Hello all,
Over the course of the past few months, myself, Len Ovens, and Ross
Gammon have been working hard on updating the Ubuntu Studio tools. In
particluar, we have done a number of things to the tools:
* Updated Ubuntu Studio Controls (ubuntustudio-controls) with a
number of bug fixes
* Renamed Ubuntu Studio Meta Installer to Ubuntu Studio Installer
(ubuntustudio-installer) and gave it a secondary purpose of
installing Ubuntu Studio's stack on top of a flavor other than Ubuntu
Studio (think of Ubuntu Studio as a ToolKit)
* Updated Ubuntu Studio's default theme and icon theme (part of
ubuntustudio-look and ubuntustudio-default-settings in addition to
ubuntustudio-icon-theme)
* Updated Ubuntu Studio's plymouth boot theme (part of
ubuntustudio-look)
* Added a GRUB theme (grub2-themes-ubuntustudio)
* Fixed bugs and missing apps in our menu (ubuntustudio-menu)
* Worked upstream with the developer of Carla to get Carla in
Ubuntu's repos.
Unfortunately, none of that made it in before feature freeze, despite
my mailing our development list that it needed to happen, and tagging
certain packages with [needs packaging]. Perhaps I'm just doing it
wrong.
Basically, it comes down to this: Nobody on the Ubuntu Studio Team
has upload privileges in any way. As such, these tools are sitting
waiting to be uploaded.
So now, unless I'm wrong, each one of the packages now needs a
Feature Freeze Exception to be uploaded into the repo. This is
disappointing because, as of right now, Ubuntu Studio 19.04 is
looking identical to Ubuntu Studio 18.10.
My intention was to apply to become a MOTU after the release of 19.04
in order to prevent situations like this from happening again.
Unfortunately, it looks like that will be too late unless we can get
someone to get in and review these packages:
* <https://launchpad.net/grub2-themes-ubuntustudio>
* <https://launchpad.net/ubuntustudio-controls>
* <https://launchpad.net/ubuntustudio-installer>
* <https://launchpad.net/ubuntustudio-icon-theme>
* <https://launchpad.net/ubuntustudio-look>
* https://launchpad.net/ubuntustudio-menugrub2-theme-ubuntustudio-
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntustudio-menu>
* <https://launchpad.net/ubuntustudio-default-settings>
* <https://launchpad.net/carla>
So, please take this as our cry for help to get these packages
updated and included. I don't know how to do this, and I've never
been shown the process. So, maybe my MOTU training sarts here.
Thank you for your time, and in advance for your help.

Bug reports are as follows: 1816673, 1818372, 1818368, 1818369,
1818370, 1818366, 1809024, 1818373
I realize that at least two of these are going to require FFe's, and
the one for the GRUB theme looks recent because I had to re-upload the
git repo due to an error Launchpad was having with grabbing the
existing repo.
I'd appreciate help with this.
Erich
