Please take care that any packages that you upload to main between now and the Alpha 1 release will help us in the goal of a high quality and timely alpha, and hold any disruptive or unnecessary uploads until after the alpha is out. Again, this means the primary focus should be on resolving these bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+bugs?field.milestone=2209 The number of bugs targeted to this early milestone is quite small, but there's plenty of other work to be done in getting the archive in a consistent state so that we don't have uninstallable packages for the alpha-1 milestone: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/PackageArchive#Consistency Remember that this is a "soft" freeze, so you are each responsible for making sure your uploads are appropriate - Launchpad will not be your safety net. Packages that are not seeded on the CDs (i.e., most packages in univ Steve Langasek 2008-11-19T06:09:30 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.announce/495 Dear Ubuntu developers, The expected release date of Jaunty Alpha 1 is next Thursday, November 20. Between end-of-year holidays and a late UDS this year (in December)[1], this makes for an unusual start to the release cycle, with our first milestone happening before the spec process is really even under way. As such, the targets for Alpha 1 are fairly modest, consisting mainly of merging the installer for Jaunty and making sure things are an installable state. But don't let that deter you if you have something great and immodest that you're planning to dazzle us with this week! We will continue to use a "soft freeze" for main for the Jaunty Alpha milestones[2]. This means that developers are asked to refrain from uploading packages between Tuesday and Thursday which don't bring us closer to releasing the alpha, so that these days can be used for settling the archive and fixing any remaining showstoppers. The "list" of bugs targeted for alpha-1 can be found at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaun Steve Langasek 2008-11-15T20:59:30 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.announce/494 Colin Watson 2008-11-04T21:05:01 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.announce/493 Hi everyone, Just a quick note to let you know that Ubuntu Open Week has been announced for the week of Mon 3 Nov - Fri 7 Nov in #ubuntu-classroom on Freenode.

There's great news if you use Launchpad to host Bazaar branches, plus there's the usual smaller new features and bug fixes. Slashing branch upload times ----------------------------- From now on, you may notice that uploading a branch to Launchpad is significantly quicker. With this release, we've introduced support for Bazaar's new stacked branches feature. Over to Launchpad Code developer, Jono Lange, for details: Stacked branches work just like normal branches but hold only the history that differentiates them from the project's mainline. So, if you upload a branch to a project that already has its trunk branch in Launchpad, you're uploading only the differences between your work and the trunk. Stacked branches mean that uploading a large project's code to Launchpad can now take just a couple of minutes. To use them, you need to upgrade your branches to Bazaar format 1.6 and run Bazaar 1.7 or l Matthew Revell 2008-10-16T09:54:23 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.announce/485 Colin Watson 2008-10-16T16:57:31 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.announce/484 We are one week out from the 8.10 release candidate and two weeks from the final release, so the archive is now frozen and will not thaw again before release. During the freeze, all uploads to main must be approved by a member of the release team, so if you have fixes that are important to get in and will need discussion, please do get in touch as soon as possible. Uploads to main should at this point focus on release-critical bugs only. Uploads to universe should follow the guidelines described here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-April/025259.html The list of release-critical bugs that we want to still try to resolve before the release candidate on October 23 is tracked here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+bugs?field.milestone%3Alist=1326 Additional bugs that are still considered "targets of opportunity" for the release are found at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+bugs If you have bugs which you believe should be listed there but aren't yet, ple Steve Langasek 2008-10-16T09:14:15 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.announce/483 Fellow Ubuntu Triagers!

On Thursday, October 16, the archive will be frozen, after which uploads to main will require approval from the release team and should be done only for changes which are critical for the release.
