Hi Ken. I've made a meta-linaro project on Launchpad and created the
near term blueprints. See:

Hi Michael,
The blueprints are looking good to me - thanks. As for the priorities -
I think it would be nice to use Linaro QEMU to boot the images. It's
probably easy to integrate. So, we may want to spent the time on picking
low hanging fruits. If it turns out to be more complex than expected we
could lower its priority again.
What the blueprints not reflect is the time/work for maintaining the
layer and I'm not sure whether they should. But I'd like to rebase
against a current OE-core every now and then and adjust meta-linaro if
needed. Most of this could be run in a semi-automatic fashion but
debugging arising issues usually takes some time. For example right now
there is a newly introduced recipe for bdwgc (the Hans Boehm garbage
collector which is needed by guile) and it turns out that it uses a
version of libatomic that will fail when building in Thumb mode. Often
these are known or solved problems as far as upstream is concerned but
they need to be discussed/integrated/workaround with/into/by OE-Core.
You're almost done with the initial layer work. Next is scripting up
the build and integrating with LAVA followed by turning on the build
for other architectures.
Yep, what's currently missing is to automate the image boot using QEMU
but that should be doable (similar to the solution I did for automating
the extraction of the memory footprint from the various images using
named pipes to communicate with the guest).
I've dropped the build in the cloud investigation. Let's use
tcserver01 as it works and is fast enough. Keep an eye on the
validation lab cloud the Validation guys are talking about - we might
shift there later.
Alright - fine with me.
I've sent the draft card to Loïc who will massage the text and get it
on the TSC agenda. The current blueprints focus on toolchain
validation and come to a hard stop past there. Once we have TSC
approval we can go further and talk with the Platforms guys about who
does what.
Ok.
Regards,
Ken
