Hi Folks,

Can I start with thanking Karl for covering for me due to meeting times
being totally at the wrong hour for me.

If he was 'vague' at the meeting, it is because I could not get a
deffinative answer. I would have been equally as vague. I give you the
conversations I have had on the matter of testing tomorrows' ISO's ... They
are from #ubuntu-testing & #ubuntu-release.


(01:39:40 AM) phillw: (09:00:11 PM) XXXXXX: XXXXXXX: The sword sync is
accepted. Due to the huge armel and powerpc backlog, it might be worth
rescoring it to get it built soon. I've also uploaded the
reverse-build-depends with a versioned build-dep on libsword-dev so they
can be accepted anytime without fear of misbuild.
(01:40:13 AM) phillw: (09:11:14 PM) XXXXXX:XXXXXXX I see somebody's
rescored them already
(01:40:13 AM) phillw: (09:11:25 PM) xxxxxxx: Ah. Excellent.
(01:42:38 AM) phillw: (09:16:16 PM) phillw: xxxxxx: will the powerpc builds
be in the 'extra' push daily iso builds tomorrow?
(01:42:38 AM) phillw: (09:16:54 PM) xxxxxxxx: I don't know what you mean by
extra push, but daily builds take whatever's in the archive at the time
(01:43:05 AM) phillw: (09:17:38 PM) phillw:xxxxxxxx: I was told earlier
that it was planned to do a suite of regression checks from tomorrows isos?
(01:43:32 AM) phillw: (09:17:49 PM) xxxxxxxx: well, daily builds take
whatever's in the archive at the time
(01:43:32 AM) phillw: (09:18:05 PM) phillw: xxxxxxx: okies, thanks

Which is acceptance that there is a backlog & upping the priority of the
 PPC builds. It is desired, but as stated; they will be there when they
are.

(08:16:44 PM) phillw: xxxxxxx: is it a fairly major re-spin for todays
ISO's ?
(08:16:59 PM) xxxxxx: phillw, hey.. nice to see you :-)
(08:19:08 PM) xxxxxx: well.. so someone else mentioned some good fixes
(08:19:14 PM) xxxxxxx: new kernel landed
(08:19:26 PM) xxxxxx: we'll see how big the diff is
(08:27:39 PM) xxxxxxx: kk.. well at any rate, yes doing some regression
testing for tomorrow's daily would be awesome

Which, with a new kernel landing, is a fairly important test of everything.
They either work perfectly, or fail perfectly!
That is as much information as Karl had to go on, so please do not shoot
the messenger :)

Next major testing will be for final Release Candidate. Having seen & run
the Beta 2 with updates, we have an outstandingly good 12.04 for people to
use! Thanks everyone.

Oh, and do cheer up, only another couple of weeks to go & us QA guys will
stop nagging..... for a few weeks (we are already plotting things for
12.10) :P

Kindest Regards from a rather hot India!,

Phill.
