Subject: Xserver 1.9 transition
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.6 required=0.8 tests=BAYES_00,RCVD_IN_DNSWL_LOW
autolearn=ham version=3.3.1
Summary for the impatient:
********************************************************************
A new X server is soon to be uploaded which requires all the
drivers to be rebuilt. Be careful when upgrading in the next few
days.
********************************************************************
As promised earlier in the cycle, we've got the second X server
transition coming up. This will take us to X server 1.9, which features
improvements to startup time, some memory usage improvements, and many
DRI2 fixes.
The 1.9 server has a new input and video ABI which means existing driver
packages will break.
The server needs to be uploaded first so the new drivers build against
the correct ABI, which means that there will be a period where safe
upgrades will have held-back packages. The dependencies should ensure
that you won't accidentally get a non-working combination of X server
and drivers, but be careful if an upgrade wants to remove X packages.
Happy testing!

Hi,
According to the schedule [1] the Linaro Feature Freeze will be in effect from 2010-08-12, i.e. Thursday. This signals our transition from adding new features to bug fixing and improving what is already there. Exceptions to this process will have to be approved by the release management team [2] using the Feature Freeze exception process [3]. After this date your new features are not guaranteed to be in the next release so please try to get your enhancements in as soon as possible. For an explanation of the Feature Freeze process please see the wiki [4].
Regards,
Jamie.

Morning all. Peter Maydell from ARM has just joined Toolchain WG and
will initially be working on QEMU. As part of that I'd like him to
make a QEMU/Kernel/Distribution combination that makes our lives
easier - something that replaces the limited memory, obsolete hardware
ARM versatile kernel that we use at the moment and that can be used
for a development, buildd, and debootstrap host. This cuts across all
of our groups as it needs kernel input, will be done by toolchain, and
hopefully consumed by user platforms.
A blueprint is available at:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/qemu-linaro/+spec/qemu-focused-kernel
Feedback would be appreciated,

(reported working on other architectures with minimal changes).
* A new software archive rebuild with GCC 4.4.4, CodeSourcery
enhancements and ARM-related improvements.
* Support for opengl ES development through MESA.
* GPS support via gypsy and geoclue.
* Netbook user interface capabilities with the latest EFL software
stack.

The complete weekly report for the Linaro Kernel Consolidation team
may be found at:
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/KernelConsolidation/Meetings/2010-08-…
Summary of the minutes:
Device tree support
- ARM specific patches in Grant's test tree - probably will be
included in the 2.6.38 kernel release
- Patches making good progress, just takes time
Richard discussed device trees at the TI OMAP open source meeting.
- Most maintainers were receptive and would like to see patches merged.
- Russell King had reservations. Concern was the lack of
standardization within the ARM community could cause messy
implementations.
Device tree support for OMAP. Jeremy could use some hardware to speed testing.
Arnd asked about QEMU support for the Versatile Express.
- Needs to be added to a specification for this platform and scheduled.
- Richard pointed out there there was a QEMU branch(qemu-maemo)
with OMAP support, but the necessary PCI support wasn't implemented.
- Device trees may help in situations like this.
Versatile Express device tree support is coming.
Arnd reviewing ST Ericsson, out of town next week
- Waiting for the BSP, but has hardware
Boot architecture WG
- Grant to kick-off this team after the kernel merge window
No alpha3 testing done within the group
Please let me know if you have any questions.

So I guess, native compilation is the only way out now, until this
problem is solved?
