[Foundations] Release Meeting 2012-07-13

[Oliver Grawert]

== What was done engineering wise? ==

* many of us are in nicaragua at debconf this week...
* finishing LP API queue client
* migrated admin-tools to the new API (new-binary-debian-universe,  
  kernel-overrides) or dropped them (new-remove-duplicates)
* auto-sync was fixed to take advantage of new PackageUpload API work
* landed work to automatically copy package description translations 
  between pockets
* some progress on converting the server image to use a squashfs for 
  the base system.
* lots of work on the debconf GTK+ redesign   
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#When_there_is_a_Debconf_prompt
* a new set of tests around the dialogs was built
* documenting how people can contribute to errors.ubuntu.com was 
  started under https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker/Contributing
* apport fix for parsing DpkgTerminalLog in python 3
* an apt-clone modification to remove usernames and passwords for apt 
  source files was uploaded
* ubuntu-release-upgrader modification to gather apt-clone system state 
  again
* armhf+mx5 images finally build again, we dont have many testers for 
  this arch so cant say if it works yet
* many fixes for ac100 images (still not 100% done though, there is a 
  kernel issue)
* packaging a new nvidia-tegra hardfloat driver (v15 final) has started
* some work on foundations-q-hwpack-integration
* more apparmor improvements in quantal for containers
* implemented clone() in python LXC API
* os-prober was merged
* merging of open-iscsi
* ARB app review for the app showdown

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

== Dependencies on other teams, blocking items ==

* having only one livefs builder for ARM is really hindering
development, the machine is nearly constantly busy with standard builds
so manual testbuilds for code changes are close to impossible, IS is
supposed to have/get another mandabox panda machine, it is not clear
where this stands.

* bug 1023174 needs special attention from the kernel team, please take
a look.
