No loggerhead/playground set up yet. * Move meant that the firewall is currently preventing the importers from working, so a backlog is building up. RT ticket filed requesting the needed holes to be punched in the firewall or alternative solution proposed. * Discovered that my user account on the machine had a wacky locale set. Changed to a sane one and reduced the failure count by ~1000 (exact number not available at present due to previous point, somewhere around 500 failures remain, ~4%) * Basic documentation written for how to use the branches, need to incorporate Colin's feedback, and detail what is different for working with the temporary branches. * Spoke to Celso last week about getting the needed APIs, apparently shouldn't be too hard, but isn't top of his priority list. Current situation works, but isn't ideal. I can work on a solution that will improve most cases. * Spoke to Kubuntu team about bzr for packaging. * Also spoke to Celso about building packages directly from bzr. This is hard to do if we want to retain signed source packages, but not impossible. ==== Ubuntu ==== * Sponsoring feast. >50 items sponsored in the last few days. * UDS specs === Lars Wirzenius === * Thinking about wonderful things Cruft Remover could do in jaunty. No coding or wiki activity yet. * Started preparing my Ubuntu Contributing Developer application. * Looked at the lockfile-progs merge, and prodded the previous uploader about it (looked like an easy one). * Verified that the buildd-built system-cleaner SRU binaries fix the bugs the SRU is supposed to fix. === Luke Yelavich === ==== Audio ==== * Audio bug triaging. * Ongoing consideration and examination on how the alsa kernel modules could be maintained outside the kernel in their own package, for the several kernels Ubuntu has. * Merged alsa-driver, alsa-lib, alsa-plugins, alsa-utils, and pulseaudio. Jaunty will have 0.9,13 at a minimum, and hopefully one or two releases newer than that will be available before feature freeze. ==== Dmraid ==== * Spent some time checking that the dmraid package in Debian has all the bits I put into the ubuntu package, and fakesynced it into intrepid, due to the newer upstream version in alioth svn not being in debian experimental yet. * Resume packaging work for the pieces needed for dmraid event monitoring. ==== Misc ==== * Cleared the debian-installer component merges that my name was next to, as well as the universe merges that I care about. * Updated some newly released gnome 2.25 accessibility packages. === Matthias Klose === * armel bootstrap * toolchain updates * bug triage === Michael Vogt === ==== SRU ==== * update compoiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported * SRU for the package description translations to jaunty-proposed ==== sponsoring ==== * Review/sponsor system-cleaner ==== apt ==== * fix apt pty problem with background processes (debian #463030) * Work on updating ddtp debian import script (debian does no longer publish the Translations tarball on ddtp.debian.net) ==== synaptic ==== * add (basic) support for screenshots.debian.net by adding a button fetch thumbs/full screenshots * hack a bit on screenshotMaker.py - a script that can create screenshots automatically and unattended in xvfb ==== popularity-conetest ==== * create backup of the data (we have a lot of it) * write code so that it can give the most popular packages that are not part of a meta-package (in g-a-i utils/analyzePopconData.py) ==== merges ==== * Merge cron, unzip, vorbisgain, upx-ucl, tracker, smartmontools, moin, libxslt, lockfile-progs, libgsf, lapack, aptitude, gpm, popularity-contest, apmd, alacarte, python-gdata, xsane (and submit changes to debian when appropriate) ==== update-manager ==== * look into libvirt and if the auto-upgrade-tester can be ported to it easily * setup auto-upgrade-tester for intrepid-jauny * Fix --ssh-key to install a ssh server in ubuntu-vm-builder and push to lp * fix sources.list inconsistencies on upgrade as discussed on ubuntu-devel * enable interpid->jaunty upgrades in the meta-release-development file (and test-upgrade to it) ==== misc ==== * research the various backup tools and look at the various solutions === Steve Langasek === ===== Release management ===== * finish getting the archive ready for jaunty * jaunty opening merges: emacs-goodies-el * preparations for alpha-1 ==== Packages ==== * further cleanup of PAM bugs * pick up assigned (== t-i-l) merges for jaunty: choose-mirror,cracklib2, djvulibre, mime-tools, wireless-tools, libpam-ldap ==== Misc ==== * aid with indoctrination of new kernel team members @ Portland sprint * Lexington November Nexus * Monday archive duties
