Wk 35 weekly meeting minutes:
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Middleware/Graphics/Notes/2011-08-31
Highlights:
- Many on vacation or national holiday for part of last week - less
action ongoing
- LP: started working with the backlog milestone on the LP Graphics
projects. Transition ongoing to move the backlog as blueprints under the
backlog milestone of each project
- Main highlight - retrospective with regards to Unity/NUX/Compiz
support in LEBs. In summary the decisions taken were
++ Start a regular communication with the maintainers of these three
components + Ubuntu team to gauge what is coming as well as to ask how
to best get our components code upstream. Due to Oneiric there is not
much upstreaming happening on the Ubuntu side. The calls already started
(weekly calls)
++ For GWG this means we also shift our focus to the Oneiric
development builds, whilst tackling on case by case any issues with the
natty-based LEBs
Please see the status report for more details
Thanks,

While updating my natty install on my beagle board xm, I ran into the following
Preparing to replace libjpeg-turbo62 1.1.90-1inaro6 (using
.../libjpeg-turbo62_1.1.90-1inaro6_armel.deb) ...
DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is not a supported variable name at
/usr/bin/dpkg-architecture line 214.
dpkg: error processing

DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is not a supported variable name at
/usr/bin/dpkg-architecture line 214.
dpkg: error while cleaning up:

This doesn't make much sense as
dpkg-query -l multiarch-support

ii multiarch-support 2.13-0ubuntu13 Transitional package to
ensure multiarch compatibility
Least I thought that's all you needed to have installed for multiarch
support, judging by what I see in
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks!

I've been asked to look into this some more. I will post what I learn.

Hello,
We're elaborating our Linaro Gerrit (2.2.1) set up, and would like to
enforce separation between upstream and "our" branches, to disallow
stray commits to upstream branches and keep them pullable from AOSP.
So, we'd like to limit review requests, pushes, etc. to
"refs/heads/for/linaro*" and "refs/heads/linaro*".
Trying to enter exactly that into refs entries for All Project's ACL
lead to "Invalid Name" error. After looking at Gerrit's source, it
turns out that Gerrit expects *-using pattern to end with "/*". Well,
why? Yes, it's nice idea to use hierarchical-like branch names.
Sometimes. But there're also good reasons to restrict branch name to
generic "identifier". For example, to keep one-to-one mapping with
filenames (confined to some dirs), or database names (both useful for
CI for example). So, requiring slash present before "*" seems like
arbitrary restrictions.
Anyway, I wasn't too upset, knowing that arbitrary patterns can be
encoded using regexps, and that's where real surprises start. First of
all, looking at example regexps at
http://gerrit.googlecode.com/svn/documentation/2.2.1/access-control.html#_p…
there were suspiciously stray backslashes in pattern examples. Anyway,
I tried to input "^refs/heads/linaro.*", it was rejected with "Invalid
Name" error. Same for "^refs/heads/linaro.*". Then I just tried example
from the doc, both as is and with slashes stripped -
"\^refs/heads/[a-z]\{1,8\}" & "^refs/heads/[a-z]{1,8}". Same error.
Looking at the source, validation for regexp case is complicated (and
nothing points to backslashes being required): it seems to generate a
subject string which would match entered pattern, and test that simple
for being good refs syntax. Well, I thought, maybe UI validation
outslies itself, and commit changes directly to project.config of
refs/meta/config branch of All-Project. No avail. With config like:
[access "^refs/for/refs/linaro.*"]
push = group Registered Users
it's not possible to submit review against any branch at all.
Thinking here would be that may be regexp library is not available, or
regexp syntax is not enabled by some option, but just searching reviews
with queries like below works just ok:
"project:^platform/buil. status:open"
"project:^platform/buil.* status:open"
"project:^platform/buil.+ status:open"
So, I'm stumbled here - what could be wrong, and where to look next?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi all,
I'm currently trying to get GCC to auto-detect what CPU to optimize for
by finding out what CPU it's actually running on (the user would only
have to pass -mcpu=native). It does this simply by reading /proc/cpuinfo.
The problem is finding what magic numbers correspond to what CPU. I've
found the numbers for A8 and A9 empirically, but I'd like a longer list
than that!
Does anybody have a list of such numbers?
Or else, perhaps people could just post any number they happen to know?
I do have a few devices other than A8 and A9 lying around I can look at,
but the problem there is I don't actually know for certain what exact
CPU model those numbers map to, so confirmed numbers only please.
Thanks
Andrew
Is a method via the aux vectors to know at runtime if neon is or is
not present?
Thanks!
