Sounds like we should be expecting at least a respin on alternates come Monday. @wxl | polka.bike c563 cac5 8be1 2f22 a49d 68f6 8b57 a48b c4f2 051a <div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Steve Langasek" <<a href="mailto:steve.langasek@ubuntu.com">steve.langasek@ubuntu.com</a>> Date: Sep 24, 2016 22:07 Subject: Re: Yakkety Yak (16.10) Final Beta Freeze To: "Nikita Yerenkov-Scott" <<a href="mailto:yerenkov.scott@gmail.com">yerenkov.scott@gmail.com</a>> Cc: <<a href="mailto:ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi Nikita, On Sat, Sep 24, 2016 at 11:15:51AM +0100, Nikita Yerenkov-Scott wrote: > It is now the 24th, what is happening with Final Beta?

The kernel that landed in yakkety this week caused critical regressions for the "alternate" installer, affecting Ubuntu Server and Lubuntu Alternate images. Resolving this issue will require a further kernel respin, which unfortunately was not discovered until the end of day Friday (after several respins had already been done), so there's no possibility of releasing these images until Monday. In the meantime, the archive remains in beta freeze state and the release team will do what we can to keep the archive freeze from impacting yakkety development unnecessarily, but some delays should be expected while we work to finish getting the beta into a releasable state. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
