* GRUB:

• Finally nailed #430141 (Vista is not showing up in grub2); turned
  • out to be a ubiquity bug.
• Show the boot menu if the previous boot (into Ubuntu) failed.
• Don't emit memtest86+ menu items if /boot is on a loop-mounted
  • device, e.g. Wubi (#435153).

• Installer:
  • Fixed base-installer #413135 again (Installer needs way to install
    • PAE kernel on i386 9.10 DVD).
  • Turned usplash on for the live CD (#434980).
  • Stop oem-config running all the time with new Upstart jobs
    • (#432180).
  • Fix a messy file-copy-blacklisting bug that broke boot loader OS
    • detection in ubiquity in some very strange ways (#436613).
  • Reorganise clock handling, in a further attempt to fix the class of
    • wrong-filesystem-timestamp bugs exemplified by #431786.
  • Fixed shell provision on live CD VTs (#434769).
  • Fixed tasksel regression #438546 (task list includes blank names).
  • Merged: partman-partitioning, base-installer (#435376)
• Eucalyptus:
  • tasksel update for new UEC task.
  • Lots of fixes to installer integration (better error handling,
    • user-setup/encrypt-home carry-over, euca_conf --discover-nodes fixes, IPv6 problems with euca_find_cluster (#436200)).
  • Tweaks to euca_conf operation to make initial installation
    • experience smoother.
  • Boot sequence adjustments.
• Converted usplash to Upstart (#434361). Not entirely without
  • incident, with a follow-up ubiquity bug, but on the whole this seems to have worked out rather well. Took nearly a full day of frequent reboots to figure it out though ...
• Got Wubi working at long last (#435153), although perhaps only for
  • me; Dave Morley is still having trouble.

Evan Dandrea

• Short week. Plumbers from the 23rd through the 25th. Swap day on

Monday to make up for United travel madness on Sunday.

• Sponsored an upload of ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu for Dylan.
• Lots of bug triage (this week and last, forgot to mention it in my

previous report).

• CD testing.

ubiquity

• Released two new versions of ubiquity.
• Fixed a minor bug: Add missing definition of self.controller for

the noninteractive page in the language plugin.

usb-creator

• Released a new version.
• Fixed two small bugs:
  • Modify adtext.cfg as well when adding options to the syslinux

configuration (LP: #317059).

• The persistence value is no longer passed around as a string.

Fix a check that assumed it was. This was causing the persistence option to always be written (LP: #436207).

James Westby

Distributed Development

• Fixed some more import failures.
• Asked to stop importing new branches by IS until they get
  • more disk space on codehosting. They estimate around 7 days until this is done.
• Pinged the LP team about the release process around DD.

Daily Builds

• Nothing this week.

Distro tasks

• Archive admin duty.
• Sponsoring from Bazaar branches.
• ISO testing.
