=== ARM Status ===
Kernel development: usual CVE fixes across different branches.
Oneiric/ti-omap4: we reached an agreement with agreen/linaro to get the TI BSP on top of a vanilla kernel, as a result a new oneiric/master-next-based kernel is in the work - see git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ppisati/ubuntu-oneiric.git ti-omap4-next. Still a
WIP, kernel panics on boot ATM, do not use.

=== Release Metrics and Incoming Regressions ===
=== Release Metrics ===
==== oneiric nominated bugs ====
* 30 linux kernel bugs (up 10)
==== Ubuntu oneiric-alpha-2 bugs ====

* 3 linux kernel bugs (no change 0)
==== lucid-updates bugs ====
* 8 linux kernel bugs (no change 0)
==== hardy-updates bugs ====
* 0 linux kernel bugs (no change 0)
=== Incoming Bugs ===
* 33 oneiric bugs (up 5)
* 1367 natty bugs (up 21)
* 1119 maverick bugs (up 3)
* 1036 lucid bugs (up 4)
* 39 hardy bugs (up 1)

=== BluePrint: other-kernel-o-ubuntu-delta-review ===
The remaining work items here are all tasks to review and upstream patches; apw, lag, manjo, rsalveti, and tgardner please review your item and push it out to oneiric-alpha-3 if you are not going to complete it this week.

=== BluePrint: other-kernel-o-version-and-flavours ===
Nothing outstanding for oneiric-alpha-2.

=== BluePrint: other-kernel-o-server-requirements ===
* Xen items done
* seccomp in progress

=== Status: Development Kernel Team ===
Overall we are progressing well, the kernel is stabalising nicely and regressions and bugs seem tractable at this time. We have a number of outstanding tasks for oneiric-alpha-2 which likely will slip further, most are upstreaming tasks and as such not
release critical.

=== Development kernels - Oneiric ===
The oneiric kernel is currently at 3.0-3.4 which is based on 3.0-rc5 from mainline. As well as the mainline kernel update this kernel also dropped the ARM versatile flavour which is deprecated.
< >
< >
We are in milestone freeze for oneiric-alpha-2 which releases this upcoming thursday. We expect to upload an upstream 3.0-rc6 kernel as soon as the freeze lifts.

=== Status: Stable Kernel Team ===
The commits responsible for the known regressions in Lucid and Natty were identified, their kernel packages are not being held anymore. Everything is progressing in the SRU workflow process.
< >
< >
Status now is:
* Hardy: kernel in -proposed is in verification. One bug remaining to be verified.
* Lucid: Currently in verification. In the end of verification phase it should progress to qa/regression testing and for security-signoff.
* Maverick: Currently in verification. No regressions so far. Two bugs remaining to be verified.
* Natty: Passed verification, security-signoff done. Waiting for regression-testing to start, and going through certification testing.
* Current SRU status is here:
