Actions from this meeting
Activity reports
Colin Watson
- Merged: clock-setup, kbd, console-setup, lilo-installer, busybox(including fix for #293586, though that will need to be backported to intrepid), anna, finish-install, netcfg, silo-installer, yaboot-installer, grub-installer, palo-installer, parted, base-files, partman-newworld, partman-crypto, partman-ext3, partman-jfs, partman-xfs, partman-reiserfs, iso-scan (phew)
- Some debian-installer bug review, including cleaning up very old daily-installer-* directories from the archive (#40186).
- Followed up to upstart/util-linux #273189 with a more detailed description of work to be done (noticed during finish-install merge).
- Investigated casper #70566 at some length by way of sponsorship processing; I have a cleaned-up version of the proposed patch in my casper working tree now, but this is likely to need more complex fixes in usplash in order to display non-ASCII characters properly,including perhaps switching to unifont.
Evan Dandrea
Prepared for and presented a usb-creator UbuntuOpenWeek talk (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekintrepid/UsbCreator).
- Added a warning about what operating systems will be removed when selecting the "use entire disk" option in ubiquity. 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.)
