 * Still need to get some feedback from upstream devicekit folks. Looks
like pm-powersave isn't being called by devicekit-power and they aren't
planning to.
 * May need to call pm-powersave another way (maybe call it if anything
but kde4 is running)

    • console-tools #49031 (universe).
  • Fixed oem-config #163518 (.desktop files say OnlyShowIn=GNOME, should be NotShowIn=KDE;) - on the sponsorship list although only due to a different task on the same bug.

  • Finished introducing variable-width menu columns to gfxboot-theme-ubuntu, allowing me to fix #311699.

  • IS/platform review meeting.
  • Fixed casper #386010 (unionfs-fuse killed too early on live CD shutdown).
  • Hoovered up most of a casper patch series to fix snapshot resyncing, and commented on the rest (#384059, #384061, #384066, #384068, #384076).
  • Fixed grub-installer #385995 (sometimes tries to edit menu.lst even with GRUB 2).
  • Merged: anna, base-installer, cdrom-checker, clock-setup, debian-installer-utils, finish-install, grub-installer, installation-report, lilo-installer, lowmem, main-menu, net-retriever, network-console, partman-auto, partman-auto-crypto, partman-auto-lvm, partman-basicfilesystems, partman-crypto, partman-ext3, partman-lvm, partman-partitioning, partman-target, preseed, tzsetup, yaboot-installer

  • Honour casper's live_media_path configuration in ubiquity.
  • Added cdimage/livecd-rootfs support for variable casper initramfs compression methods, in preparation for a kernel version that will support LZMA initramfs decompression across the board.
  • Proposed patch for util-linux #383697 (mount.preinst uses lsb-release while unconfigured).
  • TB meeting (chaired).

Evan Dandrea

  • Ubiquity bug triage.
  • Helped rgreening get the KDE frontend merged into usb-creator.

  • Specification writing. All specs approved, awaiting for responses from others, or awaiting approval, with the exception of encrypted swap.
  • Started work on a UDS writeup for Larry Poon.
  • More work on migration-assistant base code.

GConf Error

  • Fixed a gconf error when logging in (383461) that arose because we referenced a gconf source location, but didn't make sure that it existed

Power Management

  • Continued working on removing ac.d and battery.d (385949)
  • Still need to get some feedback from upstream devicekit folks. Looks like pm-powersave isn't being called by devicekit-power and they aren't planning to.
  • May need to call pm-powersave another way (maybe call it if anything but kde4 is running)
  • Started looking at keypress events we can drop

rsyslog

  • Started working on replacing sysklogd with rsyslog
  • An initial version of the upgrade path is working (copy syslog.conf over). Need to make this use ucf
  • Worked on derooting it. Started work on a -U flag to drop privileges, but apparently upstream v4 has similar support built-in as a config flag. mbiebl says v4 likely to hit in Karmic timeframe
  • The above privilege-dropping doesn't help with klog, which needs root access. Implemented a simple config value to look at a different path and running a privileged dd instance that copies it over (as we do for sysklogd) to that path
