Hi,
the toolchain releases for 2012.04 are ready (unless we find major
bugs quickly, which should be fairly unlikely):
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/toolchain-4.7-2012.…https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/toolchain-4.6-2012.…
The 4.7 toolchain will be the default for this month.
We have "it compiles, therefore it works"(R) builds w/ 4.7 done for
all boards (Snowball requires a patch I've submitted to the bug
tracker yesterday, the other boards should be fine already), and many
are actually boot-tested.
I'll update the release builds on android-build to the
4.7-2012.04/#build=4 toolchain, leaving Snowball on 4.6 until the
patch is committed.

Hi John
When using the linaro-android-3.4 branch the mouse buttons don't seem to
work. I've tracked the problem down to something you fixed in
linaro-android-3.4-jstultz-rebase, namely:
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/jstultz/android.git;a=commit;h=2d571b…
Can you add this to linaro-android-3.4 and any other fixes you did that might be missing?
Cheers

Hi,
the toolchain WG is officially releasing a 4.7 based compiler this
month - and I'd like it to become the default, let's stay ahead of the
line.
We know the userland is fine since we have working iMX6 and Panda
builds done with 4.7.
I've created gcc47 builds for every board (simply replace gcc46 with
gcc47 in the name).
The following builds failed in the initial run:
~linaro-android/imx53-ics-gcc47-freescalelt-stable-open
~linaro-android/snowball-ics-gcc47-igloo-tracking-blob
~linaro-android/vexpress-ics-gcc47-armlt-stable-open
~linaro-android/panda-ics-gcc47-kwg-upstream-open
~linaro-android/panda-ics-gcc47-omapzoom-stable-blob
~linaro-android/panda-ics-gcc47-tilt-stable-blob
~linaro-android/origen-ics-gcc47-samsunglt-tracking-blob
Most of the failures look like random linaro-build breakage
("hudson.util.IOException2: remote file operation failed:
/mnt/jenkins/workspace/linaro-android_imx53-ics-gcc47-freescalelt-stable-open
at hudson.remoting.Channel@1150f8c:i-2468d843"), so we're actually
better than it looks. ;)
I'm restarting the failed builds - hopefully we'll have some more
working builds in the evening and useful error messages for the ones
that keep failing (there were a couple of initial failures (fixed by
now) in the iMX6 and Origen kernels - expecting to see some more of
those, but they should be easily fixable.

During ELC a few people asked me if Linaro had something bigger than
nano and smaller than Ubuntu that they could use to build stuff. Of
course I said Android, but a lot of people actually want a regular
Linux platform where they can easily recompile what they need to hack
on, add their own libs and scripts and generally work in an "embedded,
cross build way." I know there's OpenEmbedded and I've heard of
something called "livebuild." Does anyone have anymore info? This
class of users is arguably the largest class of people using these
boards so creating something targeted at them would allow them to get
all the benefits of Linaro in a easy to use fashion.
