[Ubuntu-phone] SEGFAULT in silos - Was Re: Landing team 09.06.15

There is a critical issue in Wily which is blocking landings for some projects, as builds fail in silos due to a SEGFAULT when attempting to run binaries which use gnutls (if you use any network stacks with SSL, this likely means you). The issue is now reported in a bug[1463875] as well.

What is your app? GPS itself remains active, as it is a system service, but when the screen is locked your app will be paused, so it will not be able to receive or perform any updates. On Sun, 2015-04-19 at 16:53 +0200, rpsoft wrote: Hi, I took again some tests with my app these days.

I think the question was about MTP file transfter, as when enabling the USB hotspot, MTP is disabled; and not about writable root partition. The way to have file transfer without USB would be OBEX, but it's not supported yet (should be soon though, as I understand). :) On Fri, 2015-03-27 at
