * Made numerous fixes to usb-creator in preparation for an SRU for Intrepid and a backport for Hardy. Merged with Mario's branch and added i18n support. === Lars Wirzenius === * Fixes for system-cleaner's many bugs in intrepid, to prepare an SRU. (The upload has now been done, kindly sponsored by Michael Vogt.) === Matthias Klose === * Nov 04 - Nov 07: OOo ESC meeting / OOoCon, planning report * Nov 11: email catch up, catchup on bug reports, openjdk 6b13 build, gcc-snapshot update === Michael Vogt === ==== update-manager ==== * updated for jaunty and uploaded * Better error reporting on upgrade calculation failures * SRU for evms removal (LP: #292179), needs to be added for hardy->lts+1 too * Do not add "relatime" if "noatime" is already given * add release update notifications on the server via update-motd ==== update-notifier ==== * make apt-check a python module, refactoring the code to make it cleaner, remove unneeded output, add --human-readable * Modify update-notifier-kde to work with the latest update-notifier apt-check changes so that it can drop its own copy and just can use the one in update-notifier-common (lp:~mvo/update-notifier-kde/mvo) * merge update-motd support from kirkland with some modifications * upload version that will show the amount of upgradable packages in the motd * create a branch for a own dist-upgrade notification icon (lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/update-notifier/dist-upgrade-notifier) * Remove debian/rules arch-build from update-notifier and use the bzr-buildpackage hooks ==== apturl ==== * Work on apturl and add some basic (client side) string substitution * Work on apturl and (known) channel adding support for known repositories (from app-install-data-commercial) * Refactoring apturl for better UI speperation and cleaner code - a qt frontend should be straightforward now * asked for security review of my changes (thanks kees!) * improved whitelisting and stronger checks * upload new apturl ==== apt ==== * Apt code review/merge from jackyf * Trying to debug a cache open problem (race between synaptic/packagekit?) * Work on python-apt fix for ports.ubuntu.com ==== compiz ==== * merge the jauty branch * remove a bunch of old patches * upload to jaunty ==== merges ==== * lots of merges, sync requests ==== sponsoring ==== * gnome-terminal, metacity, dput, software-properties, command-not-found ==== misc ==== * bug triage * mail * Setup jaunty devel environement * boot beatuficaion call and research into it (kernel modesetting, plymouth, ...) * draft uds agenda items * sru for app-install-data-commercial * research how to block shutdown during upgrades, would be relatively straightforward if gdm would use hal for the shutdown, need to discuss this with seb === Steve Langasek === ==== Release management ==== * working on getting the archive ready for jaunty * post-release email roundup * change around the mythbuntu image builds from alternates to liveCDs, per Mario * SRU reviews ==== Packages ==== * cleanup of PAM bugs ==== Archive Administration ==== * partner archive cleanup ==== Misc ==== * Monday archive duties
