[yocto] Minutes: Yocto Technical Team Meeting - (Tuesday, September 20, 2011 8:00 AM-9:00 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada))

[Liu, Song]

Action Items:
 
- Saul: work with Mark, Beth together to decide if we can delay RC3 to accommodate fixes for RPM dependency issues in RC3 in order to reduce the risk of RC4.
- Paul: will send out email to the mailing lists to advertize the wiki page for tested distros and collect the list from the community and the public.  
 
Attendees:
Darren, ScottR, Jessica, Beth, Mark, Paul, Matthew, Saul, Josh, Denys, Tom, Song
 
Agenda:
 
* Opens collection - 5 min (Song)
* Yocto 1.1 M4 status review and issues - 15 min (team) https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v1.1_Release_Criteria#Milestone_ 
  - Bug fixing summary and issues (Song): 
    . We still have 31 bugs left for 1.1 and 7 of them are high bugs. Our focus is still bug fixing. Even though most of the medium bugs won't be included in Yocto 1.1 release, we should still try our best to get them in the master
    1492-Saul: 2 parts, 1 part we already have a fix. The other part should be done by tonight.
    1466-Mark: no need to be fixed by this release. 
    1489: this problem was found on ARM also, and it's fixed for ARM. It should be re-verified and see if it's already been fixed.
    1444: this one should be fixed. Need to be marked as resolved for QA to verify.
    1457: Mark is working on this one, change owner to Mark.
  - Build status and QA (Beth/Song)
    Minor issues with autobuilders. Should be resolved before RC3. BSPs for RC2 have been build. ADT tool chain is complete for RC2 also.
  - Release schedule:
    . Mirror on kernel.org is still down. Mark has some fixes (related to 1457) that need to be included in 1.1 release. It's better if these fixes can be included in RC3 so we can reduce the risk of RC4. Saul will work with Mark, Beth together to decide if we can delay RC3 to accommodate these fixes in RC3.
    . We still have remaining autobuilder issues and high bugs that we cannot get in RC3, so we have to have a RC4. This will delay our Yocto 1.1 release to Oct 17th, 2011.
* Opens
  - videos for ADT and HOB (ScottR): Jessica is setting up the environment in order to produce the ADT screen cast. HOB will be handled by Joshua. ScottR is wafting for these videos.
  - Beagle board testing firmware package (Darren):
    Darren would like to have testing done one newer Beagle Board revisions. If anyone has these boards can help. Paul has rev B (BB XM) board. 
    Darren would like to have guideline for recipes to package firmware. (Josh) We already have a recipe for that to package firmware. Darren will look into it.
  - RPM dependency generation (Mark):
    Part of the problem will be fixed by 1457. Mark will file an enhancement bug to track the other part that we cannot do anything at this point. 
  - tested distros (Paul): We will need to collect the list from the team and the community. Paul takes the action item to send out emails.
