This week we uploaded the 3.7.0-7.15 Raring kernel. It contained misc bug fixes and config tweaks, but no major rebases. As noted last week, we will keep the kernel in the Raring archive on a v3.7 based kernel until a few upstream v3.8-rc# iterations have passed. We'll then upload a v3.8 based kernel and remain on the v3.8 kernel for the remainder of the Raring cycle.

We also had a fire drill this week getting the Quantal and Precise kernels in -proposed released ahead of schedule in order to provide some needed hypervisor updates. A big thank you to both the release team, QA team, and Certification for their cooperation and coordination in shepherding this through.
We have rebased our Raring kernel to the latest upstream v3.8-rc2 Linux kernel. We are holding off on uploading until we resolve some DKMS package build failures. We anticipate these being resolved by end of week and will plan to upload shortly thereafter. This will be the first v3.8 based Raring kernel uploaded to the archive. We will continue to remain on the v3.8 kernel for the remainder of the 13.04 cycle.

Nothing at this time. With the Precise 12.04.2 point release also nearing, we are planning on skipping a kernel SRU cadence for Precise to allow for an additional 3 weeks of testing/baking for the kernel that will land in the 12.04.2 point release.

What was done engineering wise?

We have rebased our Raring kernel to the latest upstream v3.8-rc2 Linux kernel. We are holding off on uploading until we resolve some DKMS package build failures.

We will continue to remain on the v3.8 kernel for the remainder of the 13.04 cycle.

What's about to land that might impact the other teams and release as a whole?

With the Precise 12.04.2 point release also nearing, we are planning on skipping a kernel SRU cadence for Precise to allow for an additional 3 weeks of testing/baking for the kernel that will land in the 12.04.2 point release.

Dependencies on other teams to make deliverables, blocking items, release wide concerns?

Nothing at this time.
