Hey
As a followup to IRC conversations around backports, releases and QA today, I'd like to hear what others think of our Linaro PPAs. I'll start with some history and proposals:
To my mind the important constraint is that there should be some relatively easy thing that we can say to someone 'and this is how you get a stable Linaro'; and by that I mean the whole thing - a set of tools that build and run everything else including a kernel and preferably debug it.
By 'easy' I mean relatively simple, but critically pretty difficult to do wrong or miss a step.
There should be a 'stable' version of the entire set - i.e. we're not asking someone else to pick a particular kernel/tools/etc - so that it's easy for people to know what they should get and it 'should just work'. And it should stay working up until at least the next release.
