Agenda
- Milestoned bugs
- Milestoned features
- 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
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
