- camera handling and USB disk mounting now working with the new permissions setup
- apport re-enabled by default
- sound events currently not working
- langpacks not yet available for intrepid
pdf-as-standard-print-job-format spec pending, should not be disruptive
printerdriverautodownload spec postponed
Kernel Team
- new kernel upload planned for today, no ABI changes planned
- BenC investigating gfx weirdness with uvesafb (affects usplash), not a blocker for alpha-4
Foundations Team
- X input hotplugging is done
NetworkManager 0.7 is done
- should get some liveCD testing using images including the new NM
- compcache postponed to after alpha-4
- ubiquity 1.9.8 pushed for alpha-4, but the installer team is all on vacation next week so don't break the installer!
- OOo slipping until alpha-5
Server Team
- no blockers
- landscape-client, likewise-open, and tomcat6.x all being worked on before alpha-4
QA Team
daily ISOs being successfully smoke tested: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/DailySmoke
Mobile Team
- nothing new to report; mobile expected to be on-track wrt the freeze
MOTU-Release Team
- ongoing discussions among MOTU about cruft removal
- process should be improved to notify MOTU about packages demoted from main, so that they can be considered for archive removal entirely if appropriate rather than being "orphaned" in universe
- REVU has been slow this cycle, so the number of new packages for intrepid is expected to be small
Ubuntu 8.04.2 schedule
- 8.04.1+6 months is right after Christmas, which is awkward
- cjwatson suggests aiming for late January, and to begin preparation around mid-November
- goals expected to be less ambitious than for 8.04.1
- cjwatson will send out a note to remind folks that 8.04.1 was a special case, and not all work should be mirrored to hardy
- settled on Jan 22 as the Ubuntu 8.04.2 release date
Action Items
- dendrobates to follow up with mathiaz about a samba 3.2 blurb for the Technical Overview
mvo to investigate 255545
- pitti to coordinate with tkamppeter to resolve ghostscript package bloat issue
- asac to email ubuntu-devel-announce with directions for testing
slangasek to follow up with kirkland on patch for bug 33649
heno to follow up with davmor2 on 253686
- slangasek and ScottK to discuss with ubuntu-qa about tools for identifying work needing done (e.g., NBS rebuilds)
