Agenda

• Milestoned bugs

  • https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+bugs?field.milestone%3Alist=1323

• Milestoned features

  • https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/intrepid-alpha-5

• General feature update
• Known regressions

  • status of issues found in previous milestone: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/alpha4#Caveats

• Hardware testing
  • consequences of kernel 2.6.27 upload?
• ISO size
• Future issues expected to impact the release (e.g. major upstream changes pending)
  • This will be the first meeting following Feature Freeze, so is a good time to address any important specs that are still in progress and need to be considered for freeze exceptions (hopefully, none!)

Milestoned bugs

• Release-critical bugs milestoned for alpha-5

  • 250506 in consolekit assigned to pitti

  • 254042 assigned to cjwatson, no concerns about completing it on time for alpha-5

• List of all bugs targeted to intrepid

  • 247376 depends on fglrx updated for the new Xorg ABI; not targeted to alpha-5

Mobile Team

• daily images now being built from the mid seed
• installer work pending for mobile; ubiquity changes to land before alpha-5
• linux-lpia still based on Linux 2.6.26; will be investigating 2.6.27 as a solution for hanging apt-get update, after alpha-5
• several new source packages currently in NEW or REVU
  • authority delegated by motu-release to lool and ogra for freeze exceptions as needed
• decisions pending on choice of default media player, mail client, and IM client

Desktop Team

• 245383 GTK+ screen flicker issue assigned to seb128

• 252174 gvfsd-trash crasher tentatively targeted to alpha-5

• elisa 0.5 update planned before alpha-5
• lool to upload new upstream version of cheese

Kubuntu

• KDE 4.1.1 is released this week and will be landing Monday before alpha-5.
  • Knetworkmanager doesn't currently work with network-manager; Riddell looking into it
  • Kubuntu ISOs currently have plenty of room to grow, so the new upstream release should not be a concern for sizing

Server Team

• fix for 261847 in openjdk-6 needed, pulling in dbus/avahi into server installs; requires input from doko on proper resolution, milestoned for alpha-6

• 262264 regression in likewise-open, incompatible with the new PAM framework; suggested that Jerry talk to slangasek

• landscape-client almost done with security review and ready for inclusion

Kernel Team

• Call for testing of Linux 2.6.27 sent out

• Kernel team is tracking known upstream regressions in 2.6.27 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=11167&hide_resolved=1

• Regressions reported against Linux 2.6.27 by Ubuntu users are also tracked: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bugs?field.tag=regression-2.6.27

  • fglrx, nvidia are tracked as regressions by the team, but are not considered blockers for 2.6.27 in intrepid

• A fallback plan is in place in the event 2.6.27 is not ok for intrepid

• pgraner and heno_ have a call later to discuss hardware certification against 2.6.27

Foundations Team

• freeze exceptions requested or pending
  • new pulseaudio to match new alsa and new kernel
  • experimental python 3 packages (not by default, maybe not really FFe)
  • system-cleaner
  • usb-installer-images
  • dvd-performance-hacks
  • timezone map changes for ubiquity
  • openoffice.org 3 (again, not by default, parallel-installable)
  • xorg-options-editor needs promotion to main I think
• fglrx is on the watch list, but is entirely in upstream's hands right now

QA Team

• Smoke testing has revealed a problem with OEM mode on Kubuntu: 251634, targeted for intrepid.

• Concerns raised about the impact of Linux 2.6.27 on SRUs in intrepid.

MOTU Release Team

• motu-release has appropriate manpower or handling the intrepid freeze

• ongoing discussion about the last-minute FeatureFreeze upload rush

• FFe process for universe is mostly the same as for hardy
  • decisions about various package groups are again delegated to domain experts
  • bugfix-only new upstream releases will again be allowed for universe

ISO size

• stable and good

Action Items

• slangasek to investigate 255635

• slangasek to follow up with bryce on 197680

• mdz to file a new bug report about gnome-power-manager crashes and escalate to slangasek
• heno_ to report back on hardware certification status of 2.6.27
• cjwatson to follow up with bryce regarding xorg-options-editor MIRs
