Changes in the last week ======================== The past week has been turbulent. It seemed we were on track early last week, then we found some problems. The -rc3 build suffered some build failures, particularly a sysroot issue with perf. There were also some BSP issues with beaglebone as well as some QA challenges.
Were able to pull together all the needed fixes quickly and in the end we built out an -rc4 early, dropping -rc3 since there were too many known issues. We have now branched although I've not started merging 1.7 patches as yet and hope to hold off for a short while yet. The biggest problem right now is that beagebone doesn't boot depending on the directory depth the kernel is built within. We don't understand why. I had some issues with email this week. We think of it as instantaneous but a load of mine disappeared onto the secondary MX and I didn't get it until after -rc4 was built. This is why some patches didn't get dealt with so my apologies for that, the timing was particularly unfortunate. I don't believe we have a reason to stop 1.6 at this point, particularly if we can document the beaglebone issue. The -rc4 QA report is due soon and will drive the release decisions. I've not had much time to spend on 1.7 planning at this point but I'm hoping to get to that next.
