[Foundations] Release Meeting 2012-09-28

[Oliver Grawert]

== What was done engineering wise? ==

* look at webkit-1.91 build failure, not a binutils issue, > 4G archive 
  not supported (never was). needs webkit buildsystem changes
* investigate qt4-x11 ftbfs on arm* over the weekend. buildd issue, swapping
  to death. builds locally, so there must be extra load on the buildd.
* start quantal test rebuild
* fix or delegate ftbfs in main, now almost done, although the ftbfs pages 
  don't show progress (unapproved and proposed not shown)
* package libvigraimpex 1.8 to fix ftbfs (just two rdeps, so upgrade should be
  fine, tested).
* fix binutils bfd.h header inclusion, seen in package test rebuilds
* remove the va_list info/warning on arm, accepted upstream and put in gcc-4.7
* fix python2.7 regression
* libjpeg-turbo update to 1.2.1
* gcc-4.7.2 release packages
* python3.3 rc3 packages
* working on XDG_RUNTIME_DIR which has unfortunately still not landed; have had 
  a few false starts with the necessary pam module
* working on getting UEFI SecureBoot shim support landed
* uploaded a more-asynchronous mountall to Debian unstable that fixes some 
  problems in cloud init, and seems to hold together for the rest of us - and 
  might even make boot faster. testing welcome, I'll be asking for this in 
  quantal post-beta and pushing for a precise SRU
* adv-crypto reviewed and uploaded
* ongoing discussion on dmraid -> mdadm migration for Intel Raid
* upstart:
 - Wrote a stack of new unit tests (30 since last week) which have already found 
   a few issues
 - Currently investigating bridge restart and a suspected memory
* parts of the wiki updates for arm installations for final release
* d-i framebuffer issue on arm server installs is fixed
* fixed various flash-kernel bugs
* some zatab (allwinner) spare time hacking (would like to have a hand rolled 
  image ready before UDS)
* the new isotracker version landed in production in time for beta2
* LXC upstream work, reviewing patches, maintaining staging branch
* ported a few LXC scripts to using the python API instead of wrapping the commands
* some last minute fixes in Edubuntu to revert the shopping lens and the new launchers
* blogged about IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack setup on 3G 
  (http://www.stgraber.org/2012/09/24/dual-stack-3g-connections/)
* uploaded an isc-dhcp SRU to precise
* started looking into unbound/bind9 support in NetworkManager as potential 
  DNSSEC-aware replacement for dnsmasq
* fixed a bug in one of the thml file preventing the generation of pot files for 
  ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu. Manually imported the new ones in LP
* merged automake1.11 security fix
* finished and landed LP process-accepted-bugs-job branch.  This now seems to be 
  working fine, so we can kill off the old queue script after beta-2
* swtched to the new archive signing key.  Uploaded an ubuntu-keyring SRU as a 
  consequence, pending review
* fixed regression from last week's grub-installer merge
* co-announced new plan to use GRUB 2 for UEFI secure boot, and uploaded (mostly) 
  suitable packaging.  Created a grub2-signed package
* fixed the remaining LP UEFI publishing bugs, allowing us to stage signed UEFI 
  images in PPAs
* verified my apt extra-override-handling SRU from a while back
* more research on top-k for arbitrary date ranges. We have a reasonable
  solution, but I may implmenet something simplier just so we have a solution
  to the failing to load year view a bit sooner
* errors.ubuntu.com front page redesign and milestone lines on the average errors 
  per day graph landed, pending deployment
* implemented part of the reprocessing failed retraces work (RT 56342 pending 
  deployment) with that we'll be able to selectively run stacktrace address 
  signatures back through the retracing and bucketing process
* bug triage and testing of iso-testing bug reports
* update-manager, usb-creator bug triage
* tested and fixed apport bug patterns with python2
* setup a quantal iso-testing report using arsenal
