Hi All,
As per release notes, linaro_binutils-2_25-2015_01-2_release should be
present at http://git.linaro.org/toolchain/binutils-gdb.git.
But I am not able to see any "linaro_binutils" tags on
https://git.linaro.org/toolchain/binutils-gdb.git/tags.
Am I doing any mistake? or on git it is renamed to something else (same as
FSF binutils tags?).
Apology for asking such a trivial question.
Thanks for your time.

put through unit-testing and full validation is not performed.
Centralised benchmark source - TCWG-354 [6/10]
* Understood CoremarkPro run rules/behaviour better
* Experimented with shortening runs while still giving meaningful results
* Cleaned up build/run scaffolding
Port to microinstance - TCWG-432 [1/10]
* Got access to microinstance, learned a bit about SSL in the process
Backport benchmarking - TCWG-352 [2/10]
* Fixed 'build with sysroot' code for current deliverable shape
* Fixed a problem with multiple manifests
=Plan=
Review, test, debug build-triggers-benchmark job
Finish off Coremark Pro integration
Review security with shared uinstance/main instance code
Expose more data, benchmarks to bundles
Debug/test Jenkins job in microinstance
Create bootable image for at least 1 target, or know what the problems are
Write up noise control report (if time)
More support for SPEC-on-Android?

r1-a12: -0.04 %
cortex-a53: -0.09 %
cortex-a57: -0.14%
- int benchmarks completed running for reference revision on cortex-a15
- int benchmarks with-patch runnning on cortex-a15
* TCWG-310 benchmarking (1/10)
- r1-a12: 0.11%
- Benchmark jobs failed on a53, a57.
* Misc (2/10)
- Submitted patch to fix building 450.soplex
- Looked at how to write ipa pass, ipa-pure-const and ipa-cp.
- Meetings
== Next Week ==
- tcwg-319, tcwg-310 benchmarking
- tcwg-72
- LTO
== This week ==
* Bugzilla 68543 - [AArch64] Implement overflow arithmetic standard
names (7/10)
- Implemented signed and unsigned add, subtract, and multiply
overflow standard patterns
- Investigated testing of overflow patterns
* Misc (3/10)
- Conference calls
- Misc ARM Housekeeping
- Lost connectivity due to old ARM Unix VPN Client
== Next week ==
* TCWG-317 - Exploit wide add operations when appropriate for Aarch32

== Progress ==
* GCC (4/10)
- pr68620 (fp16 transfers in big-endian mode)
- checking regressions observed on trunk
- had to revert my cleanup patch for target
attributes tests, not sure how to handle all
possible combinations of options/defaults
* Validation (1/10)
- small improvements in reporting
* Misc (conf calls, meetings, emails, ...) (3/10)
* Internal training (2/10)
== Next ==
* Validation
* GCC: bug fixes/cleanup
* One day off on Wed. [2/10]
# Progress #
* Enable gdb core file tests when testing remotely, TCWG-171.
I've almost had the conclusion that corefile remote testing can't be
done due to limitations in dejagnu and nfs mount testing
infrastructure. Need to write them down. [2/10]
* Mutli-arch follow-up work, teach AArch64 GDBserver understand ARM
breakpoint instructions. TCWG-460. Done. [3/10]
* Review ARM GDBserver software single step patch V7. Almost OK, except
some small things. [2/10]
* Misc, meeting, email, [1/10]
# Plan #
* TCWG-424, Draft a fix for the fail in random-signal.exp.
* TCWG-156, GDB test parity between AArch64 and X86_64.
* One day off on Wed. or Fri.
Planned absence:
* Dec 24-Jan 3.
