Release team, we appreciate your support and would like to work with you as closely as possible to get the change in and enhance Ubuntu all together. I can understand the concerns about missed deadlines and am apologizing on behalf of the team for the troubled caused.
Here is what we think is happening and I would like to get your feedback to adjust things as quickly as possible: - the team will take the ambiguity of the title "New Unity Stack" out by providing a better summary of affected components in order to help your assessment - didrocks has set up PPAs to get test coverage in, first feedback is coming back already (based on the -prevalidation PPA). The PPAs are equivalent to the ones used for daily landing, except for pulling from a feature branch - we will engage with Nicholas Skaggs to get additional test coverage - while parts are ready to land now, the API changes render all dependencies unusable and we have been advised that it would be preferable to land everything in one go, rather in smaller iterations. Let us know your opinion - the targeted landing on our end into the PPAs is 3/22 - I had offered help earlier to your team, if there is anything we can possibly do (screenshots?), let me know Please note that the privacy settings as outlined in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartScopes1304Spec will be landing in the PPA next week, the early version you can access today does not have all required pieces yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gwibber in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1154229 Title: [FFE] New Unity Dash Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “libunity” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-lens-applications” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-lens-files” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-lens-music” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-lens-photos” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-lens-shopping” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-scope-gdrive” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: A new version of Unity's Dash, libunity APIs, the default and new "100 scopes", with a target date of March 25th for landing in Raring. The rest of Unity (Launcher, Indicators, HUD, etc) will not be affected. For reference, the new "smart scope service" and corresponding Unity changes was discussed here: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/01/30/smart- scopes/ The spec for the "smart scope service" is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartScopes1304Spec The goal is to have everything ready by the 25th March. Until then, a ppa will be updated everyday for testing the feature by a group of 5 people (the ppa will be: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-unity/+archive /experimental-certified). Existing tests will be run as per of the daily release process. That + the manual testing, we'll have a good pick on the quality status before flipping the switch. All packages will be prereviewed for NEWing and MIRing.
