I worked on a rewrite of PEP 999 which is now ready for an official submission upstream. I also worked on some bugs in computer-janitor (503727) and read up on dbus and policykit. === Colin Watson === * foundations-lucid-reliable-device-id-in-grub: * Continued work on removing reliance on device.map, including trying to avoid use of (hd0) in both grub-installer and ubiquity. (I got sidetracked into improving the way ubiquity handles raising privilege, and that's now much cleaner.) Spent a fair bit of time beating DM-RAID handling into shape. * Platform/IS review meeting. * Sponsorship: * apt-show-versions (intrepid) #292872 (no action required, closed). * bash-completion #482753 (unconvinced, commented). * Added launchpad-integration support to vim (#453103). * foundations-lucid-fix-iscsi-root: * Work on partman-iscsi correctness, prompted by an affected user showing up on IRC. Fortuitously let me deal with most of #473036, which is a Lucid work item; there's just one part of that left, namely working out what to do with persistent network interface naming in the initramfs. * openssh bug-fix backports (#497781, #505301). * Fixed a partman-uboot/ubiquity integration bug (#462798). * Fixed rescue mode to work with DM-RAID. === Evan Dandrea === === Gary Lasker === ==== Software Center ==== * Finished up performance and user experience improvements for app reselect.
