Hey everyone.

Good news first:
the qmlscene crash and a lot of other bugs while opening the apps are 
now fixed. A consequence is also that the test pass rate jumped above 
98% as the whole system is way more reliable! Well done everyone. :)

Bad news: image #55 couldn't be promoted because of a regression where 
updated phones to latest image can't install or upgrade click apps ( 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/click/+bug/1259253). Colin 
fixed the issue and image #57 with it is now built. Tests are running as 
we speak and we'll be able to take a decision on its promotion with 
those results.

Even if the impressive yearly light festival in my city just ended 
yesterday[1], I'll put some candles tonight on the windows as per 
tradition[2] so that image #57 will finally be THE promoted image :)


Now, to move on to the future (assuming we are getting there) on the 
going green story.
As we are really close to our target of 100% of tests reliably passing 
and there is not anymore any known "can't launch app" blockers, it's 
time to look at getting all flaky tests disabled or fixed. It's 
completely reachable to get that green for Thursday I guess. If you 
can't fix a test that is flaky, the test is useless, so please disable 
it: it's just bringing noise to people trying to release an image.

Here is project by project list. Note that I based it on both images 55 
and 56 test results.

I count those as blockers for those projects to get a new release to 
Touch until the fix is in or another guilty component is identified:

* ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Zoltan):
One flaky test (fail on maguro, not on mako)
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/55:20131209.1:20131203/5355/ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot/559350/

* ubuntu-weather-app (Nicholas):
One test failing on both platform
<http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/55:20131209.1:20131203/5355/ubuntu-weather-app-autopilot/>http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/55:20131209.1:20131203/5355/ubuntu-weather-app-autopilot/559254/
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/55:20131209.1:20131203/5356/ubuntu-weather-app-autopilot/559437/

* ubuntu-file-manager (Nicholas):
One flaky test on mako
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/55:20131209.1:20131203/5356/ubuntu-filemanager-app-autopilot/559266/

* music-app (Nicholas):
One flaky test on mako
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/55:20131209.1:20131203/5356/music-app-autopilot/559105/

* calendar-app (Nicholas):
4 flaky tests failing on maguro. Maybe will worth a look to see if 
something didn't disturb the environment and it's not protected against it.
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/55:20131209.1:20131203/5355/calendar-app-autopilot/

* terminal-app (Nicholas):
Enter and backspace broken in terminal: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-terminal-app/+bug/1257791

* messaging-app (Bill):
One flaky test on mako. (can be sdk related)
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/55:20131209.1:20131203/5356/messaging-app-autopilot/558958/

* notes-app (Bill)
One test failing on both mako and maguro:
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/55:20131209.1:20131203/5355/notes-app-autopilot/558827/
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/55:20131209.1:20131203/5356/notes-app-autopilot/558857/
3 flaky tests on mako:
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/56:20131210:20131203/5360/notes-app-autopilot/

* webbrowser-app (Bill)
2 flaky tests on maguro only:
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/56:20131210:20131203/5363/webbrowser-app-autopilot/

* unity8 (Kevin)
5 flaky tests on maguro:
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/55:20131209.1:20131203/5355/unity8-autopilot/558729/ 
(1 fail on run 55)
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/56:20131210:20131203/5363/unity8-autopilot/ 
(4 other failures on run 56)
In addition, remember that Unity 8 has a backlog of pending fixes that 
were waiting for this week. I count them as well as blockers for 
releasing unity8. Meaning:
- messages in Incoming not always display the correct date and content ( 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity8/+bug/1253810)
- Abort when blancking/unblanking blank screen: old crasher that is now 
really easy to reproduce ( 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1258655)

* qtubuntu (Kevin)
- clocked switched to 24h format ( 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtubuntu/+bug/1256061) -> 
seems that was unassigned and set back to the qtubuntu pool.

I'll appreciate if all people listed here communicate the progress on 
those issues in this mailing list. That would make a way easier 
coordination.

Thanks to everyone for their cooperation :)
