Hi,
Tomorrow Linaro will release the Alpha-1 images. In anticipation of this
the release candidate has been produced and is ready for testing. If you
have supported hardware and are willing to test please head on over to:
http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n
and select an image type. Please take the files from the alpha-1-rc
directory and combine them with a alpha-1-rc hardware pack from the
hwpack directory at the same location. Instructions on how to do this
can be found at:
http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/MilestoneBuilds
The QA tool, qatracker, has been setup ready for test results and can be
found at:
http://qatracker.linaro.org
and instructions on how to test are available on the wiki at:
http://wiki.linaro.org/QA/QATracker
Alpha-1 is a very early snapshot of Linaro's development progress for
the 11.04 release. It *will* contain bugs but with the help of our
testers, these bugs will be squished as the development cycle
progresses.
Regards,
Jamie.
