[Foundations] Release meeting 2011-11-25

[Colin Watson]

== What was done engineering wise? ==

 * binutils and GCC updates.
 * More work on eglibc 2.15 (in a PPA).
 * Perl 5.14 transition.
 * Made various archive sanity reports run more quickly and more
   responsively versus publisher runs.
 * More work on Upstart job logging; sorting out inotify handling in
   test code.
 * New ISO tracker (currently http://91.189.93.73/) largely working;
   daily builds are being posted to it automatically.
 * fuse merged (pending NEW processing), which should fix Edubuntu
   builds.

== What's about to land that might impact the other teams? ==

 * Please try to break the new ISO tracker (see above).

== Summary of bugs ==

We have no rls-mgr-p-tracking or rls-p-tracking bugs open for alpha-1 at
the moment.

== Dependencies on other teams, blocking items ==

 * Foundations and desktop probably ought to agree on
   https://launchpad.net/bugs/893842.  My inclination would be to go
   with the new group layout, but that desktop code should tolerate both
   old and new administrative groups, probably indefinitely (or else we
   need explicit transition code).

== Blueprints ==
