Don't expect a lot of new features, so testing done at all parts of the cycle will be incredibly relevant 11:05 <flocculant> make that an #info :p 11:05 <bluesabre> #info From a development perspective, we're targeting bug fixes to make 16.04 super stable. Don't expect a lot of new features, so testing done at all parts of the cycle will be incredibly relevant 11:05 <flocculant> :) 11:05 <bluesabre> and I'll have a similar message with the next sub 11:06 <flocculant> krytarik: any input on that? 11:06 <krytarik> flocculant: Sure, I agree. 11:06 <krytarik> Alpha 1, that is. 11:06 <krytarik> Woop, nope 2. 11:06 <bluesabre> :D 11:06 <flocculant> :) 11:07 <bluesabre> then we can move on to the next subtopic, yes? 11:07 <flocculant> ok - second point then - there is talk (not sure if it'll get further) of allowing flavours to stop builds 11:07 <bluesabre> ah 11:07 <bluesabre> that could be nice 11:07 <flocculant> so if that does happen - we can revisit milestones - and do our own when it suits us 11:08 <bluesabre> hm 11:08 <bluesabre> good to know 11:08 <flocculant> we can move on now - just wanted to bring that up :) 11:08 <bluesabre> thanks 11:08 <bluesabre> #subtopic 16.04 Package Testing 11:09 <flocculant> this will be coming back 11:09 <slickymasterWork> and dully needed 11:09 <flocculant> bluesabre and I will be setting this up for 16.04 - but it will be a bit more specific than it has in the past 11:09 <bluesabre> yup 11:10 <flocculant> #info Package Testing coming back for 16.04 11:10 <flocculant> there's a fair bit of work to do for that, but it's been started already 11:11 <flocculant> bluesabre: nothing more from me on that - yet :) 11:11 <bluesabre> :D 11:11 <flocculant> so your perspective please - mostly for those attending tonight :) 11:12 <bluesabre> #info Usability bug reports are fair game. These changes really make Xfce and Xubuntu easier to use for lots of people. If things don't seem quite right with an application, let us know. 11:12 * bluesabre will regret that 11:12 <flocculant> :p 11:13 <flocculant> and ppa's people - use those :) 11:13 <bluesabre> #info Since we're targeting bug fixes and not so much new features with the next cycle, we can likely expect rapid reviews and fixes.
