which was also sent to these lists (except linaro-dev).
So far, nobody has come forward as a Trusty user. The only Trusty
instance of which we are aware is already due to migrate to Debian
Jessie.
The LAVA software team are now applying updates which will freeze LAVA
software support for Ubuntu Trusty at 2015.9 for lava-dispatcher and
2015.9.post1 for lava-server due to the complexities of supporting
both django1.6 and the current django1.7 in Jessie and django1.8,
possibly django1.9 by the time Debian Stretch is released.
The last packages for Ubuntu Trusty 14.04LTS will be:
lava-server 2015.9.post1
lava-dispatcher 2015.9
Once these changes are applied, the Debian packaging used to build
future versions of LAVA packages will prevent builds against django1.6
and prevent installation if django1.6 is found, in order to prevent
database corruption.
This means that Trusty users will not be able to use the results of
the dispatcher refactoring.
Ubuntu Xenial Xerus - which is planned to be the 16.04LTS in April
2016 - is expected to pick up LAVA software releases from Debian up
until the 2016.1 release (possibly 2016.2) and is also expected to be
using django1.8. The next Debian stable release (Stretch), for which
no date has yet been set, may use django1.9.
Initial attempts at migrating a test instance from Trusty to django1.7
did not go well and the migration from Trusty to Xenial cannot be
supported by the LAVA software team - the recommendation is to go
directly from 2015.9 on Trusty to the same version available for
Debian Jessie but there will still be work to be done to prepare and
implement the migration which will be instance-dependent.
Documentation is being added to assist with this migration but there
will remain risks of data loss which will need to be managed for each
instance. It is imperative that anyone using Trusty has an up to date
backup of the postgresql database dump before considering any
migration. If the existing data is to be dropped, a new install on
Debian Jessie is recommended.
It is not possible for the LAVA software team to support all versions
of django from 1.6 to 1.9 - particular problems are known when going
from django1.6 to django1.7 as the methods to migrate the lava-server
database changed fundamentally in django1.7.
Notes are being added to the documentation on the trusty branch based
on 2015.9 to be released within lava-server 2015.9.post1 and to the
documentation in the master branch (which will go into 2015.12).
All future builds of LAVA software will now be made and uploaded only
to Debian and releases.linaro.org.
So far, nobody has come forward who is willing to maintain packaging
for LAVA software on any distribution other than Debian. As the
refactoring proceeds, we expect that it will become easier to package
LAVA for other distributions but the migration to the refactoring must
be complete first.
Everyone interested in or using LAVA is encouraged to subscribe to the
lava-announce mailing list which is low volume and only used for
substantial changes like this.

Does anyone have instructions on modding the chromebook 2 Peach Pi such
that it is not necessary to hit ctrl-U when booting custom kernels? I
found some instructions (which may be incomplete) for the SS Chromebook
"snow" suggesting it may be possible.
thanks,

Hi
Please excuse me if this is not appropriate list to post this question.
I just got arm64 snapdragon 810 development board(msm8994) and am trying to
see if there is a u-boot port available on this platform yet.
Thanks

With the explanation from Ard, I understand the thing now. But thanks
for the reply anyway.

Hello.
I am working on omap4 custom board with the kitkat android. what i see is
the reboot command is very inconsistent. 7 out of 10 times it does not
work. We see that the pulse
to the PMIC during reboot is going. however, it does not reboot.
Not sure if it is hanging at the xloader level or at the kernel level.
Tried the xloader patch which is for 4430. however, seeing the same issue.
Has anyone seen this issue?
Thanks for your help and assistance.
