= No Meeting This Week = == Activity reports == === Colin Watson === * Uploaded initial Eucalyptus installer support. Ongoing bug-fixes as testing became feasible. * Further discussion with GRUB2 upstream about keystatus interface design. Uploaded first plausible version to Ubuntu. * Uploaded preseedable LVM-on-RAID support. Working on wedging support for it into kickseed. * Merged: grub2 (twice) * Fixed mouseemu #419947 (mouseemu prevents use of multi-button mice). * Fixed hw-detect #251830 (don't install mouseemu on Intel Mac desktops). * Merged Dell Driver Injection Disk support (#341526). * Backported fix for console-setup #390292 (undefined kernel key code warnings) to Karmic. * Arranged for grub-installer to pass user kernel parameters through to grub2. * Miscellaneous installer updates for Alpha 5, especially translations. * Sponsorship: * rsyslog #407862. === Evan Dandrea === * Short week. Vacation on Monday and Tuesday. * Fixed some small bugs in the slideshow code. The slideshow is now fully functional and working on resolutions greater than or equal to 800x600, its intended target. * Spoke with the design team about getting their input on the slides. * Guided Roman on how he could best build on the work of the ubiquity-slideshow team to create a KDE slideshow package. * Followed up on the plugins merge. I was set to merge it in, but decided to hold off to give Mario and Colin more time to look it over. I spoke with Steve about it briefly and filed bug #419989 for the FFe. * Filed bug 419796 on devicekit-disks, which is preventing usb-creator from having a working format button. * Backported some debian-installer changes for bug 234185. * Fixes to usb-creator. === James Westby === ==== Distro tasks ==== * bzr 1.18 and associated packages uploaded to karmic. * Talked with dobey about oauth packages. * Many reviews/sponsoring/uploads for people who wanted things in before FF. ==== Distributed Development ==== * Followed up on a few Launchpad things that are waiting. * Spoke to jml about branch permissions. * Landed some fixes from Muharem. ==== Daily Builds ==== * bzr-builder uploaded to karmic. ==== Kerneloops ==== * kerneloops-daemon seeded. === Lars Wirzenius === * Work on getting apt to use zsync for updating Packages files.

There is an FFE for it, but will be pushed after Alpha 5 to minimize any risk. * Did a bunch of bug cleanup (closed out bugs that are fixed by my timezone work or no longer apply) * Investigated better mangling of user's real name into a POSIX username. Seems like we need a feature patch from upstream PyICU svn before we can properly fix this. ==== Rsyslog ==== * Fixed an annoying bug with permissions on output log files. If rsyslog received a HUP (as it does when rotating logs), it might not have been able to write to a root-owned syslog anymore. === Muharem Hrnjadovic === ==== Distributed development ==== * More tests and fixes for "merge-package" bzr command, see: - lp:~al-maisan/bzr-builddeb/locked-repo-updates - lp:~al-maisan/bzr-builddeb/missing-tests ==== Archive administration ==== ===== Syncs ===== * libio-compress-perl * f libio-compress-perl * f python-numpy * libtorrent-rasterbar * taglib * xboard ===== Component mismatches ===== Checked out a number of potential mismatches. It turned out neither of these were to be demoted to universe: * language-support-translations-*, in the process of being replaced by language-selector * ibus-qt/ibus-qt4 needed by Kubuntu * nvclock/smartdimmer needed by hal === Scott James Remnant === ==== Boot Performance ==== * Merged current debhelper with Steve and Joey's pass of a dh_installinit with Upstart support. Extended it to provide maintainer scripts that use proper Upstart commands, and do support optional replacement of init scripts of the same name * Hostname patched to support fallback default ("localhost") if the file doesn't exist or is empty, and no hostname is set. This eliminates all the need for work in the initscript/Upstart job. * Bulk of rcS and gdm-critical Upstart jobs packaged from max * Rewrote the upstart-event helper binary into an upstart-udev-bridge daemon that's somewhat more efficient since we don't need to fork/exec all the time * Added that to the Upstart source tree for the Ubuntu package * Began adding the "mountall" code, which needs some work to support the more complex configurations but works for the simple cases. === Steve Langasek === ==== Release management ==== * NEW processing for FeatureFreeze * UDW session on FFes * Alpha5 prep ==== Specs ==== * foundations-karmic-multiarch-support: knocked a number of items off the dpkg todo list; evaluated the current upstream status and took the decision to defer this until karmic+1 ==== Sponsorship ==== * pam (bug #285574) * boost1.37 (bug #371617) * net6 (bug #422149) ==== Misc ==== * Monday archive duties
