Weekly meeting minutes: https://wiki.linaro.org/OfficeofCTO/2011-09-27
Highlights:
-- Connect: preparing the sessions for STB, Server and 1 session on IVI.
-- For 1109 several items did not reach enough results in order to
announce/highlight as part of the release highlights. The status report
above contains information on what was completed and what will be pushed
to 11.10
-- ARMHF:
+ completing the ARMHF benchmarks, fixing
+ there was a report posted in
http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/cross-distro/2011-September/000054.html highlighting
the major GNU/Linux distributors agreement on the technical
configuration of ARM “hard-float” ports to keep binaries compatibles
across distributions
+ Also Steve McIntyre is going to tend to the build farm of ARMHF (plus
set a backup in case some of the boards are not running - eg due to a
power failure), and push a toolchain patch to detect FP -- this is now
less of an issue as we're going to use separate pathnames for armhf
-- Boot architecture: plans are taking shape and Linaro will expand into
doing UEFI related work and join UEFI. Several meetings have already
taken place, there is a growing interest towards secure boot, and having
a position over that technology from ARM platform and Linux perspectives
-- ARM Server - Clobber setup is tested and documented
(https://wiki.linaro.org/OfficeofCTO/NetworkBoot), also fixing errors
and identifying problems related to that setup.
Please let me know if there are any questions
Best,

Hello All,
As part of greater Continuous Integration (CI) efforts at Linaro,
the Infrastructure Team is tasked to develop and maintain a jenkins based,
versatile service run in the cloud that will drive the build part of the
continuous integration loop for engineering components.
After an intense 11.09 cycle focused on developing a solution for doing
large scale kernel CI building and testing, we are pleased to announce that
the Linaro CI build service is now available for wider beta testing for L
inaro
engineering teams.
If you are interested in trying out this service or if you have a kernel
tree/defconfig that you would like to be continuously built on Linaro CI and
tested in Linaro's LAVA lab, please get in touch with me and the
infrastructure team, to discuss your steps to get started.
Expect more updates and information from the Linaro CI front as we proceed.
In the meantime visit the links below:
1. The Linaro CI Build service

2. Details and background on the CI build service and how to request a new
job
+ https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Infrastructure/LinaroCI
3. The list of the existing Kernel CI builds that are currently built and
tested on
daily basis can be found at
+ https://ci.linaro.org/jenkins/view/All%20CI/
4. Daily tracking your Kernel CI build results is explained here
+
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Infrastructure/LinaroCI#Monitoring_Build_F…
5. Daily tracking your Kernel CI runtime results is explained there
+
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Infrastructure/LinaroCI#Finding_Test_Resul…
6. Future development ideas for the service
+ https://launchpad.net/linaro-ci/+milestone/backlog
The 11.09 release is just a first step and more exciting and advanced
continuous integration
features are on their way. Linaro CI has already started showing results by
finding bugs during
our development/setup phase of Linaro CI build service.
Visit our backlog milestone [6] in launchpad to get an up to date overview
of ideas and
deliverables in our planning pipeline.
Here some samples of topics we discussed:
1. Extend the kernel CI effort by adopting further defconfigs and tracked
trees and
verification of the kernel builds on different kinds of boards in the
LAVA lab.
2. Develop and host a one stop place for kernel CI tracking on LAVA
dashboard,
where engineers can continuously monitor their components for build and
runtime failures.
3. Add support for adhoc kernel builds. This will allow kernel tree
maintainers to try out
pull requests and local developments in LAVA using a simple one time
submit feature.
4. Improve CI support for downstream kernel maintainers (e.g. ubuntu,
android).
The goal is to make continuous downstream merging and integration of
highly active
upstream repositories very easy and efficient.
The beginning of many milestones has just begin with a small step
and your feedback will be of immense value in achieving the future
milestones.

Hi Mattias,
FYI, a user is reporting an issue with l-a-m-c on
http://ask.linaro.org/questions/191/linaro-image-tools
I can't reproduce the problem, and I didn't find any bug in LP matching
the error message, but I guess your team should be able to help this guy.
Thanks,
Michael.

Michael and I were tasked with making the front page of the Linaro wiki
a little more developer focused and offloading some of the other
information to the main website, linaro.org.
We've put together a prototype page and would like to get some feedback
before making the real switch:
