Hi release team and archive admins!
For at least the past week, I and others have been pinging/highlighting
ubuntu-archive and ubuntu-release in #ubuntu-release on IRC trying to
get a response for help. Here are some examples:
* I am unable to do an ISO rebuild request from the ISO tracker (this
has never occurred before), I suspect an issue with cdimage, but
this needs release team attention.
* Kubuntu and Ubuntu Studio are still in the process of transitioning
to Plasma 6 for Oracular, and are blocked by packages needing
removal [1].
* Ubuntu Studio's oracular builds are failing due to a preinst script
error in the usbmuxd package and I cannot figure out why since they
are *not* failing in Kubuntu, so I have been requesting assistance.
* Ubuntu Studio has an ongoing SRU for users to be in the audio group
by default[2] with an adduser wrapper, targeted for 24.04.1 this
Thursday. While the SRU team is involved, this needs to be expedited
for the release.
* Many others have had requests for package removals, FFes, and other
requests have been done in #ubuntu-release and have gone completely
unanswered/unacknowledged, including an FFe by Rico Tzschichholz for
LibreOffice 24.8.x for oracular [3].
These are just examples that I know off the top of my head because they
affect my projects, but there have been plenty more. I understand you've
all been busy this cycle, and we've all heard radio silence on IRC for
more than a week. However, since many of these are time-sensitive asks,
I wanted to ask, perhaps on behalf of the rest of the community, if
there's a better way to request assistance than IRC these days? We all
very much need answers and acknowledgements on these issues.
Thanks in advance!
Erich
