Hey,

We were able to get back to a promotable state. Image #161 is now the 
latest and greatest of ubuntu touch.
This image contains all the changes and the reverts discussed in 
yesterday's email. We dogfooded the image ourself on both mako and 
maguro and everything seems green.

After that and some protobuf transition (in image #162), we don't see 
any regression compared to usual crashes and flakyness. The new AP test 
failure on unity 8 is a test that was ignored recently but failing again 
by the revert.

So, now that we were back to green, we worked on:
- fixing the packaging conflicts and republishing ubuntu-html5-theme
- getting Unity8 containing yesterday's regression fix (with a test!), 
various cleanup and improvements as well as getting upstart timeout when 
a crash happened (hopefully not anymore smashed stacktrace)
- an indicator-datetime rewrite in C++
- various build fixes for platform-api and location-service with latest 
dbus-cpp

To sum up, on yesterday's revert:
- unity8 is now fixed
- ubuntu-html5-theme will be in tomorrow's image
- upstart-app-launch is the latest that is still reverted.

We also assigned various slots, like for getting latest Mir, some fixes 
in the apps, and other backend components. That should enable us to 
continue to flush the queue while keeping everything under sanity. For 
getting fresh results, we are about to kick a new image soon as most of 
those components are published in the release pocket.

Cheers,
Didier
