Status: Quantal Development Kernel

a few things…
Work items are beginning to populate the blueprints. I’ll start calling
out specific work items in upcoming meetings.
We’ve rebased the Quantal kernel to upstream v3.4-rc7. We uploaded but
ran into a build failure on i386. Test builds are currently underway
and we will re-upload shortly. We also have the quantal kernel building
in precise. We are getting a PPA set up so that testing can commence.
Important upcoming dates:

• Thurs Jun 7 – Alpha 1 (~3 weeks)

Status: CVE’s

Currently we have 82 CVEs on our radar, with 5 new CVEs in the last
three weeks. See the CVE matrix for the current list:

http://people.canonical.com/~kernel/cve/pkg/ALL-linux.html

Overall the backlog has increased slightly slightly this week:

This week sees Quantal listed for the first time, and the addition
of the armadaxp kernels for ease of tracking.

Status: Precise Development Kernel

The Precise kernel is currently frozen and we are gearing up for release
this Thurs Apr 24. Release candidate images are already available. We
have prepared a day-0 kernel upload that contains a few bug fixes which
we would like to have immediately available to users. We will upload the
day-0 kernel to precise-proposed today and it will be pocket copied to
precise-updates. I then intend to hand the maintenance repsonibilities
of the Precise kernel over to the Stable Maintenance Kernel Team on
Friday.
Important upcoming dates:

• Thurs Apr 26 – Final Release (2 days! \o/)

Status: CVE’s

Currently we have 76 CVEs on our radar, with 5 new CVEs added this week.

Status: Stable, Security, and Bugfix Kernel Updates – Oneiric/Natty/Maverick/Lucid/Hardy

Here is the status for the main kernels, until today (Apr. 24):

• Hardy – 2.6.24-31.101 – Nothing last cycle
• Lucid – 2.6.32-41.88 – In updates
• Natty – 2.6.38-14.58 – In updates

  Due to this being releas week and people get testy when we upload
  a barrage of SRU kernels, we are starting the next cadence cycle
  next week. This also works out conveniently making UDS week a
  bug verification week.

Status: Precise Development Kernel

The Precise kernel is currently frozen and release candidate images are
set to be spun this Thurs Apr 19. Final release is almost 1 week away
on Thurs Apr 26. We have started queuing patches for the first kernel
SRU. This includes patches from the most recent v3.2.15 upstream stable
release. Should an additional upload be required before final release,
we will try to include a few bug fixes which have been queued. Please
note that at this point in time, all patches are subject to our SRU
policy and uploads will only be granted at the discretion of the release
team.

Status: Stable, Security, and Bugfix Kernel Updates – Oneiric/Natty/Maverick/Lucid/Hardy

Here is the status for the main kernels, until today (Apr. 10):

Oneiric has been somewhat problematic. We ran into a couple of very bad regressions
that were pretty quickly identified. Our policy is to “revert aggressively” however
our number one rule is to “Use our best judgement and do the right thing”. In this
case we are also running into the end of the Precise development cycle when testing
resources (human) are scarce. After discussing this with a number of people we have
decided to fix these known regressions and also pull in the stable release that was
sitting on master-next and crank that out. The cycle will be extended with regression
testing happening the week of May 1st.

• Hardy – 2.6.24-31.101 – Nothing this cycle
• Lucid – 2.6.32-41.88 – Verification; 52 commits in total.
• Maverick – 2.6.35-32.68 – Ready for -updates; NOTE: THIS IS THE LAST MAVERICK KERNEL!
• Natty – 2.6.38-14.58 – Ready for -updates; 12 commits in total. Mostly eCryptfs and KVM.
• Oneiric – 3.0.0-19.32 – Verification;
