Main frozen for Alpha 6

[Steve Langasek]

Dear developers,

Jaunty Alpha 6 is scheduled for this Thursday, Mar 12, so the milestone
freeze is now in effect.  Please take care that any packages you upload to
main between now and the Alpha 6 release will help us in the goal of a high
quality and timely alpha, and hold any disruptive or unnecessary uploads
until after the alpha is out.  Again, this means the primary focus should be
on resolving these bugs:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+bugs?field.milestone=2214

The number of bugs targeted to this milestone as blockers is small, but
there's plenty of other work to be done in getting the archive in a
consistent state so that we don't have uninstallable packages for the
alpha-6 milestone:

Remember that this is a "soft" freeze, so you are each responsible for
making sure your uploads are appropriate - Launchpad will not be your safety
net.[1]

Packages that are not seeded on the CDs (i.e., most packages in universe,
with the exception of UbuntuStudio, Xubuntu, and Mythbuntu packages) may be
uploaded as usual.

Cheers,
--
