Weekly Summary

  • natty-proposed now has Firefox 5 and new language packs; please help testing where you can. (pitti)

  • Apport retracer should be working again for natty/lucid. (pitti)
  • Code for http://status.ubuntu.com/ now got merged into lp:launchpad-work-items-tracker, will be announced officially soon. (pitti)

  • Deprecated the usblp kernel module for USB printers and used libusb instead. CUPS upstream recommended this instead of accepting our patch for a hybrid (support for both usblp and libusb) USB backend. CUPS upstream accepted our patches for USB URI migration and for broken device ID support (USB-to-parallel adapters). (TillKamppeter)

  • Investigations on firmware file upload into HP's cheapo laser printers. (TillKamppeter)

  • Mesa upload (and subsequent Xserver upload) blocked on llvm-2.9 MIR (Bug #790204)
    • Extended the dricore patch to also factor out a shared Gallium library; saves a couple of megabytes of CD space
  • nvidia-current multiarch patch sent to Alberto Milone.
  • Cairo now has the EGL/GL backend re-enabled; this reopens https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/+bug/725434, resulting in nvidia's libGL causing each process that links with cairo (ie: anything that links to GTK) dirty about an additional 5MiB of memory. We need to decide what to do about this.
