Hi, first off, apologies for the confusion regarding ubuntu-release delegations and for getting delegations only set up this late in the cycle.
For universe/multiverse packages, that are NOT found on any installation
media, Feature Freeze Exceptions [1] can be obtained from one of the
delegates in addition to ubuntu-release until the date of Final Freeze for
universe [2]:
* mythbuntu: Mario Limonciello (~superm1) [superm1]
* mozilla team: Chris Coulson (~chrisccoulson) [chrisccoulson], Micah Gersten
(~micahg) [micahg]
* xubuntu: Lionel Le Folgoc (~mrpouit) [mr_pouit]
* netbook: Didier Roche (~didrocks) [didrocks]
* edubuntu: Jonathan Carter (~jonathan) [highvoltage],
Stéphane Graber (~stgraber) [stgraber]
* Ubuntustudio: Scott Lavender (~slavender) [ScottL]
If you're unsure if a package falls under a specific package set, just use the
regular procedure at [1], we'll sort it out.
In any case, please make sure to have the changes well tested and please
refrain from uploading any unnecessary changes.
Among these are:
* general package cleanups, like bumping standards-version
* adding a patch system for packages, which don't have one already
* changing text files (with regards to translations), including fixing minor
typographical errors
* switching build systems
Finally, any upload will land in the unapproved queue and hence will need an
archive admin to get accepted. As a result, please make sure to document
granted freeze exceptions properly in the changelog; this will greatly help
archive administrators.
Cheers,
Stefan - on behalf of ubuntu-release.
