Overview |
Status |
arm-m-cross-compilers (1/0/1) |
Toolchain patch merge into the archive is in progress. |
Complete |
arm-m-memory-footprint (1/0/1) |
Preliminary investigation is done; now focusing on manual profiling and basic bootchart integration to identify Ubuntu/linaro components which need attention. Bootchart packages with experimental memory usage logging support can be found in Dave Martin's PPA: see https://launchpad.net/~dave-martin-arm/+archive/ppa |
Complete |
arm-m-tool-chain-selection (2/0/2) |
Done |
Complete |
xdeb 0.6 can now resolve/build only the specified packages (using --only-explicit) but it only uses native packages file for dependency resolution, not target arch packages file. It needs support for multiple architecture package-file downloading and use to be added. pdebuild-cross(using internal xapt) does now work on Ubuntu and installs correct dependencies. However this is not yet in maverick. |
Complete |
|
We've split this into 2 blueprints. 1. Implementation planning (this blueprint) 2. Process and Policy - now here: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-m-post-release-app-process |
Todo |
|
UI enhancements planned for Software Center version 3.0. |
Complete |
|
foundations-m-686-compile (2/1/3) |
Compile for i686 as the default on i386 (instead of i486). |
Complete |
foundations-m-apt-ordering (0/5/5) |
It appears that under some circumstance the apt ordering algorithm fails (e.g. bug 571030 , #516727 or #566584). We should take the opportunity to write verification code that ensures we never violate the constrains. |
Postponed |
foundations-m-btrfs-support (4/0/12) |
We need to know what pieces we need, and what isn't done. At the very least, we add support for this with the usual caveats. |
Todo |
foundations-m-cd-build-speed (0/0/7) |
CD build speed has been creeping back up of late; attack it again. |
Todo |
foundations-m-grub2-boot-framebuffer (6/1/15) |
GRUB2 supports programming a VBE mode in the boot loader and telling the kernel about it, causing the kernel to use a framebuffer at boot. With Linux 2.6.34, vesafb/efifb can hand over smoothly to a KMS driver, allowing us to assemble all of this into something very close to a flicker-free boot splash process. |
Todo |
foundations-m-gsoc-usbcreator (6/6/12) |
This is master blueprint of all deliverables for usb-creator GSoC project and auxiliary tasks related to GSoC project. |
Complete |
Command line frontend for usb-creator |

Todo |
foundations-m-multiarch-support (1/0/1) |
gcc, eglibc bootstrapped packages available; multiarch apt support in experimental; waiting for dpkg |
Complete |
This is a blueprint to address many issues with oem-config that OEMs have addressed as issues to the first user experience. |
Todo |
|
foundations-m-package-culling (4/0/5) |
Find and aggressively deal with packages whose merges have been lagging for several releases. |
Todo |
It would be good to have some kind of CI framework for testing Python packages, specifically centered around transitions in major versions within the 2 and 3 families, as well as compatibility with Python 3 (perhaps via 2to3). Part of the idea includes promoting best practices for upstream authors so that consistency is encouraged (e.g. 'python setup.py test' works). |
Postponed |
|
foundations-m-python-versions (5/2/13) |
Python 3 is the future. Python 2.7 is the last Python 2 and it will be released before Maverick is out. Should we switch to Python 2.7 in M and what needs to happen before we can get to Python 3 as the default? |
Todo |
This is a carryover and scheduling combined blueprint for making packaging of Python on Maverick more robust. It carries on the deferred blueprint from Lucid: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-lucid-robust-python-packaging |
Todo |
|
The current application list does not scale well when it needs to display a huge number of packages at once (e.g. ~30k). Rewrite it so that rows gets added as they become available (maybe moving the actual search into a dbus backend). See lp:~mvo/softwarecenter/dynamic-adds for a prototype that works entirely with the event loop |
Complete |
|
foundations-m-software-center-dynamic-testing-improvements (4/0/5) |
Test for performance regressions, evaluate something like mango for automatic GUI testing. We should also use the session to talk about code review. |
Todo |
Will cover the following areas: |
Todo |
|
foundations-m-spring-cleaning (12/2/30) |
Right after an LTS release is a good time for an aggressive cleanup of things we don't need or that should be extensively refactored. |
Todo |
foundations-m-uefi-support (8/0/10) |
Support booting on systems using UEFI firmware. |
Todo |
Various improvements to update-manager: - run inside screen on server mode ? or leave that to the admin? show message! - ufw allow 9004 when run in server mode with additional ssh - easier upgrades via usb key (update-notifier cdrom like media detection, part of apt-cdrom ?) - automatic removal of demoted packages ? (e.g. xsane/simple-scan, f-spot/gthumb) - better UI for demoted packages (part of the final screen)? - slideshow - morphing windows |
Todo |
|
Instead of processing all updates in one go in update-manager, split them into the smallest possible chunks to save diskspace on low-memory systems. This also makes it trivial to implement a "cancel" button in the upgrade that will just stop the current chunk. |
Todo |
|
make update-notifier a more modular design (probably with vala), as it has out-grown to be a update-notifier since some time. |
Complete |
|
Identify testing infrastructure that can be shared across our projects. |
Todo |
|
Make GRUB2 the default when used with Ubuntu 10.10 or later source ISOs. Add additional polish to the UI. |
Postponed |
