Right, I sent the info about initial hwpack content in a previous mail. > > James can help out with the mechanics of creating the hardware pack and > getting them built automatically.

The other heads are failing to build because we don't have hardware packs yet. Now that you say that we won't hook up hwpack-create there, i will make a new live-helper that allows runs without kernel etc. and then we should be able to get the alip/efl/plasma heads without hw support rather quickly. James, please ping me on IRC to get info how to test these with headless. -- - Alexander _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
