Everything should move into the data centre later * Benchmarks * Loic noted that we want everything in the open and reproducible, so prefer freely usable benchmarks * Don't want trivial benchmarks * Most commercial benchmarks include the source but have restrictions on sharing the results * Michael asked for suggestions on benchmarks * Michael to look at freely usable benchmarks such as lmbench * Current tickets * Yao and Michael will look at Firefox * Ulrich is investigating the next in the list * Michael would like to send a weekly 'State of the toolchain' update * Consumed by linaro-dev, Ubuntu toolchain maintainers, and perhaps others like Ubuntu kernel maintainers * Loic suggested via Launchpad news * Discussed communication with Ubuntu * All notification to go via Ubuntu toolchain maintainers * U-T-M has responsibility to pass this downstream * Loic talked with a developer on Chrome OS * Interested in trying the toolchain * Currently plain GCC 4.4.1 * Require something very stable * ACTION: Loic to find a name for the records * General want for us to try building Chrome OS using the Linaro toolchain * PowerPC * Ulrich talked with Matthias at the end of the sprint * From a Ubuntu perspective, don't want 4.5 to regress in features vs 4.4 * Revert the 4.4 PowerPC changes, keep SH and MIPS. Ubuntu doesn't support SH or MIPS so no change * ACTION: Ulrich to confirm with Matthias Next call is on Wednesday _______________________________________________ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
