Trusty now officially open for development

[JMB74]

Just had by email.

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ub...er/037724.html

Trusty is now open for development, with syncs from unstable currently running.
The development version starts with a new port and with minor updates to the
toolchain and some transitions.

- GCC 4.8 was updated to the GCC 4.8.2 release and the GCC Linaro
4.8-2013-10 release. Binutils is built from the 2.24 release branch.

- An glibc update will follow later during this cycle.

- Perl was updated from v5.14 to to v5.18.

- Berkeley DB was updated from v5.1 to v5.3.

- boost was updated from v1.53 to v1.54.

Please check your uploads in a trusty chroot, don't just test in a saucy
environment. See [1] how to setup such a development chroot.

Trusty is the first development version that sees the AArch64 (arm64) port from
the start of the cycle. Buildd resources are still somewhat limited compared to
the other architectures, so please ask first on #ubuntu-devel before giving back
a build for this port (e.g. compiler complaining about an unreproducible ICE).

No breakage yet! But there have been a plethora of updates throughout the day, so breakage soon, no doubt...

[sammiev]

Yes, the updates are surely in.
Time to play.

Music to my ears!

But, wait. You said LTS?!?!?

They're usually a snooze.

Oh, well. We can always hope...

I have tried 2 different installs of the 64 bit daily iso and the first problem is that if I try to open software sources from software center, synaptic, or software-properties-gtk I get a crash. From terminal I get
trusty@trusty-HP-G72-Notebook-PC:~$ software-properties-gtkTraceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk", line 101, in <module>
app = SoftwarePropertiesGtk(datadir=options.data_dir, options=options, file=file)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 98, in __init__
SoftwareProperties.__init__(self, options=options, datadir=datadir)

(self.id, self.codename))
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Ubuntu/trusty

This means I can't change repositories, servers, and add ppas. I got a system problem, but can't get it to send a report. Even though my profile shows that I am a noob, actually I have been around since Dapper.
Thanks in advance for any help.

@lonniehenry, the solution to your problem is located in this post.

I'll be adding it to the Common Problems wiki page in the next day or two.

That is, among other more serious things just point I was making in several threads about just sed-ing sources.list is not a right and secure way of getting into U+1 wagon...
For those interested key words are: Debian way... You have to prepare that transition and (hopefully) wait for the toolchain... Yes, I was restless couple of times with this transition and I've learned my lesson... Nothing big but, it could make Your perception of transition quite different...
Funny to read that I (of all) am preaching for patience, even I myself can not believe...
It would be nice if complete solution for transition would be put on CPWikiPage...
