news 28 Posted July 24, 2012 Dear Developers, We'll be starting to spin the images for Quantal Alpha 3 tonight. We'll be continuing with the processes we used in Alpha 2, since they seem to work fairly well, until the tooling is deployable. For this milestone following rules will apply: - If a package is needed to fix a bug that would block the milestone, it should still be uploaded to quantal. - If a package does not touch any of the images, it can still be uploaded to quantal. - All other uploads should be done to quantal-proposed first. In particular, an upload that will increase the count of uninstallable packages in main, even temporarily, MUST be done to quantal-proposed instead of to quantal. Affected uploads include: - all shared library packages (due to multiarch) - any uploads that will leave packages uninstallable on one architecture while the autobuilders catch up (due to out-of-sync Arch: all / Arch: any binary packages) - any packages that introduce new versioned Conflicts/Breaks and require coordination between multiple source packages If you have any questions about where you should upload, please ask on #ubuntu-release first. Technical Overview information for Alpha 3 can be added to the WIKI page at: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Alpha3 Thank you for your help getting Alpha 3 ready to ship. Kate Stewart on behalf of the Ubuntu Release Team. -- Share this post Link to post
