Colin Watson

• Merged: choose-mirror (tedious), rootskel, debian-installer (tedious), partman-auto-crypto, partman-ext3, ttf-cjk-compact, partman-partitioning, partman-target, bsdmainutils, openssh, lowmem, partman-auto, partman-auto-lvm, partman-crypto
• Synced: partman-lvm, partman-md
• Upgraded mklibs' symbol handling to cope with new binutils/eglibc.
• A good deal of SRU processing and archive administration.
• Spent the latter part of the week upgrading Debian's grub2 packaging to a current snapshot and doing a bug trawl. It's got into a sufficiently bad state to be attracting attention on debian-devel, and nobody else is really in a position to deal with it. Most of the bugs are relevant to Ubuntu as well anyway, and we were going to need a newer snapshot as a base for development work in Maverick.
• Fixed several undefined-behaviour buglets in GRUB, noticed while watching interminable compile runs.
• Fixed grub-probe to work with symbolic links under /dev/mapper as well as with real block devices.

Evan Dandrea

• Discussions with Debian over including usb-creator (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582884)

• Reviewing usb-creator branches from Dmitrijs.
• Meeting with Mark and Michael to discuss the status of the installer redesign specification.
• Specification drafting. All that's left is the work items for the installer redesign spec (blocked on the spec being finished) and getting others to fill in foundations-m-upgrade-and-install-testing.
• Work on foundations-m-upgrade-and-install-testing.
  • Hudson research.
  • Wrote code to remaster an ISO with the built-from-tree ubiquity, sikuli dependencies, and Hudson slave machinery.
  • Wrote a plugin to Hudson to put a slave offline as part of the build step, so we can safely physically reboot slaves and let jobs queue up until they've finished booting.
  • Added support for shared locks to the locks-and-latches Hudson plugin. This will let us create both "build ubiquity" and "test ubiquity" jobs that take a lock, but slaves of the "test ubiquity" job can still execute at the same time.

• Uploaded a patch to bash-completion and ultimately reverted it when it was found to have some unintended side-effects that I don't believe we can work around (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/maverick-changes/2010-June/001077.html).

• Made a 10.04 USB image for the shop.
