## List new action items  * UbuntuSpec:foundations-lucid-software-raid-in-ubiquity-for-desktop-install - medium priority, running out of time, may need to defer

 * UbuntuSpec:foundations-lucid-jockey-support-in-ubiquity - medium priority, expecting to defer
 * UbuntuSpec:foundations-lucid-software-center-repository-based-index - may not make it, in which case we'll need a client-side workaround, or external PPAs won't get to benefit from icons
 * UbuntuSpec:foundations-lucid-distributed-development - various useful bzr features won't land in the next week, but perhaps not for lucid anyway

Activity reports

Barry Warsaw

  • Sprinting.
  • Computer Janitor refactoring; dbus service and cli completed. Will be working on updating the gtk ui next.
  • Research on Launchpad Answers application for use by ratings-and-reviews. Submitted preliminary branch for review. That was approved so will land that today.
  • Began work on next Launchpad branch in support of ratings-and-reviews in Software Center. Will have pre-imp discussion with Curtis on that today and should have branch ready for review by EOW.
  • Updated PEP 3147 for supporting multiple installed Python versions.
  • Pycon 2010 prep.

Colin Watson

Lucid sprint.

  • foundations-lucid-reliable-device-id-in-grub:
    • More DM-RAID probing fixes.
    • Finished and landed. One or two problems so far, but nothing too major.
  • foundations-lucid-fix-iscsi-root:
    • Fixed initramfs network problems.
    • Discussed test plan with Ara (QA).
    • One nasty bug remains, that will probably need another installer dialog or something along the lines of nobootloader to fix.
  • foundations-lucid-gfxboot-update:
    • Discussed greeter requirements with Cody (DX).
  • foundations-lucid-dynamic-cdrom-handling:
    • Handle new details of media-change requests in apt-setup.
    • Stop adding /cdrom to /etc/fstab, finishing this thanks to Michael's work. Whee!
  • casper/debconf optimisations, with Jamie (mobile). Shaved about a third off the boot-to-X time, which is particularly noticeable on armel.
  • Various seed discussions, mainly with server team.
  • Miscellaneous bug-fixes:
    • Fix list-devices regression from dmraid probing work (#514595).
    • Stop checking ext2 filesystems using libparted (#517349).
    • Intel AES-NI support in OpenSSL (#485518).
  • Merged: dpkg-cross
  • DMB meeting (chaired).

Distributed Development

  • Spent the sprint talking with lots of people about this, both getting feedback and discussing ways to help them achieve what they want. Lots of good ideas came out of it and I am working on some of them now.
  • Fixed conflicts in the importer to be more useful:
    • It now doesn't crash after every conflict it detects, meaning that a conflict doesn't stop development.
    • It's a little more robust against false-positives too.
    • It now files merge proposals for conflicts, meaning that we get the diff inline which makes it more obvious, and will also integrate better with our workflow in future.
  • I fixed some issues that made it difficult to go from a branch of upstream to using merge-upstream on it. With a bit of coaching Scott and Didier did this and liked the result. I put some code in to make it easier for the next people to do it.
  • Discussions with Rob about looms and how much work would be involved in switching to them.
    • Realised that having the .dsc tell you the revision id that the package was built from will make it easier to transition, so I will work on that.
