Activity Reports ********************************************************************* Loïc Minier == Mobile == * Poked Jeroen on translation exports for midbrowser * Phoned Chris to discuss QA and testing for intrepid and the testing of the hardy image updates, choice of mail client, and basically in depth status report; we will now have this call weekly * Reviewed final merge of MIC patches; now all merged, waiting for a new release; also sent suggestions on fsets/platforms usage and initramfs scripts * Chaired a relatively wide ranging team call where we notably set a hard deadline for daily images and installer (alpha 5); many points remained open so we did an extra meeting on Monday with David * Looked for webcams and bought one cheapo Logitech for testing of Ekiga and cheese; might also buy a HD one, but I should check whether the Q1U's webcam is supported in 2.6.27 first * Met whole of Monday with davidm; discussed hardy/intrepid/intrepid+1 cycles, long term and past planning; we tried testing Ekiga but it was quite impractical for many reasons * Clarified squashfs support in the installer Emmet is working on, also clarified usefulness of such support with David and Pat * Updated hildon-fm and its dep hildon-thumbnail to latest upstreams and merged Ubuntu changes in the Debian branches * Spent a long while trying to port hildon-fm to Gtk+ 2.13's filechooser/filesystem new internal api/abi but realized it was more a couple of weeks of solid dev and testing, might break with next Gtk+, might not ever be supported upstream; decided to patch modest to build without hildon-fm in the end * In depth review and fixes of the modest and its bdep libwpeditor-plus' packaging; pushed around FF to allow us to select this mail client or Thunderbird, but at least have the choice; chased many side issues as the result (hildon-fm, hildon-thumbnail, libtinymail *.la files, ....) and sent patch upstream; still needs work as some strings and icons are missing * Full review of netbook-remix-launcher's packaging (hoping for an upload before FF) == Misc == * Updated pigment and pigment-python, to prepare for elisa 0.5.x packaging; started reviewing the huge elisa 0.3 -> 0.5 diffs, but gave up looking for imports in them; I'm sitting down to write a proper import scanner to solve this as I have no other way to ensure the bdeps and deps are correct * Checked whether I could get fglrx to build for 2.6.27 before upgrading my laptop (under Debian as 2.6.27 was in NEW); this was fixed in intrepid at the time I had the fix * Cleaned up ffmpeg-debian's packaging == Desktopish == * Continued discussion on evolution-rss / xulrunner fix for the crash on exit with upstream * Reviewed Ted's patches for fast-user-switch-applet session integration and IM status integration in depth as well as packaging changes and sponsored * Gained official hat of desktop emergency issue response guy for the week and was also asked to work on a couple of specs (the latter I will do on a best effort basis) ********************************************************************* Steve Kowalik * livecd-rootfs testing, more testing and more testing. Merged my changes into 0.64 and uploaded it. Whew. [8h] * Rewrite build_ume_image after a prod from Colin Watson got me investigating mtools. It no longer requires root, so is suitable for antimony. [2h] * Investigation with Colin Watson's help into what I need to fix on antimony for the trigger scripts. [1h] * Re-spin the private image, *again*. [4h] * Prod Emmet to push ubuntu-mid-default-settings into bzr, and seed it. [1h] * Review treb and ume-announcer and rubber-stamp them, the first with minor changes. [1h] * Notice the fbreader merge on UUS, and note that it contains a change that isn't needed any more. The change even made it fail on lpia, so prepare an upload to correct it. Do it again to fix a bug, making the diff tiny. [2h] * Hacking scripts on antimony to handle mobile intrepid dailies. [4h] * Working with James Troup to get the scripts deployed and working. Give up during that session since ubuntu-mid needs clobbering to be installable again. [30m] * Sponsor a merge of gimp 2.4.7. [2h] * Work on crowbarring ubuntu-mid to be installable. Fix ubuntu-mid-default-settings to use the correct Depends, and end up unseeding gstreamer-plugins -bad and -ugly. Also remove them from gstreamer-dbus-media-service's Depends. Make some notes on how to clean up the mess of Depends in ubuntu-mid and lower down the chain. [6h] * Some NBS work. ********************************************************************* Emmet Hikory Short Week: Ill on Tuesday == Mobile == * Finish up ubuntu-mid-default-settings and get into the archive. This replaces all the ume-config-* packages, and ought use the various autodetection facilities that are in intrepid to create the right environment. * Review of ubuntu-moblie-default-settings which does the same thing for the -mobile seed, only better. * Coordination on some of the UNR packages and some of the outstanding new packages from the PPA to determine if we wanted them, and if so, if we wanted them in the shape we had them. * Lots more learning about how the Ubuntu install process works, but still not a working installer. * Deeper review of image building, and confirmation that most of the necessary hooks are there to make ubiquity work. -- David Mandala <davidm at canonical dot com> http://www.canonical.com/ Public Key id: 45B2D952 Murphy TX, 75094 +1.214.774.2569 O +1.972.693.4007 C -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
