=== What was done engineering wise? ===

 * Networking:

  * Integrated resolvconf by default.

  * Fixed nasty Upstart logging bug.

 * Python:
  * python-defer, python-keyring, and python-qt4 now support Python 3.
  * python-debian port pending upstream review.

 * Defect analysis:
  * update-manager apport hook no longer double-gzips attachments.
  * Bug bot deals with corrupted packages where DpkgTerminalLog is in
    the bug description.
  * Improved ubuntu-qa-website's Launchpad integration so that bugs are
    commented on.

 * Release engineering:
  * Switched Ubuntu Studio to a live DVD.

 * Crash database:
  * Client now ready for security review.
  * Further discussion with IS on hardware configuration and deployment.
  * Further work on apport UI and retracing.

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

We're still looking into eglibc 2.15
(https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/glibc/+packages).

=== Release Notes ===

None for now.

=== Summary of bugs working on by team (reasonably reliable) ===

Alpha-2 rls-mgr-p-tracking bugs:
 * Bug:850264 ''[given a foreign architecture of i386 on amd64 machine,
   and an outdated libc, apt tries to remove libc-bin]'': Now in Debian
   experimental.  Making slow progress ...
 * Bug:912563 ''[ubiquity crashed with TypeError in
   partman_column_format: argument of type 'NoneType' is not
   iterable]'': Reproducing this bug locally is proving difficult.  I
   think I'm going to need remote access to an affected machine.
 * Bug:912558 ''[log.c Assert failed - err=>number == EIO]'': Finally
   dead, modulo a couple of build failures.

=== Dependencies on other teams, blocking items? ===

None.

=== Issues? ===

None for now.
