Hi All,
As of this moment, all imagescalers are now running ubuntu 12.04 precise pangolin. This should close a number of bugzilla tickets, as well as remove the final blocker for timed media handler.
Many thanks to Tim and Faidon for patching/package building for this!
I'm very excited by this, but I'd like to not consider this "done" for another could of days. I've been combing through the error logs and nothing new seems to be popping up. That said, this is a very delicate bit of infrastructure, so there is a possibility, albeit a very slim one, that something will be off and we'll have to roll back to lucid until the issue is cleared up. I think this very unlikely, but I would like to note it in case things requiring packages in precise are deployed. I do, however, think that it's reasonable to consider the Rubicon crossed and fix any issues as they arise instead of rolling back.
And now onto the other apaches!

You know, I was just going to ask again about that ...

For some thumbnails I now get a 404. Not sure that if is related to the update or changes to the 404 handler? I.e. if you look at http://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JanGerber/commonstest all thumbnails currently return an error.
Files that previously had issues, i.e. http://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Citygroup_Center,_San_Francisco.ogv now look great.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41371 provides an overview of imagescaler/thumbnail bug reports (click on "Show dependency tree" to get a full list with bug summaries). There are some recent reports in Bugzilla that might be related to the Ubuntu upgrade and this should be the easiest way to find them.

Awesome! I guess a side effect is that librsvg (which is used to render the SVG files to PNG) has been upgraded from 2.26 to 2.36. That most probably solve a lot of our long lasting bugs related to SVG rendering.
Feel free to review the SVG bugs filled under bugzilla:

For completeness sake, last weekend I did a full review of almost all of our SVG tickets and also went trough the information on Commons to distill a few new bugreports for known issues that had not yet been filed in bugzilla.
About 4 major issues got solved due to the update, but there are still some 15 or so issues left, half with actual SVG, other half with SVG styling.
