Main frozen for Alpha 2

news · December 16, 2008

Hi all,

I hope everyone had a great UDS this year - both those who were present in

Mountain View, and those who were able to join us remotely.

Before we all scatter for the end-of-year holidays, we're scheduled to have

our second milestone for Jaunty, Jaunty Alpha 2, this Thursday, December 18.

So from here until Alpha 2 is out, the milestone "freeze" is now in effect.

Please take care that any packages that you upload to main between now and

the Alpha 2 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:

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-2 milestone:

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 universe,

with the exception of UbuntuStudio, Xubuntu, and Mythbuntu packages) may be

uploaded as usual.

Cheers,

--
