- Back from holiday, short week.

== Porting jam == * We seem to have picked up a lot of ftbfs in the last couple of weeks - which is unfortunate because it may well be too close to the Natty release to do anything about them

* Bug 745843 is a repeatable segfault in part of the build process of a package called vtk that is used by a few other things ; I've got this down to a particular call of one function - although gdb is getting rather confused (r0 & r1 changing as I single step across a branch)

* Bug 745861 petsc build failure; I'm getting one of two different link errors depending which mood it is in - mpi related?

* Bug 745873 - a meta package that just didn't have a list of packages to build with for armel; easy to do a simple fix (provided branch that built) for but the maintainer says it's too late for natty anyway and some more thought is needed.

== Other == * Reading over some optimisation documents

* Tested weekly release on Beagle-c4 (still no OTG usb and hence no networking for me)

* Also simple boot test on panda; not much time for more thorough test. (seems to work)
