[Steve Langasek]

  *Thursday, August 10, 2017*

This newsletter is to provide a status update from the Ubuntu Foundations 
Team.  There will also be highlights provided for any interesting subjects 
the team may be working on.


If you would like to reach the Foundations team, you can find us at the 
#ubuntu-devel channel on freenode.


    Highlights

* Updated cloud images have been released with fix for CVE-2017-7533

* https://github.com/OddBloke/jenkins-job-linter has been released, to lint 
  jenkins-job-builder output


    The State of the Archive

* After no small amount of effort, the perl 5.26 and gcc-7 transitions 
  migrated to artful on the 10th, unblocking many of the packages that had 
  been stuck in -proposed.

* As GCC 7 is now the default compiler in artful, the build failures 
  reported at 
  https://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs/rebuilds/test-rebuild-20170706-gcc7-artful.h
  tml now apply to 17.10.  Please help us resolve these failing packages for 
  the release.

* Next in line we have the Qt 5.9 transition.  Look for more news about 
  this next week!


    Upcoming Ubuntu Dates

* 17.10 Feature Freeze - August 24, 2017
