Looks reasonable. Would anyone in Ubuntu Studio care to comment?

[Toby Smithe (tsmithe)]

(Ah, that made me nostalgic: once upon a time, I myself was "from
Ubuntu Studio", though it has been a long time since I showed my
digital face there. Anyway, I obviously can no longer speak for them,
so I'll keep the reminiscing for elsewhere.)

Hi Toby, Stefano!

I built it on a precise pbuilder, and a few of our testers verified it's running ok, and looking at the changelog it seems to be a very pleasing update. From Studio POV, go for it. Thanks!

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

In that case, you have an FFe, go for it after Beta 2 and before final freeze. Unless ubuntustudio devs want it during the beta freeze.

[Toby Smithe (tsmithe)]

Stefano, could you clarify the process for me, then?

Having done this a couple of times, and having read the documentation,
I was under the impression that the FeatureFreeze applied only to new
features (ie, new packages/APIs/substantial new introductions to old
code), and that bug-fix releases were exempt (or not covered). I read
also about the BetaFreeze and UserInterfaceFreeze, and it seemed in
those cases that only main and restricted were covered. I can
understand why those freezes might want to be tightened, if only
informally, and especially for an LTS, but I'm concerned that the
documentation isn't very clear.

In any case, I'm not in any hurry to get this update into precise, as
long as it does get into precise, though, considering how many bugs
have been fixed by it, I would say that there would be no harm in
having it in the next beta.

Cheers,

Feature freeze applies to new features indeed, but we are considering some of the changes in this release to be large enough to be considered "feature" rather than "bug fix". It can be a bit subjective sometimes, but it's best especially for packages which are on images (such as this) to be conservative. From http://musescore.org/en/developers-handbook/release-notes/release-notes-musescore-1.2 we can see that there are changes to MuseJazz, new drumset files and new templates.

I asked astraljava to comment on whether ubuntustudio want it in for the beta, so we can decide when to sync (since this package is on an image we have to consider when the sync should happen)

[Janne Jokitalo (astraljava)]

I am perfectly happy to wait until beta-2 has been released, and then sync before the final freeze. No need to add more fuss to the beta-2 testing.

[Toby Smithe (tsmithe)]

All sounds good to me: thanks for the clarification. In these cases
where it is unclear, it's nice to hear the thought processes behind
such decisions. Being these days a relative outsider to the process as
I am (eg, I don't have time enough to hang out on IRC much any more),
it's nice to know what's going on and where one stands in relation to
it all.
