Hi there. We all have the November release coming up. Even though the different groups have different release cycles, it would be nice to do a coordinated release in November that shows off the work we've all been doing.
As part of that I want to make sure the toolchain outputs play well together with the outputs from other groups. At least we need a QEMU (toolchain), kernel, and test head (user platforms) that work well together. A GDB and kernel combination with interrupted syscall and hardware watchpoint support would be good as well. Benchmark numbers up in the dashboard too. Past that it would be nice to have a common 'Linaro' PPA where you can get the latest of everything, including cross compilers, QEMU, and similar on the host side, and also compilers, libraries, power management tools, and similar on the device side. I know we have the overlay PPA but it focuses on stability and is for the test head only. Even past that it would be nice to have easy to consume examples as well such as: * A demo showing a cross compiled OpenGL app, run on a device due to a good kernel, showing better numbers due to driver and compiler improvements, and profiled using valgrind and oprofile * A package with startup scripts, QEMU, kernel, and test head all ready to run * The same but with the latest versions of all packages from all groups already installed * The same but installed as part of a Ubuntu Maverick VMWare image to give a very low barrier to entry, and to let Windows users try things out I normally overdo these things so feel free to bring me back down to earth. I'm going to at least talk with Loic and Alexander about the QEMU/Kernel/Test head combo. -- Michael _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
