Main frozen for Alpha 5

news · February 24, 2009

Dear developers,

Jaunty Alpha 5 is scheduled for this Thursday, February 26, so the milestone

"freeze" is now in effect. Please take care that any packages you upload to

main between now and the Alpha 5 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 milestone as blockers is 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-5 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.[1]

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
