Dear Developers, As per the release schedule, Cosmic is now in Feature Freeze.
Ideally you will all now be focusing on bug fixing and not on getting new features into the release. As is the custom, packages that have been uploaded to cosmic-roposed prior to the feature freeze deadline, but have gotten stuck there, remain candidates for fixing between now and release. We again have a very busy -proposed with transitions in progress; with 873 packages in cosmic-proposed today, we are even a little behind where we were at this point in the cycle for bionic. We made good progress on clearing out bionic-proposed before the bionic release, and with some effort we can do the same again for cosmic. Please help wherever possible by resolving broken tests, uninstallable packages, and build failures; and please pay attention to existing versions of packages currently in cosmic-proposed before uploading unrelated changes. http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html And if you do want to seek an exception to land your cool new feature, then please follow the process: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess Remember that version strings don't matter for Feature Freeze. If you upload a new upstream release and it has no new features than you don't need an exception. If you add a debian/patch that adds a new feature, or enable one via build flags then you do. We care about the content of the archive, not about precisely how things got there. Happy bugfixing, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
