Main frozen for Alpha 3

[news 28]

Dear developers,

 

We're about two days before the expected release of Jaunty Alpha 3, so the

milestone "freeze" is now in effect. Please take care that any packages

that you upload to main between now and the Alpha 3 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=2211

 

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-3 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,

--

Steve Langasek

On behalf of the Ubuntu release team
