Whiteboard

Notes:
[2012/6/7 pfefferz] Put notes here.
[2012/6/? zyga] I'm trying to build the tests into our images. We'll get a separate set of daily builds with the 'tests' variant. Once they compile cleanly and work just as well we can consider dropping the normal builds. I'm still unsure how to run particular tests (needs some research or help from someone that knows). I'd like to be able to run simple 'hello world' tests (based on JUnit) and get the results out
[2012/6/25 zyga] Snowball build blocked by gcc 4.6 bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+bug/1016070
[2012/6/25 zyga] Panda build updated to reflect current changes in tilt tracking (new kernel, no blobs), build passed
[2012/6/25 zyga] Snowball updated to match non-tests variant, build in progress, need a better way to get notified of configuration changes
[2012/6/25 pfefferz] Good progress was made, but all the builds didn't get switched over. Will shoot for this in 12.07.
[2012/6/28 zkrynicki] Blocked by bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/1018832 (resolved locally, will push fix to gerrit)
[2012/6/29 zkrynicki] Slowed down by https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/10189652
[2012/7/2 zkrynicki] That bug is no longer blocking me (patches waiting for review: http://review.android.git.linaro.org/#change,2359 and http://review.android.git.linaro.org/#change,2358 )
[2012/7/2 zkrynicki] Updated summary to have new Why/Who/Where/Context sections
[2012/7/6 zkrynicki] I've postponed two items that are really a part of a dedicated blueprint (automate-android-tests) and don't belong here anymore. We can remove them zach is okay with that. I've also added a new work item to track if skia tests are built into the image (initial analysis seems to indicate they are not)
[2012-07-23 zkrynicki] Postponed one item, will convert to a bug report
[2012-07-23 zkrynicki] Closing this blueprint
