http://status.linaro.org/11.11/roadmap.html (will be blank until we have
access to the data)

files:
https://code.launchpad.net/~mabac/linaro-image-tools/make-boot-files-v2/+me…
* More offspring planning and blueprints.
* Linaro talk at Oxford Geek Night 23 went really well.
* Script created to store our shared web credentials in an encrypted file
that can be decrypted by anybody in the team

* Changes submitted to django-group-access so that we can use it in
Offspring for private hwpacks
* Work items added to the all-ci-jobs-to-bzr blueprint
* lci-build-tools have been modified to include git_branch_name in build
status and kernel config name in the test run status

== Risks / Issues ==
* need to get offspring changes reviewed upstream, getting changes
incorporated is difficult.
* mabac is waiting for API access to the roadmap data in KanbanTool.
* There are some known issues with Snowball V2/V3 so there's an opportunity
to exchange boards and get a V5 replacement via Calao.

even longer for every day that passes.
== Miscellaneous ==

collection of tools to work with Linaro images
This package offers a set of tools for use with Linaro images.
.
The provided linaro-media-create command allows writing Linaro images
to a SD card, or generating an image file which you can boot in QEMU.
(new) linaro-image-tools_2011.08.orig.tar.gz optional devel
(new) python-linaro-image-tools_2011.08-1_all.deb optional python
Python library for the manipulation of Linaro bootable media
Linaro images are generated by combining generic tarballs with
hardware-specific packs (hwpacks).
.
This package provides a Python library to generate Linaro images and write
them to SD cards or image files that you can be boot in QEMU.
.
It also provides a Python library to aid with the creation of hardware
packs.
Changes: linaro-image-tools (2011.08-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Initial upload to Debian. (Closes: #641951)
* Add patches:
- use_python_2.7.patch
on Debian, current python default version is 2.6 and pyparted version is
3.6. PyParted 3.6 is not compatible with python versions prior to 2.7.
To work-around, we force to use python2.7.
- increase_sleep_after_sfdisk.patche
race condition, we create the partitions using sfdisk but before udisks
get notified about them we query udisks for information about them, which
fails. To work-around, we increase the sleep to 5s.
* Switch to dh_python2.
* Bump X-Python-Version to 2.7 (required by python-parted >= 3.6).
* Bump python-parted dependency to >= 3.6.

Hi Linaro people,
I am using the latest nano filesystem and hwpack from the Linaro download page for Panda.
I am looking for the vmlinux image for kernel debug. I understood from a recent conversation in ARM that this is/will be generated for Linaro releases, but maybe this is not yet the case? It seems so essential for kernel debug and profiling ?
This is the debian package from the HWPACK:
linux-image-3.0.0-1402-linaro-lt-omap_3.0.0-1402.4~ppa~natty_armel.deb
Any help would be much appreciated.
Fred
