Agenda

Milestoned bugs

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

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
