(lp:~barry/python/pep3147) * prep for python 2.6.5 final (due out on friday) === Colin Watson === * Sponsorship: * vim #509900. * hostname #523588. * emacs23 #444094. * Migrated to parted 2.2, in both Debian experimental and Lucid. (Awaiting Debian release team approval before putting it into Debian unstable; looks like it could take a while.) Based on this, arranged for partman to use optimal alignment constraints when creating new partitions or maximising an extended partition (#530071). * Fixed grub-installer partition offset handling for GRUB Legacy. * Tried a hardy->lucid upgrade, and fixed a couple of bugs that showed up, including a messy libc6/findutils/dpkg dependency loop which I avoided in findutils. * Upgraded to grub2 1.98. * Fixed klibc (#534281) and libtommath (#534293) build failures. * dpkg performance/reliability/security backports (#442114, #512096, #532445). (The fsync change turned out to regress performance; discussing upstream.) * Various ubiquity bug-fixes (#531864, #535630, some small unfiled ones). * Ported console-setup to udev/upstart (#524439). This included extending loadkeys to try to find a non-raw-mode console by itself. * Updated installation-guide for Lucid (#501572, #415469, #496554). * Fixed an infinite loop in blkid (#528073). === Evan Dandrea === * Fixed a bug in usb-creator that surfaced with the move to parted2.1. * Brought back the resize progress dialog in ubiquity that went away when we hid all progress dialogs on the automatic partitioning page. * Made the strings for the keyboard query widget translatable. * Fixed the focus grab on the next button on ubiquity startup. * Hunted down bug 534473 (apt-setup selecting the wrong CD mountpoint), thanks to sabdfl lending me his usb disk. * Looked into a bug for bigjools that turned out to be 528667. * Michael Forrest is working on a simplified version of usb-creator for Mac, but separate from the usb-creator codebase. Helped him with that a bit. * Created a new LabelledEntry subclass of GtkEntry to provide hints on the user setup page. Freeze exception request filed as bug 537986. * Working with Michael, Ken, and Otto to get the time zone map updated and fixed around India. * Imported translations from gnome-panel to let us strip the seconds from the time zone map time. Freeze exception request filed as bug 538156. * Created a password strength meter for the user setup page. Freeze exception request filed as bug 537995. * Fixed the bug whereby we weren't setting the language for the live environment when exiting ubiquity. * Fixed some small bugs in ubiquity (thanks pycheck). * Worked on moving the partition bars on the automatic partitioning page to sit directly under the option they reflect. Still a work in progress. === Gary Lasker === * Was pulled in for OEM tasks for much of the week: * Time allocation: 80% OEM, 20% platform * Software Center * Bug work, triage, fixes * Cleaned up some fixme's in partner channel code * Weekly call with mvo and mpt === James Westby === ==== Distributed Development ==== * Quiet on the bugfixing front, there seem to be few problems that people are hitting currently. * Got the latest code in to lucid (thanks Jelmer). * Have a couple of branches to merge. ==== Other ==== * A chunk of sponsoring. * Launchpad hacking to fix a few important issues for us. * Spoke with Jos about opportunities on the server. * Archive admin duty. === Loïc Minier === === Matthias Klose === * two new lucid test installations * llvm, clang, llvm-gcc-4.2 updates from the 2.7 branch * again, some toolchain updates, too many test builds * openjdk update to the icedtea6 trunk; will become the 1.8 release; volunteered as 1.8 release manager. * python bug triage * python bug fixes and updates in preparation for the coming subminor release 2.6.5 and 3.1.2. === Michael Vogt === ==== software-center ==== * work on ec2 rnr instance (setup, debug failures) * upload reviews branch into software-center PPA and make it work against reviews ec2 instance * add gnome-app-install transitional package * work on review-stats branch (lp:~mvo/rnr-server/reviews-stats) * Prepare ratings&reviews call * upload new version with new theme and notifiy ubuntu-docs * cherry-pick progress bar improvements from michaelforrest (thanks!) ==== update-manager ==== * debug/fix #415026 (fold do-release-upgrade --check and check-release-upgrade into the same program) * work on "do-release-upgrade" * test upgrade on real HW * document "nomodeset" kernel cmdline workaround in ubuntu wiki * analyize failure * Debug/report i830 based graphics failure #534375 * move XF86Config-4 away on upgrade (really really outdated) * merge fixes from Wesley Schwengl (thanks) * import updated translations from rosetta * Debug/fix(?) update-manager/apport issue #369951 ==== apt ==== * Apt: add "oldlibs" to Apt::Never-Mark-AutoRemove * review/sponsor SRU for python-apt (#531876) with persia * Python-apt: debug/fix FTBFS * look at download problem with > 4GB (#510543) * debug timeout failure (#517797) * Python-apt: review/merge latest debian-sid changes and upload to PPA * Python-apt: test new merge (in ppa:mvo/python-apt) * Apt: debug/fix #502641 (apt-get source version selection) * fixe three letter language codes * fix sudo/http_proxy interaction (#432631, #391409) ==== beta-1 ==== * run app-install-data/command-not-found updates ==== misc ==== * comment on Mirrors RT #9459 * Apturl: port from gtkhtml2 to webkit (part of lucid-depulication) * Kvm: ran into #531823 and test fix * Gdebi: new 0.6.0 version ready for lucid (fixes only) ==== review/sponsoring ==== * Ubumirror: review/sponsor upload * Review/sponsor/upload app-install-data-partner package * Review/merge update-manager dpm, barry branches * Review/merge update-manager LTR fix * Review/sponsor computer-janitor UI fix (#536908) === Scott James Remnant === === Steve Langasek === ==== Release management ==== * FFe processing * Preparations for beta-1 ==== Packages ==== * sync pinyin-database to get pinyin packages installable on DVD again * mass-rebuilds for NBS: libhdf5-openmpi-1.8.4, libhdf5-serial-1.8.4 * transfig: FTBFS fix * x11-apps: fix conffile prompt on upgrade from hardy (Bug:518045) * handhold plymouth for soname change * plymouth bug triage in preparation for beta * fix casper to work with plymouth (Bug:506418; Bug:500198) * tweak ruby-pkg-tools so it's suitable for MIR ==== Misc ==== * archive admin duties * look into the Kashmir map question
