So we want to put our first snapshot out as soon as possible, labelled as a 'developer preview' or 'beta', to encourage people to start using it on ARM platforms and to report bugs. We can then work with upstream to hopefully get these bugs fixed by the time the valgrind 3.6.0 release occurs. After that we will probably be able to drop the Linaro-specific package and fold things back into Ubuntu. So my feeling is that this won't necessarily be a regular "once per release cycle" sort of activity.
Yeah, I agree.
- During our testing, if we find bugs or regressions, what shall we do?
As I've encountered bugs while doing pre-snapshot testing I've been reporting them upstream to Julian who has fixed them all very quickly. (The bugs are generally of the "instruction not yet implemented" form.)
