Comment 5 for bug 343954

Okay, here are the Feature Freeze Exception details for the jaunty package.

- A description of the proposed changes, with sufficient detail to estimate their potential impact on the distribution

 The description of the changes are in the ticket description. The potential impact isn't too high because most of the changes are either bug fixes or unrelated new features, and they're all thoroughly unit tested.

 34 files changed, 1608 insertions(+), 412 deletions(-)

only 497 of these changes are to non-test files: the other 1200 or so are all test changes.

- A rationale for the exception, explaining the benefit of the change

It would be very helpful for this release to go into Jaunty so that Jaunty users of Landscape will be able to get the new features like EC2 support and non-root mode.

An explanation of the testing which has been performed on the new version in Ubuntu, including verification that the new package:
 - builds
 - installs and upgrades,
 - does not break packages which depend on it, or that corresponding updates have been prepared.

I've done testing on a Jaunty KVM that it builds and upgrades from the previous package, and once installed that it works. No packages depend on landscape-client.
