Beta2 milestone release (ttx)

• Beta2 will be released tomorrow (Thursday 2010-04-08). Server is looking good.

• Some Beta2 tasks still remain .

• 531494 has been fixed, and we are going to give ramdisk-free UEC and EC2 images one last chance. The 20100107.1 build will not have ramdisks and testing should be done both on EC2 and UEC for that. If we run into issues that look related to lack of ramdisk we will revert to using ramdisks for beta-2 and release.

RC/Final preparation (ttx)

• Release occurs at the end of the month. Priority until then is:
  • Release-critical bugs

This is where Apport comes into the game – a tool used to automatically generate crash reports for debugging. Apport can be extended via hooks to provide specific information on a per package basis. For example the Ubuntu Server team added hooks for MySQL during the Karmic release cycle. Relevant logs as well as configuration information are automatically added to every bug reported against the mysql package.

If you have ideas about adding apport hooks for other server related packages let the Ubuntu Server team know. Add it to the wiki page, look up how to write apport …

• Table and Index Partitioning to improve performance and management of very large database environments
