To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ... we'd rather not have any. Release preparation is a painstaking business! Please read this mail carefully. Right now, this is our list of release-critical bugs (that *must* be fixed or deferred before release): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+bugs?field.milestone=1326 We're also paying a good deal of attention to the list that includes targets of opportunity as well: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+bugs As we come up towards release, we need to be especially careful about managing these lists, and developers can help by making sure that they contain all the relevant bugs, and *only* the relevant bugs. Here are some general guidelines for release-relevant bug management: * If you have an important bug on your plate that should be fixed for 8.10 final but that isn't on /ubuntu/intrepid/+bugs, then we need to know about it NOW. Nominate or target it for the intrepid release (depending on your privileges), and find a member of the ubuntu-release team on IRC to acknowledge it. Depending on the size of the package and the riskiness of the update, we may say no or suggest some kind of alternative, but we'd much rather know than be surprised. * If you have any kind of upload to do before 8.10 final, then get it into the upload queue *as soon as possible* (it will be held there for approval). Anything uploaded later than the end of this week has a substantially decreased chance of being accepted, as at the start of next week we will need to lock down the archive completely for final builds and testing, and there is little room for error. As far as main and restricted go, this is generally only appropriate for language packs and critical/high targeted bugs; contact the ubuntu-release team in case of doubt. For universe and multiverse, contact motu-release or the relevant flavour delegate (see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-September/026306.html). Resist the temptation to bundle non-release-critical fixes with your upload; those increase both the risk of regressions and the risk that the release team will say no. * If the bug is on /ubuntu/intrepid/+bugs and isn't going to be fixed in the 8.10 series at all (neither in the main release, nor in an update) then mark the intrepid task "Won't Fix". If necessary, Launchpad will create a new task filed against the relevant package without a release when you do this. * If the bug is on /ubuntu/intrepid/+bugs and won't be fixed in the main 8.10 release, but is expected to be fixed in a post-release update, then set the 'intrepid-updates' milestone. * If the bug isn't going to be fixed for 8.10 but its presence is likely to cause trouble for a significant number of users, then consider whether it deserves a release note. If so, add a task on the 'ubuntu-release-notes' project, and provide sample text if possible (see my previous mail).
