Meeting notes:
Draft 12.04.1 schedule is at: https:/
http://
Formal schedule will be updated: https:/
12.04.1 team - Foundations: Stéphane,
What does process need to be for this.
- Fix in Quantal first, then get it in 12.04.1 SRU.
- Liberal in what we fix in LTS. (need to obeying freezes (UI, Features))
- If either uploads a fix, other tests. Response from community may occur.
- Testing is the bottleneck in getting things into -updates.
? can we get autoregression going on 12.04.1 dailies? - yes want to, may be hardware capacity issues.
? going through release notes, to fix important one?
? how are we handling flavors?
- Mythbuntu - is going to need foundations help. bug #992241
== For Discussion ==
- Update robustness - default to default path
- Lucid -> Precise,
- Oneiric -> Precise,
- armel->armhf has no proper upgrade path, add a note to u-m that people should reinstall when wanting this transition.
- Are there key bugs we want to target to get fixed? (convention to use in flux, will likely get them on a report. ok to use rls-p-tracking until other things roll out?).
- What other milestones/events to we want to use on the Point release?
- QA and Certification work.
- dedicated QA resource: jibel (for now, more resources to come to the team this may change) + backup TBD
- dedicated engineering resources: seb128, stgraber, someone-
- Want to keep the upgrade testing going throughout. If an issue for time wise, day stagger but keep them going.
- Multiarch Lucid to precise?
- Flash, skype, wine - are key applications to target. enable in the lucid->precise and oneiric->precise upgrade tests; skype requires adding partner
- Defaults: Evolution -> Thunderbird - need special testing. Possibly additional documentation.
- X: .1 only fixes.
- bugs targeted to .1: https:/
== Sources of candidate bugs ==
bugs targeted to .1 *or* to -updates: https:/
https:/
Scrub for bugs to find: - crash database bugs targetted, and number of duplicates on regular bugs, should be nominations.
looking at top crash reports: https:/
the matching bugs need to be targeted to the milestone.
Missing multi-arch support - requires exhaustive test rebuild coverage as a condition of SRU acceptance.
July release team meeting - make sure that we focus on 12.04.1 candidate fixes.
== Timeline ==
* anything for inclusion in .1 must be accepted into -proposed by August 7, and must be verified by August 16th for promotion and inclusion on candidate CD images
* August 2nd deadline for the unity-stack desktop SRU
2012/05/22 - KES - have added timeline into QuantalQuetzel/
Work Items
Work items:
[cjwatson] enable precise daily builds, to be kept running through .4 if possible, and solve any disk space / load issues (might cause timing problems on arm builders where dailies for quantal build too): DONE
[jibel] Setup installation automated smoketesting for Precise (jobs will start automatically when builds are available on cdimage.u.c): DONE
[jibel] need to figure what need to do about disk space when quantal start, so keeping auto regression. - RAID array will be rearranged to maximize device space, 3 slots are also available to add more disks to the array: DONE
[larry-e-works] rearrange raid array and add more disks on wazn and aldebaran (~100GB additional space required): TODO
[jibel] upgrade testing from lucid to precise: DONE
[jibel] upgrade testing from oneiric to precise: DONE
[brian-murray] create report of top duplicates coming in from 12.04 - to consider for release: DONE
[stgraber] 1: review release-noted bugs for candidates: DONE
[seb128] 2: review release-noted bugs for candidates: DONE
[ogra] patch update-manager in oneiric-updates to show a note about armel/armhf transition: TODO
[kate.stewart] update schedule wiki pages with dates from above: DONE
[kate.stewart] update LTS point release process pages with flow decided above: DONE
[stgraber] Schedule regular (weekly/
