Clear message

Here is a list of specific tasks and projects we're working on in the short term. If you have a suggestion or a general idea, add it to the IdeaPool instead.

If you want to help in one of these, either contact the assignee or assign the task to yourself if it is not assigned.

Don't hesitate to discuss any issues on the mailing list or the IRC channel. See the Contact page for more information.

When an item has been completed, remove it from this page and drop a note on the ReportingPage.

Triager corner

Triage openldap bugs

Assigned to: Ubuntu Server Team

Goal: Move all openldap bugs that are in a New, Undecided state to a Incomplete, Confirmed or Triagged state, with an Importance set.

Packager corner

Merges

See Merging for more information on the Merging process.

Here is a list of merges that look easy:

  • main
    • vsftpd

    • amavisd-new (Bug 379979)

  • universe
    • asterisk
    • heimdal
    • boinc

Get rid of old libdb versions

Assigned to: ScottKitterman

Goal: Migrate off of as many libdb versions as possible to libdb 4.6 so they can be removed from the archive.

Review the list of packages that need to be updated:

  • libdb 4.2 - remove the ones that are done:
    • kolab-cyrus-imapd (changes needed to support on disk format changes)

Note: To do the migration make sure its not using transactions: grep for transaction in the source code - if transactions aren't used, update the build-dep/depends. Otherwise, existing data have to be migrated to a new structure.

Add augeas lenses

Assigned to: Nxvl

Goal: Augeas has been already packaged, now we need to cover a set of lenses to manage the configuration files from the most common/used services.

Tester corner

Documentor corner

Update Ubuntu ServerTeam wiki pages

Assigned to: MathiasGug

Goal: Improve the pages to make it easy to contribute to the ServerTeam.

Track pages on help.ubuntu.com that need to be updated

Assigned to: Asommer

Goal: Keep track of server related page on help.ubuntu.com that need to be updated.

Currently focusing on pages related to Samba:

  1. ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto

  2. ActiveDirectoryHowto

  3. ActiveDirectoryWinbind-SADMS

  4. SettingUpSamba

  5. SettingUpSambaPDC

  6. LDAP-Samba PDC (for Linux and Windows)

  7. SambaFedoraDirectoryServerIntegration

  8. ComprehensiveSambaGuide

  9. Swat

  10. MountWindowsSharesPermanently

Some of the above pages cover the same material so it's probably a good idea to try and merge them into one and see about deleting the old content. Others can probably just be confirmed to work on Gutsy edited to conform to the WikiStyleGuide. Also, the SettingUpSamba page is mentioned on the WikiToDo page.

Assigned to: NealMcBurnett

Goal: Review the factoids offered by ubotto that relate to the sorts of questions that come up in #ubuntu-server and improve them.

Missing and perhaps useful factoids:

Update ServerGuide

Assigned to: Asommer

Goal: Review the ServerGuide and provide any updates that may be necessary.

The development version of the server guide can be found online.
