Can you respin the SDK image and include a ready to run hello.c test for this month so we can do some sort of sane sign off on the images?
In ~2h we will have them started anyway.
Once you have that included, please send instructions where to find and how to run that here, so we can work that into the OE test plan.
Next builds will have /root/hello.c{c} files which can be compiled with gcc/g++ and run. So:
gcc hello.c -o hello ./hello g++ hello.cc -o hello ./hello
will be all needed. I added those tests to wiki.
LAMP images will have /info.php page available as well.
very cool. did u also add info how to validate the info.php?
please let soumya know about new tests so he can update the dashboard/spreadsheet.
Marcin: What type of changes did we pick up on the images since last month? I guess a newer kernel and toolchain? Anything else that we moved forward?
Kernel is the same. We use gcc-linaro 2012.11 now. We got some of our changes merged in OpenEmbedded but those do not affected images. So nearly no changes -- too many conferences in 2012.11 cycle.
Right. It's good if we haven't changed much as it means we can still ramp up a perfect changelog for this release. We don't want to let OE go loose by repeating the mistakes of our other images again and having a very minimal changeset for this month is a perfect opportunity to pipeclean the right process/best practices.
For next month I plan to use one frozen set of OE repositories to have even less changes. I will track their changes but update our builds only when needed.
So on top of the SDK test, can you please ship a howto/HOWTO_Changelog.txt file alongside the build that documents our changes done to the image for this 2012.11 release? Fathi knows the exact name requirements for that file...
Same for the basic instructions, please ship them in howto/HOWTO_INSTALL.txt etc.
You mean http://releases.linaro.org/12.11/openembedded/aarch64 page?
yes looks cool. i used models today and found that they usually ship native 64bit LSB binaries.
is that the case for foundation too? if so lets add a bp for next month to remember to include 64 instructions to install binary tab as well.
thx ... enjoy we
I am not release manager, but if we get the images with those changes by monday and they are already boot tested we can easily still land it imo.
