As 8.04 is an LTS release we will be preparing regular updates including updated CD images. Packages targeted for the CDs first go into the hardy-proposed archive where they can be tested by users who have opted in.
During the run up to a regular release we get invaluable feedback from the huge number of people running the development release on a range of hardware. It would be a great help if just a fraction of that group would countinue to help with testing by running hardy-proposed.
To enable hardy-proposed simply tick the Proposed updates box on the Updates tab in Software Sources (System -> Administration -> Software Sources). You should also re-enable Apport so we can collect full crash reports (see instructions). And as always non-crasher bugs are best reported with the Help -> Report a problem menu item in the individual applications.
To register the fact that you are running hardy-proposed, just add a comment to one of these tracking bugs. This makeshift setup will give us an idea of how many people are running hardy-proposed (while we implement a more elegant tracking solution).
So please help us with the 8.04.1 release preparations by testing hardy-proposed and filing bugs!
