We are now 1 week away from the Release Candidate of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Since the RC is coming out in a week the archive has been frozen to keep buggy programs out of the main.
Here is some of the ubuntu-devel-announce Digest, Vol 30, Issue 5
We are now one week out from the 8.04 LTS release candidate and two weeks
from the final release, so the archive is now frozen and will not thaw again
before release.
As usual a member of the release team needs to approve any uploads to the main as it also says on this announcement:
During the freeze, all uploads to main must be approved by a member of the
release team, so if you have fixes that are important to get in and will
need discussion, please do get in touch as soon as possible. Uploads to
main should at this point focus on release-critical bugs only.
The list of Release Critical bugs are listed here:
Here is the last of the digest:
Additional bugs that are still considered “targets of opportunity” for the
release are found at:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+bugs
If you have bugs which you believe should be listed there but aren’t yet,
please get in touch with me or another member of the release team.Cheers,
