appdevs-desktop-n-software-center-ui-enhancements (5/0/5)

Targeted enhancements to the UI and experience for Software Center version 4.0. == Improved Unity integration == - Startup performance. - Showing how to launch newly-installed applications. - Disable "Find it in the menu" feature when running under Unity as it is not applicable there. - Improve user feedback during software installation/removal. == Improvements to the software purchase experience == - Better integration of the purchase experience into the application. - Improve user feedback during each phase of the purchase experience. - Deauthorizing your computer. - Make new for-purchase items show up in "What's New". == General Usability Improvements == - More helpful search screen for no results - Re-enable the default selected item when showing a listview. - Show category/subcategory when navigating to an item via search or "What's New". - Convert to use gsettings (sure, it's not a UI enhancement, but we'll track it here).

foundations-lucid-local-repo-support (8/2/10)

Several options exist for setting up a local mirror or cache of the Ubuntu archives (apt-mirror, debmirror, apt-cacher-ng, apt-proxy, approx...) but none of them is fully supported in main. Any site with more than 2 Ubuntu machines is likely to set up one of those, we should investigate options, promote to main and support the relevant one(s).

hardware-foundations-n-oem-config-user-experience (5/1/8)

This is a blueprint to address many issues with oem-config that OEMs have addressed as issues to the first user experience. - ) OEM config Usability issues 1) Configure wireless screen * This was bumped for other 10.04 but should get into 10.10 LP# 371444 2) Hover over text * This was bumped for other 10.04 but should get into 10.10 LP# 315648 4) When Windows Maximize text will disappear 5) When configuring system should not say "installing system" as it does today. Should say "configuring" or have no text at the top at all. 6) When system is configuring OEM config will not show the Slide Show * Evan says this is where slide show is not kept on th system. For OEMs like Dell they do keep slide show on the system and it's a great experience. 7) OEM-Config removal experience is not that great * fixed at the last minute for 10.04. But needs serious improvment for 10.04.

multimedia-desktop-n-xorg-general-planning (0/0/1)

Discussion of general X / mesa / libdrm plans for Natty. General decisions to make: * What release of X to target? * What release of mesa to target? * What release of -intel, -ati, -nouveau to target? * How do we decide when to install nouveau 3D by default? Natty-specifics queries: * What to do about r300c / r300g mesa DRI drivers * Will we need to do anything about r600c / r600g?

other-arm-n-userland-subarch-detection (3/0/3)

Currently, there is no standardized mechanism in userland to determine which specific subarchitecture we are on, and at least three different and unique implications of said detections. This spec moves towards moving a standardized detection method into the base installer, usable by any script.

Complete

other-arm-natty-improved-subarch-detection (1/0/1)

This specification deals with improving detection of armel sub-architectures for the 10.10 cycle so that boards do not have to be enabled individually. It also looks over the current implementation, its strengths and weaknesses, as well as possible improvements that can be made.

Complete

other-dx-n-2d-experience-fallback (0/0/1)

The blueprint captures the requirements and action items for delivering a smooth transition to the classical 2D Gnome 2.x Desktop (aka 2D Experience) when the system HW doesn't support Unity. The blueprint discusses when (requirements / conditions) and how the transition should happen. See UDS notes at the end of the whiteboard or in the related gobby document on gobby.ubuntu.com

Todo

other-foundations-n-apt-ordering (3/0/8)

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.

Todo

other-foundations-n-backports-notautomatic (2/0/6)

Currently if the Backports repository is enabled, all packages present in the pocket are considered for installation. Backports is not, by design, particularly suitable for all packages for all users. It is intended to be for users to install specific packages to gain specific features from a newer release. The goal should be for packages to only be installed when user requested or when required as a dependency of a requested package.

Todo

other-foundations-n-cd-boot (3/0/17)

GRUB should now support booting from CDs reliably, and its new graphical menu system was designed partly with the aim of being able to implement our CD menus. If successful, this would be easier to maintain than gfxboot.

Todo

other-foundations-n-cd-build-speed (2/1/7)

CD build speed has been creeping back up of late; attack it again.

Todo

other-foundations-n-disconnected-upgrade (1/0/9)

At the moment, an Ubuntu system can only be (release) upgraded by using apt (advanced user) or the upgrade-manager (GUI / CLI). The upgrade-manager depends on a file hosted on changelogs.ubuntu.com called meta-release, to determine whether an upgrade is possible and locate the upgrade tool tarball. This blueprint proposes that these files get moved onto normal mirrors so that a disconnected system with a complete mirror available (quite common in the developing world) can upgrade in a user-friendly manner.

Todo

other-foundations-n-update-manager-incremental-updates (4/0/11)

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

other-qa-n-testing-different-architectures (2/0/2)

A little bit of discussion on how to improve our testing that needs to be done against hardware that is difficult to get (powerpc, arm, etc.)

Complete

packageselection-arm-n-device-type-detection (1/0/1)

The current installation tools set a default hostname based on some device detection. The current detection algorithm is based parsing dmidecode and falling back to laptop-detect if that doesn't work. This is confusing if folks have a phone, a handheld, a laptop, a desktop, a set-top box, and a NAS laying about, and want to ensure these all have distinct names. The algorithm should be extended to attempt to detect several hardware components, or guess based on attributes of hardware components (a 2.5" 1024x600 screen is probably a phone and a 10" 1024x600 screen is probably a netbook), and generalised to work for all architectures, rather than relying on dmidecode.

Complete

packageselection-desktop-n-donations-for-free-software-through-software-center (0/6/6)

packageselection-foundations-n-btrfs-support (4/0/9)

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

packageselection-foundations-n-event-based-initramfs (0/0/7)

Initramfs is used for getting the root filesystem mounted and passing control the real init on the real root fs. Once the kernel boots, it passes control to the init in the initramfs. This init then runs scripts that are responsible for checking if the root device is configured properly and capable of mounting the root fs on it. In parallel, behind the scenes, udev runs and uses the help of blkid to run "admin" scripts like "mdadm", "lvm", "cryptsetup" to configure the root device. This is all event based, i.e the devices are configured as and when they become available. However the exception to this is configuring the LUKS devices, which are configured using cryptsetup. The script that runs cryptsetup, first checks up if the device which is to be configured as an encrypted device, is available. If not then it waits for some time and then it checks again if the device is available or not. If not then it will simply give up and get the user to a busybox prompt. If the device is available, then cryptsetup is called and the device is configured as a LUKS device. Once the device is available a udev event is generated and again, udev runs blkid and calls whatever admin script needs to be called if any other subsystem is stacked on top of this LUKS device. While all this is good, there are two observations to be made here: a. The invocation of cryptsetup is procedural and not completely event based. b. There is a repeatition of code for mounting, checking filesystems, crypt devices, LVM devices and so on - one code path is found in upstart jobs and the other in initramfs. So one idea that lets you remove this duplication and at the same time enables the LUKS devices in an event based fashion, is to make the initramfs event based in the true sense, by bringing in upstart in initramfs. This means that we copy the jobs in /etc/init/ in initramfs and run them at boot time. This brings in the simplicity, elegance and robustness of upstart in initramfs and also gives you more flexibility to handle the events in a way that you want

In Progress

packageselection-foundations-n-finish-upstart (7/0/15)

Upstart's design is too simple. The goal of the next version is to fix problems based on deployment experience while retaining the "Upstartishness", and reach an elegant, simple design that we don't need to change again: i.e. 1.0.

In Progress

packageselection-foundations-n-grub2-boot-framebuffer (11/1/21)

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.

packageselection-foundations-n-python-continuous-integration (0/10/11)

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). * build * run upstream unit test * 2to3 * report on ftbfs and test failures * against any/every python version

In Progress

packageselection-foundations-n-ratings-and-reviews-in-software-center (19/0/29)

To make software easier to choose in the Ubuntu Software Center, Launchpad should record ratings and reviews for applications and binary packages, submitted to it by users with an Ubuntu Single Sign-on account via the Launchpad API. There should also be a moderation system for speedy removal of inappropriate reviews.

packageselection-foundations-n-robust-python-packaging (6/0/7)

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 However, in light of PEP 3147, it's likely that the work items identified for Lucid will not be relevant for Maverick. That's open for discussion. This combines the blueprints: * https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-m-python-no-symlinks * https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-m-python-cx-freeze for UDS-M scheduling purposes.

Will this 4.6 package need to be built from Linaro GCC for compatibility? Do we want to use Linaro GCC for 4.6 even if not required? What is the timeline for delivering a Linaro GCC 4.6 release for inclusion in Natty?

Todo

packageselection-n-network-stack (1/0/2)

How can we improve the general networking / getting online experience we give users in Natty? We should select whether to still use dhcp3 as default or move on to isc-dhcp 4, discuss upgrade to wpasupplicant 0.7, NetworkManager / ConnMan versions, etc.

ubuntutheproject-foundations-n-cdimage-ports-consolidation (3/0/3)

Currently, each flavour has a ports/ directory, separating some architectures from others. This is sometimes confusing to users looking to test various images, and sometimes confusing to administrators looking to add or remove various images. Flavour coordinators often forget for which architectures their images are built, leading to gaps in ISO verification. Consolidation of the /ports/ directories into the regular flavour directories would help provide a more accurate overview of the images made available for each flavour. Mirror administrators are already expected to identify which architectures they prefer, so there should be little impact.
