Hey all,
I've tagged and pushed v2012.10-rc2. It's a little later than I had intended, but I think we're still largely on track for -rc3. That said, lets push -rc3 back to next monday and give a little more time between Albert's u-boot-arm PR being merged and the tag. Speaking of, that's what I expect for the big changes to be between now and then:
- Albert said he plans to have a PR ready by Thursday, that needs to go in.
I am also expecting a Marvell pull request to come before thursday. Prafulla?
- It also NEEDS to have a resolution, for this release, for the ARMv7/unaligned access/gcc 4.7 (and linaro 4.6) thing.
For 2012.07 there was a -mno-unaligned-access option added to all of armv7 in a last-minute attempt to get the release working while a solution was found, and after that no one seemed bothered enough to handle things.
For 2012.10 we still don't have a solution but we have a root cause and the long term solution is to get the compiler fixed, which implies doing a patch -- I've got this effort started. Meanwhile, I see no point in redoing for 2012.10 was was done for 2012.07, seeing how it ended up. Therefore I will add -mno-unaligned-access only to the files which require it. I'll send a patch later today for this.
- Other pull requests of either fixes or things posted by the original merge window closure that hadn't been picked up yet AND are obviously correct or important bug fixes. Otherwise we can hold them off for the next branches.
As a reminder, the next branch is open and I haven't seen any pull requests for that yet, aside from Marek on some of the pre-reqs for DM work.
I have see Tom's tegra pull. for my next. Priority for me right now is the release.
Amicalement,
