Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) Beta Release

The beta releases of Kubuntu 6.10 and Ubuntu 6.10 were made this week.

Kubuntu features stylish new artwork, improved power management and better accessibility. See:

https://wiki.kubuntu.org/EdgyEft/Beta/Kubuntu

Ubuntu features Firefox 2 beta and adds Tomboy and F-spot. Artwork hasn't been neglected either. See:

Akademy 2006

Report by Jonathan Riddell.

"Even though I was not able to attend the whole Akademy this year (due to the Kubuntu beta release) the conference, e.V. meeting and BoF sessions I did make it to were exciting and showed great promise for KDE 4.

Firstly, thanks to Canonical for making Kubuntu a Gold sponsor of Akademy, it was lovely to have large Kubuntu banners all over the lecture theatres as well as a hacker lab full of Kubuntu machines.

KDE 4 has been a long time coming, but with the presentations at the weekend we got to see the multimedia layer Phonon in action and the hardware layer Solid at work. In the KDE 4 build environment we saw a full KDE 4 session being run - a first for many people. There's still plenty of work to be done; the Plasma desktop still has no screenshots and the Telepathy project Decibel is behind schedule, but with the first developers' preview now out and packages available in Kubuntu Edgy, development should now accelarate.

We were pleased to have a number of speakers from other communities including Gnome's John Palmieri, who convinced us that it's not just KDE who are happy to have competition, Keith Packard, who wrote some special code to ensure his laptop worked with the university's projector and showed other wonders of hotswap pluggyness that will be coming into X soon, and Jin Yoon, who showed us the open platform used on his Ricoh printers.

Looking very promising is KHTML, where the decision on whether to keep the original KHTML or convert to a version of WebKit will likely be taken soon. We also got to see the Qt 4 C# bindings and using Javascript to manage any application's object tree just like a web page DOM.

The Akademy Awards were given to the author of Krita, a painting application that now rivals the free and proprietary competition; the poor soul who converted all of KDE from autotools to the CMake build system and the Mandriva coder who has made more KDE 3 to KDE 4 commits than anyone else.

Unfortunately, Mark Shuttleworth had to cancel his visit after Canonical One needed repairs, but I managed to hold a successful Kubuntu BoF on my own showing what we had done in Edgy and working out how to get those changes further upstream. The SuSE developers were especially interested in Ubuntu's thinkpad-keys daemon.

KDE e.V. is KDE's legal body, and in a day long meeting we went over the usual administrative matters that projects the size of KDE have to. We also chose the location of Akademy 2007 of which I will be one of the organisers, details to be announced soon."

Ubuntu Poster Competition Yields Results

Ubuntuforums.org user HanZo has created a winning entry for a poster design competition that happened at the forums. You can look at the beta image [http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/DIY%20Material/Batch%201,%20Posters/HanZo/poster-v01.jpg here]

The image will yet be edited a bit (especially the white text), but is a sure winner now. HanZo will be getting 5 free prints. There will be a total of 500 prints, available by email order from JendaVancura approximately for production costs. To read more about the competition, please read [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248546 this forum thread]

Universe Version Freeze

Daniel Holbach tells us that the Universe Freeze is now in effect. This means that no new upstream versions will be synced and no new packages will be admitted entrance to the Universe repository. All is not lost for those certain emergencies though, as you can always file a UVF exception; the process for this is explained [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Processes/UVF here].

For an exception, please make sure you attach all the necessary information and in cases of NEW packages have it reviewed and approved on REVU beforehand! Universe Freeze is in accordance with the Edgy release schedule which can be found [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule here].

Changes in Edgy

As previously mentioned, universe is moving towards frozen, which will slow down the changes in Edgy somewhat. However, this week was a busy one, as people raced to beat the freeze.

Sebastian and Daniel of the GNOME uploading team started in on GNOME 2.16.1 at the end of the week, with the bulk being uploaded after Sept 30th. 2.16.1 is the first of 3 bug fix releases on the stable branch of GNOME. Bits of the underlying libraries were also updated as well, with the uploading of gtk 2.10.4 and gtkmm1:2.10.2 by Sebastien and Daniel respectively.

Other updated GNOME and GTK-based applications this week included glom 1.1.2, clamtk 2.24 (both uploaded by Daniel Holbach), lat 1.0.7, bluefish 1.0.6, and wifi-radar 1.9.7 (synced from Debian), the new Novell/SUSE menu, slab 0.0.cvs.20060915, synced by Sebastian Bacher, who also uploaded glade-3 3.0.2 and Sebastian Droege uploaded brasero 0.4.4.

The multimedia side of Ubuntu got a great deal of action this week. Daniel Chen uploaded an SVN version of vlc, 0.8.6-svn20060918 as well as mutagen 1.7.1, Sebastien Droege uploaded the new last-exit, 3.0 as well as banshee-official-plugins 0.11.0, William Alexander Grant got working on the new soundcoverter, 0.9.1, and Anthony Mercatante uploaded the new kmplayer 0.9.3. In the MythTV universe, ivtv 0.7.0 and the new myththemes 0.20, the latter uploaded by William Grant, made their way into the archives. A number of new versions of various multimedia tools were also synced from Debian, including mpqc 2.3.1, cdtool 2.1.8, rosegarden 1.2.4, djplay 0.3.0.

The world of Telepathy continued at is usual frantic pace this week, with the syncing of telepathy-stream-engine 0.3.6, farsight 0.1.8, gst-plugins-farsight 0.10.2and telepathy-gabble 0.3.7 from Debian and the new telepathy-butterfly 0.1.0 (a connector for MSN), its underlying library pymsn 0.2.1 and telepathy-blue 0.0.1.1~darcs20060926 (a bluetooth/sms connector). Daniel Holbach also uploaded libgalago 0.5.1+svn20060928, telepathy-feed 0.13 and cohoba 0.0.4. Also on the communications front, Daniel Holbach uploaded gossip 0.17 and loudmouth 1.1.4 while asterisk 1.2.12.1 was synced from Debian.

For those of you who use your Ubuntu machine for a bit of gaming, this week was not all work. bomberclone 0.11.7, lincity-ng 1.0.3, pioneers 0.10.2 and stellarium 0.8.1 were all synced from Debian.

If you the scientific pays the bills or floats your fancy, this week brings the syncing of tulip 2.0.5, openbabel 2.0.2, and pcb 20060822 from Debian, William Alexander Grant uploading biosquid 1.9g+cvs20050121, amap-align 2.0, astronomical-almanac 5.6, and treeviewx 0.5.1. In a more medical vein, the gnumed-client 0.2.2a was synced from Debian.

The Ichthux team keeps rolling along, with Raphael Pinson uploading bibletime 1.6 and bibletime-i18n 1.6. He also uploaded ichthux-konqueror-shortcuts 0.1, a new set of Ichthux specific bookmarks. Jordan Mantha also uploaded sword-text-dutsvv 1.3, sword-text-swahili 1.0, sword-text-tagalog 1.1, and sword-text-viet 1.4.

Mattias Klose may have the misfortune to have to deal with OpenOffice.org, but he still has time to deal with Zope and this week he did exactly that, uploading zope-cmfplacefulworkflow 1.0.0, zope-pluginregistry 1.1, zope-pas 1.2, zope-plonepas 2.0.1, zope-statusmessages 2.0, and zope-passwordresettool 0.4, all new packages to Debian and Ubuntu.

Various pieces of Java software also got updated this week. They include classpath 0.92, an integral part of the free Java stack. This release brings Cairo graphics. You can read more at http://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=4573. Also updated were axis 1.4 and wsdl4j 1.5.2.

If you use any of the distribution revision control systems (and you should be), this week brought you some new toys. Users of bzr were given 0.11-rc3 (the final was out as of writing) and if you prefer a graphical frontend, olive 0.11, a Summer of Code project that is going strong after the summer is over, was uploaded as well. bzrtools was also updated to 0.11.0 for the new bzr release. Another popular system is mercurial, which was updated to 0.9.1. And for those that cannot decide, there is a tool for moving between revision control systems. It is called tailor and you get version 0.9.26 as of this week.

In other server news, several popular applications were updated. They include egroupware 1.2-105 (Users of groupware should read http://www.jwz.org/doc/groupware.html) and horde3 3.1.3.The 0.5.5 release of the, "light and fast" web server, cherokee found its way into Ubuntu.

If you fancy a spot of file sharing, nicotine 1.2.4.1 and mldonkey 2.8.1 are now available. However, if you seek the need to protect your identity while doing it, tor 0.1.1.23 can help you do that.

Users of gmail received a gift with the uploading of gmailfs 0.7.2, which allows you to turn your gmail account into another file system. The more prosaic use case of merely checking a gmail account got easier with the release of checkgmail 1.10, which apparently uses Atom feeds for notification. On the server end of the mail system, maildrop 2.0.2 and geximon 0.7.3 are now available.

The Xubuntu people, while not as insanely busy as the GNOME uploading team, still manage a respectable output. This weeks haul includes the new xfce4-dict-plugin 0.1.0, uploaded by Gauvain Pocentek and a number of new bits of xffm, the XFCE file manager. They include xffm-applications 4.5.0, xffm-book 4.5.0, xffm-locate 4.5.0 and an underlying library libxffm 4.5.0.

A few pieces of Kubuntu were also updated, including a new SVN snapshot of kde-systemsettings, 0.0svn20060929, uploaded by Anthony Mercatante. He also uploaded the 0.1 release of knetworkmanager, the KDE frontend to the Network Manager tool. Not yet part of Kubuntu, strigi is a desktop search and indexing tool. This week saw version 0.3.8 of the program, strigi, and the applet, strigiapplet.

A new Firefox plugin for interacting with Launchpad was uploaded this week, firefox-launchpad-plugin 0.1. If you fancy your web browsing slightly more basic, links 2.1pre23, the new version of the Links webbrowser might be more up your alley.

A couple of final things you might be interested include a new version of espeak, the speech synthesizer, 1.15, a new Intel video driver update by Matthew Garrett, 1.6.0, the 2nd release candidate of the 1.0 release of Fluxbox, 0.9.15.1+1.0rc2. Andrew Mitchell uploaded the new krb5-auth-dialog 0.6, which is a dialog for dialog for reauthenticating kerberos tickets. Those of you still stuck with Windows partitions will notice the new ntfs-3g 20060920, which allows full read and write to NTFS drives, all done in userspace. Lastly, Xen has 2.6.17 this week, thanks to the hard work of Chuck Short. xen-source-2.6.17 and xen-restricted-modules-2.6.17 were uploaded right on the last day of the month.

Launchpad News

Welcome to another round of Launchpad updates covering changes included in this week's rollout. This cycle was mainly focused on polishing of existing features, although a number of new features that are under development were brought closer to deployment.

Bug watch enhancements

The new features deployed in this rollout make bug watches a bit more convenient to work with: it is now possible to specify a remote bug tracker for a specific upstream product; when adding new bug watches to distribution bugs, the bugtracker and product name will be prefilled if there is information linking the package to an upstream product.

The prefilling also works for upstream products that are officially using Launchpad as a bug tracker. For instance, if you visit the page for the [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/bzr/+bugs bazaar source package in Ubuntu], notice a bug which is an upstream matter, when marking it as upstream you will notice that the name "bazaar" is already filled in. This small improvement is the first in a number of enhancements planned for upstream bug forwarding.

Bug information can now also be synchronized from archived debian bugs; this is the reason why a number of bug watches were updated at once this week (and you may have received some bugmail letting you know!).

CVE reports

The CVE report pages were reformatted and optimized; you can see the general CVE status for Ubuntu [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+cve here]

This listing displays CVEs related to bugs, and their current status. There are now also CVE reports for upstream products -- but no products have CVEs linked to their bugs yet!

Other bug tracking improvements

Handling of binary package names as input in the Package: field was improved in the bug-filing and bug-changing page. Oh, and the 'Untriaged' status was renamed to 'Undecided'; this avoids confusing the concepts of "status triage" and "importance definition". Time to update your bookmarks!

Distribution and package management enhancements

On the distribution management front, this rollout included new formatting for mirror listings; the number of official mirrors for Ubuntu is growing rapidly, and we aim to make this information authoritative for the distribution in the coming weeks:

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+cdmirrors https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+archivemirrors

This rollout meant deployment of the optimization and code improvement work done in the London sprint. Visible results of this deployment are significantly faster publisher runs (with no-op runs taking negligible time, and the faster 'real' runs taking around 7 minutes). Package builds are now issued to saner sets of architectures, taking into account package-specific architecture restrictions. With respect to upload processing, failed uploads now trigger email notifications to the person uploading as well; uploads to frozen releases go straight to the pending-approval queue, and superseding backport uploads behave as expected.

The Soyuz team also invested long hours into an acceptance testing system which was used to verify the changes done over this period prior to rollout. The test system successfully pointed out regressions and allowed fixes to be verified before deployment.

A script for automatically retrying failed builds was implemented, and the queue tool was updated to include pocket information and behave correctly in a few corner cases (read the detailed changelog for the details).

Branches in the Bazaar

One interesting Launchpad feature for upstream products is the tracking of series and releases. Each release represents an actual new tarball release of upstream; a series represents a line of tarball releases that were spawned from the same long-term code branch.

Product series can now have Bazaar branches linked to them, this branch ideally containing the coding work done for that specific series. The product can select which series is its main development ("trunk", or "HEAD" in CVS terms) series, containing new feature work being implemented. This allows Launchpad to more closely model the coding work done on an upstream product, which will in turn make it easier to use Bazaar to manage the codebase for a product, and in particular, derivations of that codebase.

Other news

On the translations front, improvements to the automatic package imports were deployed; they reduce the amount of manual nursing required for imports of packages with unusual directory layouts. Language pack generation was optimized, as were the pages that report translation status for languages in specific distribution releases. A number of additional performance improvements are in queue and will be deployed as part of the next rollout.

In the ticket tracker, subscriptions of support contacts were modified to be implicit. This means that new support contacts are automatically notified of all existing ticket modifications.

The calendaring feature in Launchpad was temporarily disabled; we found it was too buggy to be useful, and have chosen to now focus on features which are priorities for this period.

In The Press

Ubuntu isn't quite yet synonymous with Linux, but it is increasingly

referenced in the tech press whenever the subject of Linux is raised. Check out this recent comment by Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz:

We're not anti-vendor. We're not here to bash anybody. Every single business we're in must be multi-platform if it's going to be successful. When I'm selling the hardware we're talking about, I'm going to be thrilled to talk to the Linux community about running Ubuntu on Niagara. When I'm talking about Solaris I'm going to be thrilled to talk to you about HP and Dell. They are no longer competitors in my mind. They are now channel partners.

There's more [http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/3634846 here]
Malcolm Yates, Canonical's ISV and partner manager has been interviewed

by Information Week on the topic of Ubuntu's growing relationships with Independent Software Vendors and Original Equipment Manufacturers:

I think the next few months will see us involved more and more with enterprises looking at using Ubuntu to deliver business solutions. Previously, we have seen Ubuntu deployed in organizations where it it was hidden, but now with full and extended support, we are getting calls, to move to Ubuntu as a major Linux platform.

Feature Of The Week - Bip

Bip, an IRC proxy, keeps you connected to IRC, stores logs, and can even produce a backlog which displays upon connection from your IRC client to the server. You can install Bip on a server that stays connected, and connect as many clients as you wish while using the same nickname. So, once you setup Bip, you connect to it like you would any ordinary server, while using your IP, port, and a custom password (which bip can generate and encrypt) - Bip will do the rest.

For instance, Bip is setup on server 192.168.1.3, using the default Bip port of 7778, and using the username 'Bip', password 'biprocks', and network 'freenode'. I would set my client up to connect to the server and port, and in the "Password" section for the connection on my IRC client, I would enter Bip:biprocks:freenode. Now, I am connected from my localhost to my Bip server, which means I can reboot my localhost and never loose connection to IRC, meaning I won't miss a thing. People on IRC won't even know I rebooted!

Info: http://bip.berlios.de

Help: #bip on irc.oftc.net for the official support channel. Also, feel free to contact RichardJohnson on IRC as nixternal for more help. You can find him on Freenode and OFTC regularly.

== Notizie Generali ==

=== Scott James Remnant a LugRadio ===
Agli ininizi della settimana, Scott durante la presentazione della versione di upstart 0.2.7, annunciò la sua presenza su LugRadio il lunedì: ''"seguite il prossimo episodio del programma: [[BR]] [http://www.lugradio.org/ LugRadio], che conterrà un'intervista su upstart con il vostro affezionato (se Jono si ricorderà di attaccare il mio microfono :p); questo avverrà il prossimo Lunedì."''
=== Scott James Remnant su Edgy+1 ===
Edgy non è stato ancora pubblicato ma gli utenti sono già impazienti di vedere Edgy+1. Scott di recente ha scherzato ed il suo scherzo ha colto nel segno sul suo blog con un post intitolato "Cosa mi aspetto di trovare in Edgy+1". Il post è mirato al sondaggio delle tecnologie che rendono più accessibile la comunicazione, sia tra utenti che tra hardware. Scott ha parlato di Telepathy, la nuova struttura per la comunicazione, e come (galago e farsight) modificheranno il sistema di comunicare degli utenti così come sarà più facile per i programmatori inserire le funzioni IM nelle loro applicazioni. Continuando sul fronte della comunicazione, Scott quindi parla della configurazione automatica della rete con Avahi e Zeroconf come pure della facilità di connessione con bluetooth con una sincronizzazione migliore. Altre notizie sul sito: [[BR]] http://www.netsplit.com/blog/articles/2006/09/22/what-i-want-in-edgy-1 [[BR]]
=== LTSP Hackfest ===
I membri del progetto [http://ltsp.org LTSP project], ed i programmatori provenienti da diverse distribuzioni si sono riuniti a Clarkston, Michigan la settimana scorsa per organizzare il futuro di LTSP. Ubuntu era presente per assistere all'inizio dei lavori della fusione tra Ubuntu LTSP e la linea principale LTSP. Era presente  Jorge Castro che ha scritto sull'evento: [[BR]] [http://news.linux.com/news/06/09/21/233234.shtml?tid=47 Linux.com].
== Nuove applicazioni In Edgy ==
La versione Beta di Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft)è di prossima pubblicazione (il 28 di Settembre). Per questa ragione Matt Zimmerman ne ha annunciato il congelamento fino al momento della pubblicazione.

A number of ichthux-* packages rolled into Edgy in the last week. These are packages for a Kubuntu-based project called Ichthux (http://www.ichthux.com) which is producing a set of default apps and artwork for the Christian user community. So far ichthux-meta, ichthux-default-settings, ichthux-emoticons, and ichthux-konqueror-shortcuts have been uploaded along with several Sword modules for various languages with more to come before the Edgy Universe Freeze.  The Ichthux development team is composed of Ubuntu and Debian developers such as Raphaël Pinson (Kubuntu core dev), Jordan Mantha (MOTU), and Ben Armstrong (Debian Developer).

Readahead, a tool to speed up boot times by reading files into a cache, has recently been updated by Scott James Remnant. In order for readahead to be effective, it must be updated regularly. On a development release, this can be somewhat tricky, due to the number of changes made. Futher, several communities members playing with readahead discovered it ran better in the foreground during boot, rather than the background. Both of these changes, amongst others, can be found in readahead-list_0.20050517.0220. You can read more about the specific changes, including boot times, at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-September/020967.html

Martin Pitt has announced the general availability of packages with debug symbols, as part of the apt-get-debug symbols spec (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/apt-get-debug-symbols). Currently the packages are only available through Martin's people.ubuntu.com archive, but work is preceding apace on getting them into the Ubuntu archives. Further, work is also being done to pull in the debug packages automatically, via the new crash collection tool, apport.

A common question users ask is why Ubuntu does not install NetworkManager, a new tool to control wireless and other networks, by default. NetworkManager was evaluated in the 6.06 development cycle and found lacking, although a fully comprehensive answer has never really been available. In a recent thread on ubuntu-devel asking this very question, Scott James Remnant laid out the various issues. You can read Scott's answer at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-September/020886.html

Daniel Holbach, between uploading new telepathy packages, found time to update the various PDA utilities. 
pilot-link (0.12.1), gnome-pilot and gnome-pilot-conduits (both 2.0.14) have landed in Edgy. Daniel has also asked for testers of this new code, over at the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PDATesters/Hardware wiki page. You can read more about it at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-September/020880.html

The Telepathy team continued full steam ahead this week. Telepathy-inspector was updated to 0.3.4. Riccardo Setti also joined the team, uploading telepathy-gabble 0.3.6. Finally, the ever busy Scott James Remnant wrote a blog post about what he would like to see in Edgy+1. Featured prominently in the blog post was Telepathy. You can read Scott's post at http://www.netsplit.com/blog/articles/2006/09/22/what-i-want-in-edgy-1

The world of Edgy, was, as always, busy these week. These are only a small fraction of the changes that happened in the Edgy world. If you don't see something you think should have been covered (maybe something else Scott did?), we are always looking for new editors.

== Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) Beta Release ==

The beta releases of Kubuntu 6.10 and Ubuntu 6.10 were made this week.

Kubuntu features stylish new artwork, improved power management and
better accessibility.  See:

 https://wiki.kubuntu.org/EdgyEft/Beta/Kubuntu

Ubuntu features Firefox 2 beta and adds Tomboy and F-spot. Artwork
hasn't been neglected either. See:

== Akademy 2006 ==

Report by Jonathan Riddell.

"Even though I was not able to attend the whole Akademy this year (due
to the Kubuntu beta release) the conference, e.V. meeting and BoF
sessions I did make it to were exciting and showed great promise for KDE
4.

Firstly, thanks to Canonical for making Kubuntu a Gold sponsor of
Akademy, it was lovely to have large Kubuntu banners all over the
lecture theatres as well as a hacker lab full of Kubuntu machines.

KDE 4 has been a long time coming, but with the presentations at the
weekend we got to see the multimedia layer Phonon in action and the
hardware layer Solid at work.  In the KDE 4 build environment we saw a
full KDE 4 session being run - a first for many people.  There's still
plenty of work to be done; the Plasma desktop still has no screenshots
and the Telepathy project Decibel is behind schedule, but with the first
developers' preview now out and packages available in Kubuntu Edgy,
development should now accelarate.

We were pleased to have a number of speakers from other communities
including Gnome's John Palmieri, who convinced us that it's not just KDE
who are happy to have competition, Keith Packard, who wrote some special
code to ensure his laptop worked with the university's projector and
showed other wonders of hotswap pluggyness that will be coming into X
soon, and Jin Yoon, who showed us the open platform used on his Ricoh
printers.

Looking very promising is KHTML, where the decision on whether to keep
the original KHTML or convert to a version of WebKit will likely be
taken soon.  We also got to see the Qt 4 C# bindings and using
Javascript to manage any application's object tree just like a web page DOM.

The Akademy Awards were given to the author of Krita, a painting
application that now rivals the free and proprietary competition; the
poor soul who converted all of KDE from autotools to the CMake build
system and the Mandriva coder who has made more KDE 3 to KDE 4 commits
than anyone else.

Unfortunately, Mark Shuttleworth had to cancel his visit after Canonical
One needed repairs, but I managed to hold a successful Kubuntu BoF on my
own showing what we had done in Edgy and working out how to get those
changes further upstream.  The SuSE developers were especially
interested in Ubuntu's thinkpad-keys daemon.

KDE e.V. is KDE's legal body, and in a day long meeting we went over the
usual administrative matters that projects the size of KDE have to.  We
also chose the location of Akademy 2007 of which I will be one of the
organisers, details to be announced soon."

== Ubuntu Poster Competition Yields Results ==

Ubuntuforums.org user HanZo has created a winning entry for a poster
design competition that happened at the forums. You can look at the beta
image [http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/DIY%20Material/Batch%201,%20Posters/HanZo/poster-v01.jpg here]

The image will yet be edited a bit (especially the white text), but is a
sure winner now. HanZo will be getting 5 free prints. There will be a
total of 500 prints, available by email order from JendaVancura
approximately for production costs. To read more about the competition,
please read [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248546 this forum thread]

== Universe Version Freeze ==

Daniel Holbach tells us that the Universe Freeze is now in effect. This
means that no new upstream versions will be synced and no new packages
will be admitted entrance to the Universe repository. All is not lost
for those certain emergencies though, as you can always file a UVF
exception; the process for this is explained [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Processes/UVF here].

For an exception, please make sure you attach all the necessary
information and in cases of NEW packages have it reviewed and approved
on REVU beforehand! Universe Freeze is in accordance with the Edgy release schedule which
can be found [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule here].

==  Changes in Edgy ==

As previously mentioned, universe is moving towards frozen, which will slow down the changes in Edgy somewhat. However, this week was a busy one, as people raced to beat the freeze.

Sebastian and Daniel of the GNOME uploading team started in on GNOME 2.16.1 at the end of the week, with the bulk being uploaded after Sept 30th. 2.16.1 is the first of 3 bug fix releases on the stable branch of GNOME. Bits of the underlying libraries were also updated as well, with the uploading of gtk 2.10.4 and gtkmm1:2.10.2 by Sebastien and Daniel respectively.

Other updated GNOME and GTK-based applications this week included glom 1.1.2, clamtk 2.24 (both uploaded by Daniel Holbach), lat 1.0.7, bluefish 1.0.6, and wifi-radar 1.9.7 (synced from Debian), the new Novell/SUSE menu, slab 0.0.cvs.20060915, synced by Sebastian Bacher, who also uploaded  glade-3 3.0.2 and Sebastian Droege uploaded brasero 0.4.4.

The multimedia side of Ubuntu got a great deal of action this week. Daniel Chen uploaded an SVN version of vlc, 0.8.6-svn20060918 as well as mutagen 1.7.1, Sebastien Droege uploaded the new last-exit, 3.0 as well as banshee-official-plugins 0.11.0, William Alexander Grant got working on the new soundcoverter, 0.9.1, and Anthony Mercatante uploaded the new kmplayer 0.9.3. In the MythTV universe, ivtv 0.7.0 and the new myththemes 0.20, the latter uploaded by William Grant, made their way into the archives. A number of new versions of various multimedia tools were also synced from Debian, including mpqc 2.3.1,  cdtool 2.1.8, rosegarden 1.2.4, djplay 0.3.0.

The world of Telepathy continued at is usual frantic pace this week, with the syncing of telepathy-stream-engine 0.3.6, farsight 0.1.8,  gst-plugins-farsight 0.10.2and telepathy-gabble 0.3.7 from Debian and the new telepathy-butterfly 0.1.0 (a connector for MSN), its underlying library pymsn 0.2.1 and telepathy-blue 0.0.1.1~darcs20060926 (a bluetooth/sms connector). Daniel Holbach also uploaded libgalago 0.5.1+svn20060928, telepathy-feed 0.13 and cohoba 0.0.4. Also on the communications front, Daniel Holbach uploaded gossip 0.17 and loudmouth 1.1.4 while asterisk 1.2.12.1 was synced from Debian.

For those of you who use your Ubuntu machine for a bit of gaming, this week was not all work. bomberclone 0.11.7, lincity-ng 1.0.3, pioneers 0.10.2 and stellarium 0.8.1 were all synced from Debian.

If you the scientific pays the bills or floats your fancy, this week brings the syncing of tulip 2.0.5, openbabel 2.0.2, and pcb 20060822 from Debian, William Alexander Grant uploading biosquid 1.9g+cvs20050121, amap-align 2.0, astronomical-almanac 5.6, and treeviewx 0.5.1. In a more medical vein, the gnumed-client 0.2.2a was synced from Debian.

The Ichthux team keeps rolling along, with Raphael Pinson uploading bibletime 1.6 and bibletime-i18n 1.6. He also uploaded ichthux-konqueror-shortcuts 0.1, a new set of Ichthux specific bookmarks. Jordan Mantha also uploaded sword-text-dutsvv 1.3, sword-text-swahili 1.0, sword-text-tagalog 1.1, and sword-text-viet 1.4.

Mattias Klose may have the misfortune to have to deal with OpenOffice.org, but he still has time to deal with Zope and this week he did exactly that, uploading zope-cmfplacefulworkflow 1.0.0, zope-pluginregistry 1.1, zope-pas 1.2, zope-plonepas 2.0.1, zope-statusmessages 2.0, and zope-passwordresettool 0.4, all new packages to Debian and Ubuntu.

Various pieces of Java software also got updated this week. They include classpath 0.92, an integral part of the free Java stack. This release brings Cairo graphics. You can read more at http://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=4573. Also updated were axis 1.4 and wsdl4j 1.5.2.

If you use any of the distribution revision control systems (and you should be), this week brought you some new toys. Users of bzr were given 0.11-rc3 (the final was out as of writing) and if you prefer a graphical frontend, olive 0.11, a Summer of Code project that is going strong after the summer is over, was uploaded as well. bzrtools was also updated to 0.11.0 for the new bzr release. Another popular system is mercurial, which was updated to  0.9.1. And for those that cannot decide, there is a tool for moving between revision control systems. It is called tailor and you get version 0.9.26 as of this week.

In other server news, several popular applications were updated. They include egroupware 1.2-105 (Users of groupware should read http://www.jwz.org/doc/groupware.html) and horde3 3.1.3.The 0.5.5 release of the, "light and fast" web server, cherokee found its way into Ubuntu.

If you fancy a spot of file sharing,  nicotine 1.2.4.1 and mldonkey 2.8.1 are now available. However, if you seek the need to protect your identity while doing it, tor 0.1.1.23 can help you do that.

Users of gmail received a gift with the uploading of gmailfs 0.7.2, which allows you to turn your gmail account into another file system. The more prosaic use case of merely checking a gmail account got easier with the release of checkgmail 1.10, which apparently uses Atom feeds for notification. On the server end of the mail system, maildrop 2.0.2 and geximon 0.7.3 are now available.

The Xubuntu people, while not as insanely busy as the GNOME uploading team, still manage a respectable output. This weeks haul includes the new xfce4-dict-plugin 0.1.0, uploaded by Gauvain Pocentek and a number of new bits of xffm, the XFCE file manager. They include xffm-applications 4.5.0, xffm-book 4.5.0, xffm-locate 4.5.0 and an underlying library libxffm 4.5.0.

A few pieces of Kubuntu were also updated, including a new SVN snapshot of kde-systemsettings, 0.0svn20060929, uploaded by Anthony Mercatante. He also uploaded the 0.1 release of knetworkmanager, the KDE frontend to the Network Manager tool. Not yet part of Kubuntu, strigi is a desktop search and indexing tool. This week saw version 0.3.8 of the program, strigi, and the applet, strigiapplet.

A new Firefox plugin for interacting with Launchpad was uploaded this week, firefox-launchpad-plugin 0.1. If you fancy your web browsing slightly more basic, links 2.1pre23, the new version of the Links webbrowser might be more up your alley.

A couple of final things you might be interested include a new version of espeak, the speech synthesizer, 1.15, a new Intel video driver update by Matthew Garrett, 1.6.0, the 2nd release candidate of the 1.0 release of Fluxbox, 0.9.15.1+1.0rc2. Andrew Mitchell uploaded the new krb5-auth-dialog 0.6, which is a dialog for dialog for reauthenticating kerberos tickets. Those of you still stuck with Windows partitions will notice the new ntfs-3g 20060920, which allows full read and write to NTFS drives, all done in userspace. Lastly, Xen has 2.6.17 this week, thanks to the hard work of Chuck Short.  xen-source-2.6.17 and xen-restricted-modules-2.6.17 were uploaded right on the last day of the month.

== Launchpad News ==

Welcome to another round of Launchpad updates covering changes included
in this week's rollout. This cycle was mainly focused on polishing of
existing features, although a number of new features that are under
development were brought closer to deployment.

=== Bug watch enhancements ===

The new features deployed in this rollout make bug watches a bit more
convenient to work with: it is now possible to specify a remote bug
tracker for a specific upstream product; when adding new bug watches to
distribution bugs, the bugtracker and product name will be prefilled if
there is information linking the package to an upstream product.

The prefilling also works for upstream products that are officially
using Launchpad as a bug tracker. For instance, if you visit the page
for the [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/bzr/+bugs bazaar source package in Ubuntu], notice a bug which is an upstream matter, when marking it as
upstream you will notice that the name "bazaar" is already filled in.
This small improvement is the first in a number of enhancements planned
for upstream bug forwarding.

Bug information can now also be synchronized from archived debian bugs;
this is the reason why a number of bug watches were updated at once this
week (and you may have received some bugmail letting you know!).

=== CVE reports ===

The CVE report pages were reformatted and optimized; you can see the
general CVE status for Ubuntu [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+cve here]

This listing displays CVEs related to bugs, and their current status.
There are now also CVE reports for upstream products -- but no products
have CVEs linked to their bugs yet!

=== Other bug tracking improvements ===

Handling of binary package names as input in the Package: field was
improved in the bug-filing and bug-changing page. Oh, and the
'Untriaged' status was renamed to 'Undecided'; this avoids confusing the
concepts of "status triage" and "importance definition". Time to update
your bookmarks!

=== Distribution and package management enhancements ===

On the distribution management front, this rollout included new
formatting for mirror listings; the number of official mirrors
for Ubuntu is growing rapidly, and we aim to make this information
authoritative for the distribution in the coming weeks:

 https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+cdmirrors
 https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+archivemirrors

This rollout meant deployment of the optimization and code improvement
work done in the London sprint. Visible results of this deployment are
significantly faster publisher runs (with no-op runs taking negligible
time, and the faster 'real' runs taking around 7 minutes). Package
builds are now issued to saner sets of architectures, taking into
account package-specific architecture restrictions. With respect to
upload processing, failed uploads now trigger email notifications to the
person uploading as well; uploads to frozen releases go straight to the
pending-approval queue, and superseding backport uploads behave as
expected.

The Soyuz team also invested long hours into an acceptance testing
system which was used to verify the changes done over this period prior
to rollout. The test system successfully pointed out regressions and
allowed fixes to be verified before deployment.

A script for automatically retrying failed builds was implemented, and
the queue tool was updated to include pocket information and behave
correctly in a few corner cases (read the detailed changelog for the
details).

=== Branches in the Bazaar ===

One interesting Launchpad feature for upstream products is the tracking
of series and releases. Each release represents an actual new tarball
release of upstream; a series represents a line of tarball releases that
were spawned from the same long-term code branch.

Product series can now have Bazaar branches linked to them, this branch
ideally containing the coding work done for that specific series. The
product can select which series is its main development ("trunk", or
"HEAD" in CVS terms) series, containing new feature work being
implemented. This allows Launchpad to more closely model the coding work
done on an upstream product, which will in turn make it easier to use
Bazaar to manage the codebase for a product, and in particular,
derivations of that codebase.

=== Other news ===

On the translations front, improvements to the automatic package imports
were deployed; they reduce the amount of manual nursing required for
imports of packages with unusual directory layouts. Language pack
generation was optimized, as were the pages that report translation
status for languages in specific distribution releases. A number of
additional performance improvements are in queue and will be deployed as
part of the next rollout.

In the ticket tracker, subscriptions of support contacts were modified to
be implicit. This means that new support contacts are automatically
notified of all existing ticket modifications.

The calendaring feature in Launchpad was temporarily disabled; we found
it was too buggy to be useful, and have chosen to now focus on features
which are priorities for this period.

-Enterprise Storage Forum takes a look at The Wayback Machine (http://www.archive.org) and find Ubuntu under the hood:

''As for the software running the system, it's almost all open source. "Primarily now we're using the Ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com) release of Debian (www.debian.org) for our OS," says Berry. "It's very easy to manage and install. We also use Linux, which we've used for many years in different flavors. And we use Apache and things like Perl and PHP."''

''For the Archive, the decision to go with open source software was based on cost savings as well as experience.''

''"Obviously you don't pay the big licensing fees," says Berry. "But it also gives us a lot of openness and freedom, and the Archive is usually pushing some technical edge. So it's nice to have that flexibility, which we wouldn't necessarily have had with vendor software." ''

More tech details about the archive can be found at http://tinyurl.co.uk/rho1

CNET's Tom Merritt has recorded a video introduction to Ubuntu. You can watch it http://tinyurl.co.uk/gi50

Userful Corporation and Canonical are working together to deliver even more value to organizations that deploy Ubuntu:

''"Our virtualized X-server enables a single Ubuntu PC equipped with extra video cards to support up to 10 monitors, USB keyboards, and users simultaneously," says Tim Griffin, President of Userful. "Ubuntu with Userful's 'Multiplier' offers dramatic hardware and software savings, literally offering organizations ten Linux workstations for what they would otherwise spend on just a single Windows computer with commercial office and graphics software."''

''Userful's Multiplier software is ideally suited for organizations that wish to deploy large numbers of workstations for users without deploying a large number of computers. By sharing the processing power and resources of modern, often overpowered PCs with up to nine additional users, Userful and Ubuntu can reduce IT management, electrical and cooling costs by more than fifty percent per workstation.''

''"By making Userful's Multiplier available on Ubuntu, we are adding significantly to the potential savings to be made by our customers," commented Malcolm Yates, ISV and Partner Manager at Canonical. "This unique solution is suitable for schools, small businesses and developing markets, where computing resources tend to be scarce."''

(Full Disclosure: Ubuntu Weekly New's Chief Editor, Corey Burger, works for Userful and fought to exclude this story due to conflict of interest. He was overruled.)

ITWeek.co.uk and WhatPC.co.uk reporter Barry Shilliday has discussed two alternative methods of installing extra software on Ubuntu, and also discussed the Kubuntu desktop alternative.

''In this article, we expand on a previous article that examined the update of a fresh Ubuntu Dapper Drake installation to make it more desktop and multimedia-friendly, by looking at the automated options.''

''In addition, we take a closer look at Ubuntu’s KDE offspring, Kubuntu.''

While we appreciate the discussion, we would like to advise that use of EasyUbuntu and Automatix are generally discouraged.

For many end users simply unplugging a usb thumbdrive is the norm. What many, however, do not know is that this can be damaging to the data. Edgy now has a small unobtrusive warning popup that informs the user if the data did not sync before unplugging usb. This will prevent many usb related data losses.

== Feature Of The Week - Bip ==

Bip, an IRC proxy, keeps you connected to IRC, stores logs, and can
even produce a backlog which displays upon connection from your IRC
client to the server. You can install Bip on a server that stays
connected, and connect as many clients as you wish while using the same
nickname. So, once you setup Bip, you connect to it like you would any
ordinary server, while using your IP, port, and a custom password (which
bip can generate and encrypt) - Bip will do the rest.

For instance, Bip is setup on server 192.168.1.3, using the default Bip
port of 7778, and using the username 'Bip', password 'biprocks', and
network 'freenode'. I would set my client up to connect to the server
and port, and in the "Password" section for the connection on my IRC
client, I would enter Bip:biprocks:freenode. Now, I am connected from my
localhost to my Bip server, which means I can reboot my localhost and
never loose connection to IRC, meaning I won't miss a thing. People on
IRC won't even know I rebooted!

Info: http://bip.berlios.de

Help: #bip on irc.oftc.net for the official support channel. Also, feel
free to contact RichardJohnson on IRC as nixternal for more help. You
can find him on Freenode and OFTC regularly.
