[Colin Watson]

== What was done engineering wise? ==

 * Containers:
  * LXC now works properly with apparmor blocking most of the known
    security issues.
  * Released arkose 1.5.1 (bugfix and translations update).

 * Archive and release management:
  * Major queuebot improvements.
  * Removed one of the two remaining reasons archive admins need full
    write access to the archive.
  * Landed Launchpad branch to open up -proposed for use during
    development (pending deployment).
  * Landed lp-buildd performance improvements.
  * Working with IS to reallocate Beagles as livefs buildds.

 * ARM:
  * Uploaded pvr sgx driver.
  * Stopwatched initramfsless boot on panda to serial login prompt: with
    initramfs 50s, without initramfs 25s.  Still need to test the
    minimal initrd case.

 * Boot and services:
  * Upstart 1.5 release, Ubuntu merge, and documentation updates.

   during Ubuntu server upgrade")

   failures when they conflict with non-Ubuntu packages")

   enabled")

   installation")
