Re: Changing QA images to pre-built ones

Hey,

Lately we've been producing and using the pre-built images for most of the use cases we have at Linaro. Seems that now that we finally got it working the way we expected, it'd also make sense to move the Ubuntu QA to start using the pre-built images instead of a combination of hwpack + rootfs.

A few advantages about using pre-built images:

• Single ID for the hwpack + rootfs combination
• Less time to download, if you use zsync with a previous image as base
• A lot faster to flash, as it'll use the maximum from your SD card

into one single shot (dd)

We're producing them daily nowadays, so I think we should just go and change the process. You can find all the pre-built images at http://snapshots.linaro.org/precise/pre-built/

Fathi, Paul, would that work for you both?

That's the plan. +1

Thanks!
