Hi everyone, The Hardy Alpha 5 release is due this week, so it's time for another milestone "freeze". Please take care that any packages that 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:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/hardy-alpha-5 Remember that this is a "soft" freeze, so you are each responsible for making sure your uploads fit this description - Launchpad will not be your safety net. Packages that are not seeded on the CDs (i.e., most packages in universe, with the exception of UbuntuStudio[1] and xubuntu[2] packages) may be uploaded as usual - bearing in mind that the Feature Freeze is also now in effect[3]. Between the lateness of this announcement and some Launchpad maintenance that has been scheduled for this Thursday (http://news.launchpad.net/notifications/offline-21-feb-0000-0300-utc), we anticipate that the Alpha 5 release will be delayed until Friday, February 22 to allow time for the ISO images to be tested appropriately. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek On behalf of the Ubuntu release team [1] https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntustudio.hardy [2] https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/xubuntu.hardy [3] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2008-February/000378.html -- ubuntu-devel-announce mailing list ubuntu-devel-announce@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-announce
