Groovy Gorilla (to be 20.10) Feature Freeze
As per the release schedule, Groovy Gorilla is now in Feature Freeze.
Ideally, you will all now be focusing on bug fixing and not on getting new features into the release. However, if necessary, please follow the processfor freeze exceptions:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess
As is the custom, packages that have been uploaded to groovy-proposed prior to the feature freeze deadline, but have gotten stuck there, remain candidates for fixing between now and release.
Remember that version strings don't matter for Feature Freeze. If you upload a new upstream release and it has no new features than you don't needan exception. If you add a debian/patch that adds a new feature, or enable one via build flags then you do. We care about the content of the archive, not about precisely how things got there.
Happy bugfixing,
