[Foundations] Release Meeting 2012-08-17

[Oliver Grawert]

== What was done engineering wise? ==

* stateful re-exec in upstart now working in a rudimentary fashion.
* attempting to make code work with json-c 0.9 problematic in that it 
  won't work on 64-bit systems without some trickery. Current feeling is
  to mandate json-c 0.10.
* continuing release work on 12.04.1
* fixed 10.04 to 12.04 upgrades using media only
* uploaded a libxml-sax-perl fix and fixed edubuntu-artwork
* implemented package list for all flavours to be used for the supported
  flag: http://people.canonical.com/~stgraber/supported-packages/lists/
* implemented upload permissions report for the DMB at: 
  http://people.canonical.com/~stgraber/permissions/
* sponsored upload of kexec-tools so it works with our current 
  vmcoreinfo-less packages
* finalizing appmenu-gtk for multi-arch
* merges of dash, btrfs-tools, boost-mpi-sour1.49, boost1.49, e2fsprogs,
  partman-crypto, lvm2 in progress
* mdadm SRU is finally fully verified and promoted into -updates
* python2.7 and python3.2 updates, commit some pending patches upstream
* gcc-4.7 cross fixes
* binutils aarch64 test build
* openjdk-7 merges
* participation in linaro connect week (virtual conference)
* bug triage of iso-testing bug reports
* bug triage of memtest86+ bug reports
* updated meta-release file to point to precise-updates instead of   
  precise-security
* updated meta-release-lts-development on changelogs.ubuntu.com
* fixed issue with apt-clone in precise-proposed and python2.7 vs 
  python2.6 syntax
* fixed bugs that cropped up in the new errors.ubuntu.com
* errors.u.c set the y-axis to 0 to fix deceptive graphs
* errors.u.c correctly escape the problem identifiers so that 
  failed-to-retrace problem pages do not raise an exception
* fix the month view of the most common problems page
* modified oops-repository to start recording unique user counts on a
  per-release basis (so we don't have to keep back-populating)
* fix to whitelist the retracer APIs in open ID. We now have:
  https://errors.ubuntu.com/retracers-results/
  https://errors.ubuntu.com/retracers-average-processing-time/
* live-installer works fine with flash-kernel again
* started with /etc/default/flash-kernel implementation and transition 
  from boot.scr to preEnv.txt for teh installed arm images
* tested linux-ti-omap4 3.5 port from ppisati on server and desktop, 
  works fine apart from the known issues on bug 1035289

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

    Assertion !xcb_xlib_unknown_req_in_deq failed in 
    dequeue_pending_request"

== Dependencies on other teams, blocking items ==

* omap4 PVR driver still missing (and unlikely to work OOTB with the 
  new 3.5 omap4 kernel, linaro is on it), due to the drop of unity-2d
  all new quantal arm desktop installations are unusable from now on

* compiz on GLES/arm still missing (and untestable until omap4 PVR 
  driver works)
