CI with Native Linaro GCC: daily/weekly builds at launchpad

Registered by David Zinman

Continuous Integration with Native Linaro GCC

Goals:
 - Be able to build debian packages with the toolchain
 - For validation it needs to build at least one not-so-simple package with it
 - Weekly builds are desirable
   - Launchpad supports only daily or by request at the interface
   - There's an API at launchpadlib to request new builds: requestBuild method on the source_pacakge_recipe for weekly builds

Whiteboard

[hrw 5.10.11] two bugs are linked as work items - will add more WIs during work
[hrw 13.10.11] recipe created: https://code.launchpad.net/~linaro-pkg/+recipes
[hrw 14.10.11] BP blocked by https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/173422
[hrw 9.11.11] moved to 11.11 cycle due to LP bugs
[hrw 9.11.11] Launchpad builds looks like work now - tests tomorrow
[hrw 21.11.11] 'mc' was used as something more complicated

Headline: gcc-linaro (native) is now built automatically by Continuous Integration

Acceptance: gcc-Linaro packages for 11.11 available at the Overlay, daily packages available at the Staging PPA, installed at the developer image, able to build packages with it
