During the freeze, all uploads to main must be approved by a member of the release team [1], so if you have fixes which are important to get in, please do get in touch as soon as possible. Uploads to universe require a manual push through the queue, but are not subject to release management approval. Issues which are important for the beta release will be tracked by the release team here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+bugs?field.milestone=1325 Thanks, -- Steve Langasek On behalf of the Ubuntu release team [1] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-release Steve Langasek 2008-09-25T17:20:28 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.announce/475 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Fellow Ubuntu Lovers!

Please refer to the milestone overview in Launchpad for a list of remaining items: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+bugs?field.milestone%3Alist=1325 If you have bugs on this list, please fix them at the earliest possible opportunity, or (in consultation with other developers and the Ubuntu QA team) un-milestone them if they are not required for beta. If you have bugs you think should be on this list, talk with the Ubuntu QA team or the Ubuntu release team about having them milestoned. Please also do not lose sight of the list of bugs affecting the release as a whole: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+bugs The beta freeze will begin tomorrow, September 25th; after that point uploads will require approval from the release team, which will generally only be granted if they fix beta-critical bugs.

While we expect alphas to include a fair number of bugs, and rely on your continued support and testing to help resolve these bugs for Ubuntu releases, bugs that damage hardware are quite another matter. As a result of this bug we must recommend that users do *not* use Intrepid alphas, including the LiveCDs, on machines with Intel GigE ethernet. Efforts to safeguard the hardware of affected users are ongoing, though initially this will consist of a workaround in the form of disabling the e1000e driver. Alpha 6 CD images will not be re-issued for this fix, so affected users are advised to either use daily CD images once a resolution is in place, or to wait for the release of the 8.10 beta, due to be released on October 2. Further discussion of this issue can b Steve Langasek 2008-09-24T06:22:09 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.announce/472 Hello Ubuntu developers, Welcome to Intrepid Ibex Alpha-6, which will in time become Ubuntu 8.10. Pre-releases of Intrepid are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs. Alpha 6 is the sixth in a series of milestone CD images released throughout the Intrepid development cycle. The Alpha images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of Intrepid.

Please take care that any packages that you upload to main between now and the Alpha 6 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://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/intrepid-alpha-6 The number of bugs targeted to this milestone is still 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-6 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.

Our sixth and final alpha testing milestone for Intrepid, Intrepid Alpha 6, is scheduled for next Thursday, September 18. Intrepid Alpha 6 will again use a "soft freeze" for main[1]. 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-6 can be found at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+bugs?field.milestone%3Alist=1324 Per a previous announcement on Steve Langasek 2008-09-12T07:12:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.announce/467 Brian Murray 2008-09-09T20:08:12 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.announce/466 As we approach the launch of Ubuntu 8.10, it's time to create space for future plans, and so I'm writing to introduce you to The Jaunty Jackalope. Jaunty, the code name for what will most likely become Ubuntu 9.04, will be the focus of our efforts from November through to April next year. We will be gathering forces in Mountain View on 8th - 12th December to survey the upstream landscape and finalize Jaunty plans, enjoying the excellent hospitality of Google and Silicon Valley's abundance of talent and innovation. The Ubuntu Developer Summit is the social and strategic highlight of each release cycle and it would be a great pleasure to welcome you there. Jono Bacon has written up a http://www.jonobacon.org/?p=1278 guide to sponsorship for those who would have a substantial amount to offer at the Summit.
