New week, no promotable image yet, but quite a lot happening :)

We still continue on the degraded landing mode, with a counter-sign on 
the tests by the Landing team on every landings until we can promote a 
new image.

Let's first sum up what happened on recent images over the week-end:

#213:
Full list of changes in Friday's email. However, just want to mention 
(if you didn't read other exchanges on this mailing list), that this 
version introduced a download manager issue on click apps.

#214:
* got some telephony bug fixes (progress animation spinning forever on 
SMS to unknown recipient, big delay when pressing speaker phone icon on 
N4, dialer switches to Call Log view when selecting from background and 
keypad screen shown first when answering a call), in addition to build 
fixes for Qt 5.2 and additional autopilot tests.
* an ubuntu-keyboard fix to allow to be swiped down in Qt 5.2
* some new android-side fixes
* some other build fixes to prepare Qt 5.2 like qtorganizer
* new changes coming from the desktop sid, like the unity8 desktop 
session with GL support, new Unity7...

#215:
* new ofono version with multipl bug fixes and script ported to python3
-> This version created multiple crashes when ofono-phonesim is 
installed (see also other discussion on this very mailing list)

#216:
* this one contains the bug fix for the download-manager with click app 
issue. Dogfooding confirmed it's now fixed.

#217:
* this version contains a new toolkit for multiple bug fixes.

#218:
* this one contains an ofono revert while work is ongoing on getting the 
crashers fixed.
* ubuntu-system-settings containing a first skeleton (not displayed yet) 
and a Welcome to Ubuntu wizard and some workaround for a Qt bug that 
could lead to non working scrolling.
* more build fixes for telephony and history-service for Qt 5.2


#218 tests are still running. #217 contains the same kind of issues (and 
the ofono crash) that we already had. The list of blockers to be able to 
promote an image are:

1. Camera freezes after taking photo on Nexus 4 (which is making the 
camera AP tests failing) (Ricardo/Sergio)
Ricardo has some leads on the cause of this one. He's focusing at 100% 
on it.

2. Clock apps flaky tests (Nicholas + Leo)
Really nice progress on the testing side of that one. A new bug is 
exposed though with the tests[1]. The devs are working on it (but it's 
not a regression). Nicholas is planning to release a new version today.

3. Weather-app seems to have new flakyness in the test (Leo)
Leo is going to analyze if it's due to the tests themselves, a flaky 
behavior in the application or due to the Qt 5.0 crash.

4. Ensuring that we can promote the image with the Qt 5.0 crasher. (Dave)
Once those 3 are solved, the QA team is going to tell us if the Qt 5.0 
does impact or not the user experience and see if we can promote the 
image before switching to Qt 5.2 (which fixes it).

Note as well that the ofono crash revealed that the new setUp/tearDown 
for each testsuite didn't remove every installed test packages. Sivaa 
and Andy just published the suggested fix in the other email, so we'll 
get it in production when testing image #219.

Cheers,
Didier
