The Ubuntu 8.04 beta release is approaching, scheduled for March 20th (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule). Please refer to the milestone overview in Launchpad for a list of remaining items; either the easy-sort list:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-8.04-beta or the list of just the open bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.milestone%3Alist=953 If you have bugs on this list, please fix them at the earliest possible opportunity, or (in consultation with other developers and the Ubuntu QA team) un-milestone them if they are not required for beta. If you have bugs you think should be on this list, talk with the Ubuntu QA team about having them milestoned. Please also do not lose sight of the list of bugs affecting the release as a whole: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+bugs The beta freeze will begin on March 13th; after that point uploads will require approval from the release team, which will generally only be granted if they fix beta-critical bugs. The toolchain freeze begins now; toolchain changes require approval from the release team. Over the next few days, please pay attention to eliminating inconsistencies in the archive, including: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing/hardy_probs.html uninstallable packages in main and restricted http://conflictchecker.ubuntu.com/possible-conflicts/hardy/ undeclared Replaces or Conflicts (contact Robert Collins or Michael Vogt about false positives or if you need help) Archive administrators should spend time ensuring that any pending main<->universe component changes have been processed (http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.txt). If you are waiting for something on this list, please help out by filing good main inclusion reports. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek On behalf of the Ubuntu release team -- ubuntu-devel-announce mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-announce
