12.04.2 status

[Colin Watson]

Dear developers,

precise-proposed is now frozen for 12.04.2.  Any remaining uploads must
be critical for the point release.  If you have any doubt, consult with
me or Adam Conrad on #ubuntu-release.

The focus should now be on completing SRU verification
(http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html) and other
manual and automated testing, especially of the major hardware
enablement work (enablement kernel, enablement X.org stack, UEFI Secure
Boot).  Early next week I will start putting together updated release
notes, and will welcome assistance from product leads.

A rough timeline from here is as follows:

  Now
    Images built from -proposed; smoke testing; find and fix blockers;
    move verified fixes to -updates.  Accepting uploads into -proposed
    requires signoff from Colin or Adam.

  Between 2013-02-01 and 2013-02-07, as appropriate
    Start building images from -updates rather than -proposed.

  2013-02-07
    Most changes should now be verified and in -updates.  Build
    candidate images and run at least all mandatory tests.  Images
    respun only on demand with signoff from Colin or Adam.

  2013-02-14
    Release!

Thanks for your assistance,
