Hello,
We upgraded from Gerrit 2.8 to 2.10 in the beginning of September, and
it went pretty smooth and let us overcome few annoying issues and enjoy
few new features and better integration with other apps.
Unfortunately, 3 months later, 2.10 also feels old, with 2.12 having
been released in the interim. With various Linaro groups continuing to
leverage advanced Gerrit features and integrations with other apps
(Jenkins, Bugzilla), Systems team faces various bugs and issues. None
of these issues are too grave, but they're quite convoluted and take
much time to be researched and understood. And then we find out that
it's a known issue in 2.10, which was fixed in later versions.
Jenkins' Gerrit integration already requires 2.12 for full
functionality and warns about our version being too old and some
features not supported. Which in turns brings concerns that every
time it doesn't work as expected, it may be because Gerrit plugin is
no longer tested with 2.10 and hits some issue pertaining to it.
With that in mind, Systems team would like to start planning for
next Gerrit upgrade, and move straight to the latest, 2.12.
To remind, the reason we didn't upgrade to 2.11 last time, was because
2.10 was the last version which included old-style change review
screen, and we wanted to provide smoother transition and let people to
try the new screen at their own pace. So, if you still use the old
design, please go to https://review.linaro.org/#/settings/preferences ,
and in "Change View:" dropdown, select "New Screen", and give it a
chance with the help of this doc:
https://review.linaro.org/Documentation/user-review-ui.html
And if you have any concerns regarding the upgrade, please speak up now.
Otherwise, we can do it in one of the following timeframes:
1. Upgrade in January.
2. Upgrade a bit later, but still before the Connect.
3. Discuss and plan upgrade at the Connect.
Systems team votes for the choice 1, upgrade next month (apparently, by
the end of), as that will allows us to deliver smoother Gerrit
experience to other teams, instead of firefighting older version issues.
Thanks,
Paul

I am referring to the thread:
https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-dev/2012-September/013311.html
I am facing the exact issue and i want to check where it is hanging.
Am not sure if it is hanging at the xloader or not.
Do i need to build Linux, X-Loader and u-boot with debug symbols for
me to debug using lauterbach.
Can you list out the steps i need to follow to make sure i can debug
this. Also, Will the debugger reset the processor when i try to
connect when reboot fails.
Thanks for your assistance.
thanks,

Hello,
I use Zedboard with ARM core running Linaro for my experiments. For a
specific experiment, I need to use the perf command. I followed the page:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/Tools/Perf
and used the command *sudo apt-get install linux-linaro-12.11-tools* but I
am getting*:*
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-linaro-12.11-tools
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-linaro-12.11-tools'
The commands lsb_release -a and uname -a gives:
$lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Linaro
Description: Linaro 12.11
Release: 12.11

Is there something that I would be missing?
Thank you,

Please let us know if you are using OpenID authentication with LAVA.
Newer versions of django will make it impossible to support
django-openid-auth in Debian unstable and testing. The version of
django-openid-auth in Jessie can continue to be used, so we would like
to know how many users want to continue with this support.
OpenID as a protocol has been dying for some time and Linaro has moved
over to LDAP, which is fine if LDAP is already available.
The time pressure for this change is coming from the schedule to get
the latest django and the latest lava packages into Ubuntu Xenial
16.04LTS which means that support needs to be implemented in the
2015.12 or 2016.1 LAVA releases. This is why this is quickly following
the trusty change. We have been aware of the issues with
django-openid-auth for some time, it was only when we had completed
the move of the Cambridge lab to LDAP that changes involving
django-openid-auth could be considered.
If you are using OpenID authentication (e.g. using Launchpad or Google
OpenID), please let us know.
If you would like to see some other forms of authentication supported,
also let us know. We can investigate Python Social Auth
(http://psa.matiasaguirre.net/), if there is interest.
If we don't hear from users who want django-openid-auth support for
use on Debian Jessie, we will drop django-openid-auth support from all
lava builds. This will leave LDAP and local Django accounts in
2015.12.
If anyone has experience of other django authentication modules, also
let us know.
