Hey everyone, As I suspect not everyone is reading the whole #ubuntu-release backlog everyday, I figure it may be a good idea to also announce the auto-accept mechanism I've put in place yesterday on this list.
Basically after the Final Beta got released, the archive was frozen and won't be unfrozen until 13.10 is out. This means any upload needs to be reviewed and accepted by an ubuntu-release team member. Unseeded packages are usually simply waived through as they're not affecting any of our images. To make this easier, I've written a small script that processes the queue every minute and for each entry checks if the package is in a packageset or is seeded, if the package is neither, then it's automatically accepted. One extra rule is that if a package is seeded but the only image it's affecting is ubuntu-touch, then it's also automatically accepted as those usually are covered by the Ubuntu Touch FFe and are blocked by britney for manual approval by the touch release team. The list of all auto-accepted packages is logged so should there be any concern, it's easy to check whether the script was responsible for the accept or an actual release team member was. If you have any question or concern about what that script does, please let me know! -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com
