Re: Creating a new public git tree on git.linaro.org

by Dave Martin

FYI, I've set up a tree with my currently posted patches, with branches currently as follows: git://git.linaro.org/people/dmart/linux-2.6-arm.git Upstreamable branches: * master : base branch in sync with linus' tree * arm/* : topic branches for ARM architecture support stuff * arm-all : merge branch of arm/* (excluding arm/development/ branches) Changes appearing in the above branches has either been posted on upstream lists or is about to be posted. Development branches: * development/* : development versions of upstreamable branches. These are more volatile and may not have been discussed upstream. Dirty branches: * dirty/* : hacking branches which are considered unsuitable for upstream * dirty-all : merge of all interesting changes including dirty ones The dirty* branches are not ready for upstreaming: Don't pull these branches without good reason. Do we have a systematic place to document the contents of git trees? I put the above text in linux-2.6-arm.git/description, but gitweb only seems to show the first line. I'm a bit of a newbie to this, so any comments welcome regarding how I've set this up. Note: If you want to build a Thumb-2 kernel, you'll probably need dirty/gas-adr-bug, which contains a fix which is needed when building a Thumb-2 kernel due to a bug in gas. Cheers ---Dave

[RFC] Packaging for PowerDebug (a new tool)

by Amit Arora

As part of the Power Management Work Group, I have been developing a new tool called PowerDebug which can show users/developers information on regulators, senors and clock tree. Its time now to package it for Ubuntu (since, Linaro will pick up the package from Ubuntu repo.). We also plan to host a project in LaunchPad for this tool. I am new to Ubuntu and debian way of packaging. Still, have given a shot at packaging PowerDebug and have put it in my git tree hosted at : git://git.linaro.org/people/amitarora/powerdebug.git in the branch called "debian". The "master" branch has only the source code for the tool. If you have fare idea about .deb packaging, I will request you to please review these files and suggest any changes that may be required. I have also uploaded this under my ppa (ppa:amitarora/pm-utils). Thanks! Regards, Amit Arora

Launch Control PPAs (snapshots, releases)

by Zygmunt Krynicki

I'd like to announce that Launch Control (the project) is being packaged and separated into dedicated launchpad projects/code trees. I managed to set up two PPAs to make everyone's life easier: * linaro-infrastructure/launch-control * linaro-infrastructure/launch-control-snapshots The first one is designed to hold *releases*, currently it's empty as there are no new releases yet and old releases are not packaged. The second one (which I encourage you to use if you are interested in launch-control) contains daily builds of the following packages: * python-linaro-json * python-linaro-dashboard-bundle * launch-control-tool The list of packages will grow as I get the whole server decomposed and packaged. That's right, currently the "dashboard" is not available as a debian package just yet. Just as a quick reminder, if you want to add a PPA to your system from command line you can use add-apt-repository, like this $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-infrastructure/launch-control-snapshots $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install launch-control-tool Thanks Zygmunt Krynicki

Clutter/Unity Linaro 10.11 conclusions

by Alexandros Frantzis

Hi all, thanks to the restless efforts of the User Platforms team and friends, we have concluded our clutter/mutter/clutk/unity work for the previous cycle. Although we didn't get to the point of providing an ultra smooth user experience, this is still a great success and more than we hoped for at the beginning of the cycle. You can find all the related packages at ppa:asac/armel1. For those who are wondering, the fact that Unity will now move to compiz does not invalidate our efforts at all. Unity was just a means to an end, a way to recognize some of the ingredients that are needed to provide a smooth user experience on ARM (and GLES2.0 platforms in general). Some highlights from our efforts: * We clearly communicated our technical and distribution related needs to upstream clutter and contributed patches to support our goals. As a result, clutter is progressively becoming more friendly to distributions that need to ship multiple backends and perform runtime selection. * We standardized on and provided a proof-of-concept implementation for accelerated WM compositing using the EGL_KHR_image_pixmap and GL_OES_EGL_image extensions for EGL/GLES2.0. This is a critical feature for providing a smooth user experience on GLES2.0 based platforms. * We provided vendors with a real-world test case that can be used to exercise their drivers on. For the next cycle we are moving away from active development on clutter and mutter, but we will still keep an eye on them (esp. clutter). We may even be able do some more work on them if we have the resources and there is a high demand for it. Thanks, User Platforms team

kernel packaging howto

by John Rigby

Lee, I created a page on how to package a kernel. There are some hacks here that would not be appropriate when packaging a kernel for a real upload but should work fine for landing team testing. https://wiki.linaro.org/PackageYourOwnKernel John
