Weekly meeting minutes from wk 32:
https://wiki.linaro.org/OfficeofCTO/2011-08-09
Highlights:
- On Boot Architecture: the Connect meeting was quite useful (see
minutes taken here
https://wiki.linaro.org/OfficeofCTO/BootArchitecture/2011-08-05) helping
to gauge the focus for the next 6 months.
- On ArmHF: there is currently work undergoing to meet the 1108 work
targets (more details for those in
http://status.linaro.org/11.11/group/tr-octo-armhf.html)
- OCTO team members are now looking for the future items - Preliminary
ideas were collected during the weekly meeting see minutes at the top.
Other items to note:
- David Rusling and Grant Likely are attending the LinuxCon North
America during 17-19 Aug 2011

[originally sent from wrong email, so not sure if got thru]
Hello,
Linaro Android codebase migration to Gerrit, which was announced at
Linaro Connect, happened today. From now, Linaro Android is available
via:
http://android.git.linaro.org/
Accompanied by Gerrit frontend at:
http://review.android.git.linaro.org/
It is recommended to perform a fresh checkout of the tree. To do that,
run:
repo init -u git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifest.git \
-b <branch> \
-m <manifest>
<branch> and <manifest> are those you used before. E.g.
repo init -u git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifest.git \
-b linaro_android_2.3.4 \
-m default.xml
The official Linaro builds at https://android-build.linaro.org/ were
converted to use new manifest location, and I'd like to ask other
developers to convert their personal builds (I'm not trying to
automate this so far, to make that everyone was in loop on what
changed and how). To update, just change in a build config:
MANIFEST_REPO=git://git.linaro.org/android/platform/manifest.git
to
MANIFEST_REPO=git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifest.git
Old tree (git.linaro.org/android/*) was made inaccessible for the time
being to help with updating all references to it. It should be back up
shortly in read-only mode. (If there're immediate concerns, it's at
git.linaro.org/android-old/ now and can be renamed back by anyone with
git.linaro.org access).
With the spirit of making one change at time, all developers still
should have permissions similar to what they had before: anyone can
still create branches and push changes directly to them (*1). However,
once we finish updating build configs and docs for new tree location,
the next step will be setting up a workflow based on mandatory code
review, so I'd like to invite all developers to practice that right
away. Details on how to submit change for review are given at
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/Gerrit (in particular, repo
upload works now).
(*1) The remote for such commits is different now of course, like this:
ssh://pfalcon@android.git.linaro.org:29418/platform/build . Replace
"pfalcon" with you gerrit username and platform/build is the component
you need.
Please share any issues, concerns, and questions you may have related
to this migration.

Yes.
created the master card using `linaro-media-create`
booted it once and added some secret sauce to it.
duplicated that card to 20 cards using `sfdisk` and `partimage`.
(Half of those cards did not boot)
used `gparted` to create a new partition table on one of the failed cards
(the new second master)
used `rsync` to copy the contents of the first master to a second master
reran the duplication process
repeated the step above for the remaining failed cards
ended up with 3 master cards with the exact same filesystem contents and
very nearly identical partition tables,
but different disk geometries (head, cyl, sector).
