Summary:
========
We landed a few branches in devel before devel closed at 0900 UTC this
morning, as well as a few late rc fixes on db-devel. So from now on,
please make sure that any release-critical branches you are working on
target db-devel.

Note: the absolute latest that you'll be able to submit an rc branch to
db-devel is 2009-11-03 00:00 UTC (9hrs before the scheduled release).

Thanks to more excellent work from mthaddon and mwhudson we got our
db_lp back up. There were still a few issues with the bzr checkout of
db-devel timing out (after the default 20mins). We updated the timeout
to 40mins and now lp_buildbot is happy (it turns out, without a local
repo, it's taking 21mins to checkout a complete db-devel).

So, the good news is that we currently have both builders (for devel and
db-devel) running the test suite. Let's see how they finish :)

QA
==

So that means our remaining task is just to get everything QA'd. For
some people, the lack of staging updates has been an issue - but staging
should be updated (code/schema, but not data-refresh) around 30mins
after the db-devel buildbot finishes successfully (could it do
otherwise?) and is merged into db-stable.

But it will take a second db-devel buildbot run before all the latest
devel changes are included (assuming the current devel run finishes
successfully).

Note to registry team: there are 3 current-rollout-blocker bugs listed
as 'In progress' for you guys, please let us know if this is still the case.

So, happy QAing and thanks everyone for all the excellent work - and
special thanks to our amazing community contributors.
