ACTION: mathiaz to add test case for image store in testcases wiki

 * zul to add missing server-ship packages to ubuntu-server: Done

==== Karmic RC ====

Review of remaining karmic-nominated bugs:
 * Bug:455832: Not a regression and not encountered in normal use:
untargeted for release
 * Bug:451881: Only affects UEC, and not EC2, not critical for karmic:
untargeted for release
 * Bug:410886: vmbuilder needs to have the patch from trunk merged into
it: milestoned and assigned to soren
 * Bug:362511: Low importance, won't get fixed for karmic: untargeted
for release
 * Bug:453456 and Bug:455293: see below
 * Bug:455411: Harmless to users, too late to fix: untargeted for release
 * Bug:453495: Specific to qemu-only arches, can be dealt with
postrelease: untargeted for release
 * Bug:453453: doesn't seem realistic to do anything about this bug for
9.10: left at kirkland's discretion
 * Bug:453467: not 9.10-critical, untargeted for release
 * Bug:407949: milestoned to release, assigned to smoser, will trigger a
UEC/EC2 image respin

Review of the Ubuntu-Server-relevant tests[1] on the ISO tracker
revealed a few test cases that were not covered by any team member:
 * netboot: Daviey and kirkland will cover those, as they have a local
mirror
 * upgrades: zul will cover those cases. This involves defining a test
procedure, as the current one is Desktop-oriented.

ACTION: zul to write up server upgrade test case

==== Eucalyptus status ====

We fixed ~36 bugs in 9 uploads last week. A few remaining bugs were
mentioned during the review:

 * Bug:455816: Given that this is globally harmless and difficult to
test between RC and release, it's unlikely that this will be fixed for
release. mathiaz will validate the fix though.
 * Bug:453456: Would be fixed only if log rotation is proved to be
non-functional, and can be fixed in a SRU
 * Bug:455293: Fix is committed but is not worth a new upload. Will get
in only if something else gets fixed
 * Bug:455625: This bug seems bad, though it still needs to be
reproduced. Would get fixed in a Karmic SRU. nurmi is looking into
reproducing it.
 * Bug:452556 and Bug:444352: ttx hits those regularly in ISO testing,
the first one would warrant a note in release notes, this it seems
systematic (task opened)

ACTION: nurmi to investigate bug 455625

==== UEC/EC2 images ====

This was reviewed separately and found to be in good shape.

==== Reference UEC appliance ====

The demo will very closely resemble what soren posted the week before
last. The completely unpersistent appliance will be ready by Thursday.

ACTION: soren to complete demo virtual appliance

==== UEC appliance store ====

Integration with the "fake" test store was successfully tested. This
needs now to be tested ASAP against the production server, if available.
It can be tseted against Soren's demo appliance but also the stock UEC
image.

ACTION: mdz to chase down details on production image store

ACTION: mathiaz to test UEC integration with production image store

==== UEC documentation ====

Current community doc (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC and
http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/PackageInstall) needs to be worked
on. kirkland, nurmi, mathiaz and ttx stepped up to help in that area.
Discussion on splitting the work amongst this team will be held on a
mailing-list of kirkland's choice.

==== Assigned and to-be-assigned bugs review ====

Bug:455873 was assigned to zul, but since it is for hardy,
release-related tasks should take precedence.

==== AOB ====

ScottK mentioned that clamav 0.95.3 will likely be released on Monday,
so it'll go to -proposed.

==== Agree on next meeting date and time ====

Next meeting will be on Tuesday, October 27th at 15:00 UTC in
#ubuntu-meeting.
