Greetings, I noticed a few SRUs have been approved lately which have failed to build in Quantal due to toolchain differences. Examples:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntuone-client-gnome/3.0.1-0ubuntu1.1 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/5.12-0ubuntu2 I know that the process has been tightened up recently, and that will hopefully help prevent some of this taking place, but just looking for Fix Released bug tasks in the development release is not enough (because this happens when the source upload is processed, not when binaries are successfully built). It's not clear to me what we can do about people not test-building their uploads, but could the SRU team make it clear that just uploading to the development release is not enough — the fixes have to *work* there too? It's a small amount of extra work to additionally check the build status, but hopefully it'll pay off in a more solid dev release, which is a meme we've been trying to establish, after all.
