Hi,

We got some progresses through images 46 and 47 today and the pass rate 
is slowly improving. Let's keep that trend up!
Image 46 contained a new initramfs and mostly unspecific touch changes 
coming directly from the distro work.
Image 47 got a Qt declarative fix in the QEvent area (heavily tested 
before delivered) and the keyboard fix (more info below). Tests are 
still running at this moment on that one (even if image was kicked 6 
hours ago).
The most noticeable news thanks to the keyboard fix is that you can 
finally got some fancy azerty keyboard (as we should all have) depending 
on your language settings, and apparently some umlaut for other weird 
dialects. ;)

-> This one is now fixed in trunk and the delivery is in progress (in 
proposed right now!). Should be in the soon-to-be-kicked image 48.

-> This is still under discussion and seems an upstart-app-launch issue. 
This one is a blocker to promote an image. Thomas' team is working on 
it, but couldn't get feedback on it.

-> Done and delivered in image 47. Let's hope the dashboard will confirm 
the fix. \o/

-> Thanks Dmitrijs for this fix! The keyboard is now available back on 
ubuntu touch in non english settings. I think that would be a nice 
candidate for an integration test. Julien, can you coordinate the needed 
team to write a test on that one?

No news, it seems the person able to fix it won't be around until next week.

We got some excellent progress on that one. Can't wait for Sergio to 
build the click apps for the filemanager app fixes coordinated by 
Nicholas and Alan merged. This should drastically raise our pass rate!

Seems some progress and maybe link on an older bug ( 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-mir/+bug/1234538). But this time, it's 
not random. I still keep it on the blocker list and people are 
discussing on the bug.


Another regression was found since last promoted image: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1257493. I put 
that one on the promotion blocker list as well.

While we slow down the touch integration work, we are working on 
releasing some desktop-only apps meanwhile, less risky for the image, 
while we are waiting eagerly on the blocker fixes. ;)
So, good progress today, let's hope we see the same trend in all teams 
tomorrow.

Cheers,
Didier
