Hi all,
Due to an ongoing migration in the data centre any image builds that are
done from now until sometime tomorrow will not appear on
snapshots.linaro.org until tomorrow.
Reorganisation as part of the migration means that firewalls need to be
updated for the rsyncs to work, and that won't be done until sometime
tomorrow US time.
Everything should return to normal within 24 hours, and I will update
you if that changes.
Thanks,
James

Hello everyone.
With the help of Paul Larson we now have a Launch Control PPA.
Currently it does not have the most interesting package (dashboard) but
we're slowly getting there.
The ppa is at:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~linaro-infrastructure/+archive/launch-control
I have created a daily build of the first package: python-linaro-json.
This package contains the JSON utilities that I've developed for launch
control. As soon as the dust settles out and I'm comfortable with
packaging I'll release and upload a non-daily build. (Q: what is the
best way do to that with launchpad?)
Next in the queue for that PPA is a python package for working with
dashboard bundle files (extracted from the current dashboard code base).
I hope that those two packages can make it to natty eventually and help
the nice folks in Ubuntu QA to produce test results not as unstructured
text files but as bundle files. Hopefully this will allow them to store
those files as they currently do and later on decide to either push them
to a dashboard instance of their choice or convert them to launchpad
subunit format (yes! it's _should_ be possible to convert all data to
subunit) once that is ready for production.
Feedback welcome :-)
Best regards
ZK

John, are you using the 'enforce check' system from ubuntu kernels
that make sure that certain config options always have expected
values?
It might be worth adding these to our enforce system since we want all
our kernel flavours to enable these options.

All,
The "weekly" report for the Linaro Infrastructure team covers the past two weeks due to UDS last week, and the report may be found at:-
Status report: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Infrastructure/Status/2010-11-04
Burndown chart:http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/maverick/linaro-infrastr…
The Infrastructure related blueprints, of which currently there are 4 active ones (4 from the last report), are showing that there are 11 work items in progress (11 last report), and 12 work items to undertake (12 last report).
arm-m-validation-dashboard; 0 work items completed since last report; 2 in progress; 8 to do
arm-m-image-building-console; 0 work items completed since last report; 7 in progress; 3 to do
arm-m-automated-testing-framework; no change in status from last report; 1 in progress; 0 to do
arm-m-testsuites-and-profilers; no change in status from last report; 1 in progress; 1 to do
In arm-m-image-building-console, 6 items are awaiting review before they can be completed.
UDS preparations occupied the time leading up to UDS for all team members. Subsequent to UDS, the focus has been on preparing Blueprints for the next cycle.
Specifics accomplished this week include:-
* Preparing for, and holding the Infrastructure Stakeholder meeting
* Drafting Blueprints for the next cycle
* Got QEMU working with current images
Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.
Kind Regards,
