[Sam Spilsbury <smspillaz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,

Just a reminder that the following two branches are awaiting review:

https://code.launchpad.net/~compiz-team/compiz/compiz.fix_1170013/+merge/161183
https://code.launchpad.net/~compiz-team/compiz/compiz.fix_1101026/+merge/159757

The first is (AIUI) necessary in order to enable autopkgtests for
deploying compiz 0.9.10 to the distro, the second is necessary for us
to start delivering acceptance tests around the more commonly used
plugins.

They need to be reviewed before anything else can be done, as they are
blocking other work.

Sam.
