Two weeks from release, now that we're pretty much at final freeze, it's worth mentioning a tool we added to ubuntu-dev-tools, last cylcle: seeded-in-ubuntu.
If you haven't come across it, yet, here's a brief description: It can be hard to tell whether it's safe to touch a package, when the archive is frozen. The Tasks on binary packages don't corrospond directly to the presence of a package on a CD image. And during freezes, it's the stability of the CD builds that matters. So, we have a job that scrapes the CD build manifests hourly, and creates a database of seeded packages. It also knows about the supported seed, which is unrelated to images. The client for this database is 'seeded-in-ubuntu', in ubuntu-dev-tools. I hope you find this useful during freezes. For anyone who is interested, the database is generated by lp:~stefanor/+junk/ubuntu-seeded-packages SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ H: +27 21 461 1230 C: +27 72 419 8559 -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
