Hi, Here are the minutes of this week's mobile team meeting. They can also be found online along with the irc log and weekly team report here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/Meeting/2009/20100105 = Agenda = == Action Items from December 22nd, 2009 == * cooloney to ask ericm about 2.6.32 patches for marvell dove * NCommander to email Marvell about the date of the next expected kernel drop * asac, ogra, persia to make sure .32 backporting for imx51 kernels is documented somewhere (c/o) == Current Items == * http://piware.de/workitems/mobile/lucid-alpha2/report.html == Standing Items == * http://piware.de/workitems/mobile/lucid/report.html * ARM Image Status * Any Other Business == Action Items == * NCommander to invite relevant kernel people to the next meeting. * asac, ogra, persia to make sure .32 backporting for imx51 kernels is documented somewhere (c/o). * ogra, asac, NCommander to blog on planet about ARM work. * Work item review * ALL, check work items due for Alpha-2 and either complete, postpone or push to Alpha-3. * asac, JamieBennett to discuss MIR stalling for 2D launcher. * asac to report on Chromiums licensing issue progress. == Minutes == * asac, ogra, and persia agreed to meet to discuss getting the non arch specific features of the current kernel backported to the .31 kernel if it was deemed worthwhile. * ericm got a kernel drop from Marvell and is currently working on re-basing it. Initial indications from ericm are that the new re-based kernel could be read this week. ericm pointed out that the Marvell branch is held at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=marvell/dove-kernel/.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/marvell-dove-2.6.32.2 * There is currently a backlog of team work items for Alpha-2. asac urged the team to check specs, try to complete or push them back to Alpha-3/postpone them where necessary. ogra pointed out that we still have until Monday to close work items and that at least his would be in better shape then. * NCommander noted that we should have working alternates for Alpha2, although at the moment the dove variant is broken during kernel installation. There was some discussion on whether we should be testing alternates or not due to a lack of man power. The conclusion was that we would produce the images but not officially support them. * asac asked what the status of the debconf-communicate slowness in Casper was. JamieBennett said that there was multiple solutions but one stood out as the best. * asac asked when all-pairs testing could be done. plars replied that the test pairs are generated and documented on the wiki but detail for them needs to be written on the qa testplan wiki. He went on to explain that the pairs were generated programatically and had to be translated manually into corresponding items. * ogra indicated that the uboot spec was on target for being completed by the weekend. * JamieBennett raised concern that some MIR's for the 2D launcher were stalled. asac agreed to discuss them after the meeting. * asac outlined the status of his spec's, thumb work items are review based ones so will be done at the end, chromium is on track after some hard work and suspend-resume testing was mostly moved to Alpha-3. Discussion petered off on to chromiums licensing issues with asac indicating that he was working on it. * StevenK said that he was planning to break armel images by getting them built as the UNE (Ubuntu Netbook Edition) this week. asac raised concern that we should keep the desktop image until at least Alpha-2 release so we have a working image. StevenK agreed. Discussion continued on what will be the final image for ARM devices, UNE with the 2D launcher was decided to be the main focus. * asac mentioned that he had gone through the FTBFS (Fail to build package list) and assigned them to either NCommander or dyfet for fixing. NCommander said he had uploaded a fix for ocaml and was thanked for it. Discussion continued on where the focus should be on the FTBFS list, it was concluded that main should be FTB free if possible and universe should be too but focus was on main if a conflict arose. * A more community engaged approach to testing was discussed. As the community generally don't have the hardware to test many of our issues it is quite hard. More blogging and general publicising of what we do is needed. ogra pointed to a post at his blog, http://ograblog.wordpress.com/2009/07/18/juggling-your-arms-in-karmic-and-no-more-excuses/, that indicates some engagement is happening but asac wanted more. ogra, asac and NCommander took the action to blog about ARM work. -- 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
