= Jamie Bennett (JamieBennett) = == This week == * Continued on with the Casper investigations. Talked with interested parties to identify the area's of interest. Possible low hanging fruit is disable_guest_account which could be sped up by about 6.5 seconds. * Tracked down the major cause of slowness for Casper, that of debconf-communicate. Straced, timestamped and looked at this with the conclusion that loading the templates.dat file takes around 4 seconds for every debconf-communicate call. Massive win to get this sped up so identified ways of tackling it. Needs implementing. * Documented possible fixes for Casper slowness here. * Worked on, along with help from the community, pushing build dependencies for netbook-launcher-efl. * Little work on the REVU version of netbook-launcher-efl to whip it into shape after the excellent work of mterry. * Pushed to get Canola packaged. * Now packaged at http://edge.launchpad.net/~canola * Initial test of Canola proved that it needs some work before it can be the default media player for Ubuntu ARM. Some bugs submitted. * Monthly team report done which can be viewed here. * Image testing, internal stuff, tending to sick kids, all good fun.
== Future == * Come up with a working implementation to fix the debconf-communicate issues. * Gather monthly information and publish monthly team report. * Keep pushing and monitoring netbook-launcher-efl dependencies. * If I get time take a look at the Moblin media player. * Vacation Tuesday till new year (although I'm sure I'll have some cheeky post-turkey hours to bash some blueprints). = Steve Kowalik = * Propose a patch for Launchpad for a change to germinate, get it merged and landed. * Upload netbook-meta, pulling from the new netbook.lucid branch. Do so multiple times. * Merge changes to tasksel, adding netbook, and removed unr and mobile. * Remove mobile-meta, and discuss with the LOSAs how to remove its seed branch. * Test my changes to livecd-rootfs, uploading it, and organising installation on the buildds. * Discover issues that relate to changes with desktop versus une, and fix the seeds. Three times. * Push out my changes for the rename to the public branch of cdimage. * Merge the changes into the deployed cdimage code. * Also fix debian-cd and merge it in too. * After an hour or so of poking around, discover why my cron.germinate changes caused it to bail and fix two scripts on rookery. Fix component-overrides generation while I was there. * Thursday archive admin duties. = Tobin Davis = * Continued work on porting LSB tests to arm. Currently focusing on T2C test suites. = Paul Larson = * Was able to begin testing images on imx51 with successful images beginning on 20091213 * Collected additional requested debug data for bug #494787 - firefox crashed with SIGSEGV * Wrote a script for the bringup testing that uses the bootchart tarball to gather the amount of time it took for boot * rebuilt dove kernel with patch from bug #494831 * created a new install image with the kernel for bug #494831 to test the fix - fix worked, and I was able to create a working dove image to test with * made a qemu-arm-static build environment to mess with, see if I can gain any efficiency with it, did some performance comparisons, not impressed with the result * Tested a new build of Chromium on ARM, still seeing some SIGILL issues, but able to get further * Started working on install testing blueprint = Alexander Sack = * Vacation. = Oliver Grawert = * Vacation. -- Jamie Bennett Ubuntu Mobile Developer -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
