[Bug 1874636] Re: Update lsvpd to v1.7.11 - ppc64le

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Is this for 20.10 or 20.04? I hear that you are asking for this (and
other tickets to be in both).

Ubuntu practices time-based release process. Meaning the dates of
releases are known well in advance. Which includes testing weeks.

Please familiarize with the Groovy Gorilla release schedule to become 20.10 release.
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/groovy-gorilla-release-schedule/15531

All dates are Thursdays, as we always release on Thursday (unspecified
timezone.... sometimes things go so well we slip into Friday =) )

Important dates are:
* Ubuntu Testing week 29 June - 3 July
* Feature Freeze August 27
* Ubuntu Testing week 31 August - 4 September
* Kernel Freeze 8 October
* Final Freeze 15 October
* Final Release 22 October

The two testing weeks, is when Ubuntu development team, Partners and
community pause to focus on testing install media, cloud images, and
upgrades. You are invited to participate during that time to report any
issues or missing things that you can identify. Please schedule to test
installers during those weeks, as we ensure we have up to date installer
media.

Please file requests for new packages, as soon as you anticipate that
they would be needed. Well ahead of, but no later than, Feature Freeze
date of August 27.

Kernel Freeze for patches/features/backports is October 8. But do file
requests for backports as soon as you know about that.

As we approach Final Freeze and Final Release, we only fix critical
issues that prevent installation or applying updates. As on Final
release week, these are the criteria for respining the installer media.

Groovy installation media dailies are already available, you can find
them from the QA ISO tracker which always points at latest daily
releases & milestones that are being tested at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/

Also we are continuously producing daily builds of upcoming point
releases for Bionic and Focal. Testing those ahead of point releases is
encouraged as well.

Can you please ensure you put the above mentioned dates into account
when scheduling your testing and acceptance of 20.10 such that any
issues are raised in time for us to fix the GA release before it goes
out to customers?
