news 28 Posted March 12, 2010 Hello Ubuntu developers, We are now one week from the first beta release of 10.04, scheduled for March 18 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule), and have just entered beta freeze. 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/lucid/+bugs?field.milestone=21446 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/lucid/+bugs Over the next few days, please pay attention to eliminating inconsistencies in the archive, including: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing/lucid_probs.html uninstallable packages in main and restricted http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/NBS/ obsolete packages which still have reverse-dependencies Archive administrators should spend time ensuring that any pending mainuniverse component changes have been processed (http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.txt). Developers, if you are waiting for something on this list, please help out by filing good main inclusion reports. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek On behalf of the Ubuntu release team [1] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-release -- Share this post Link to post
