Raring frozen for Final Beta, and continuing on to Release

[news 28]

Just a quick heads-up, the queue for raring(-proposed) is now frozen

for the preparation of the Final Beta, and all uploads now go through

a manual review process before being accepted or rejected.

 

As always, unseeded universe packages will be let through with a

minimum of fuss (though we may try to talk people out of doing silly

things like starting a new transition this late in the cycle), and

seeded packages will recieve a fair bit of attention to detail to

make sure people aren't breaking Feature Freeze or, frankly, just

breaking things in general.

 

As with the last few releases, the freeze will remain in effect until

raring releases, to add an extra level of review and avoid obvious

regressions or feature freeze circumvention. If you need to make an

upload that you feel might get rejected, please contact the release

team first.

 

Bugfixes, of course, are greatly appreciated, and will be reviewed

and accepted promptly. Please help us make this another smooth and

polished Ubuntu release, and thanks in advance for all the hard work

in that direction.

 

On behalf of the Ubuntu Release Team,

 

Adam Conrad
