Hey guys,

*In summary*: please do not merge anything yet to trunk if your 
component was part of the AP 1.4 transition.


crusty details:
Images 12 and 13 contains all the releases from yesterday.

We got some troubles to get good results, because one of the indicator 
was going crazy (and the name was truncated, so hard to know which one 
and no way to reproduce locally). We didn't find the culpurit after a 
long long fight (we tried reverting network-manager, ido, unity8, 
lxc-android-config...) The issue is that the results are really 
unreliable (60% of failures, but some long run passing without any 
changes). Right now, we added a longer system settling period and it 
wokaround sometimes the issue.

We'll need someone to dive into why we got that regression, which will 
be easier if we can reproduce it reliably first. Note that nobody was 
able to reproduce it locally. Mathieu and Ted are currently looking at 
why the indicator-network is looping like crazy in some cases on the 
device in the lab itself (as we can't find the culpurit and it's a fix 
needed anyway).

At the same time, we started to transition to autopilot 1.4. Most of the 
branches were merged this morning, but not everything and so we helped 
fixing that.
Certifying every changes locally, we already know that next dashboard 
will show:
- not all AP tests for autopilot passing on the device 
(https://launchpad.net/bugs/1211140)
- camera-app which was written to not needding any transition for AP 1.4 
has now 3 reliable test failures: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/camera-app/+bug/1248495
- dialer-app have some tests failing as well: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/dialer-app/+bug/1248553
- some core apps are still having some failures (before and after the 
1.4 compatible versions were getting uploaded). We also miss 
com.ubuntu.stockticker and com.ubuntu.sudoku needs to have the 1.4 
branch merged.
- unity7 is getting reviewed and merged before a rebuild without picking 
up latest nux and compiz (for ABI breakages)
- some components are blocked in proposed, the team is helping 
faciliting the transition.

Then, we'll start building image 14.

I think Julien, Thomi and the rest of the QA team is going to work very 
closely with all upstreams to get all failing AP tests resolved ASAP. I 
think we shouldn't push any other code to any project that won't get a 
100% pass rate on image 14 until those are fixed.
So please, all upstreams, look at 
http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/, test results for 
image 14 (once available), and if your pass rate isn't at 100%, refrain 
to merge any new code into those components (or anything that can impact 
those) and work with the QA team so that we can come back to a green 
image ASAP.

Thanks,
Didier
