Notes:
[2012/8/21 pfefferz] Put notes here please.
[2012/8/22 patrikryd] Some WI move here from https:/
[2012/8/28 patrikryd] The internal build has problems with active wallpaper. Preparing the delivery and should be able to deliver once the wallpaper problem is solved.
[2012/8/29 patrikryd] Ran into some problems with the delivery. Things would have been much easier if the snowball team had done what the planned and committed to do. :(
[2012/9/04 patrikryd] The internal packing script has problems packing the vendor tarball. Testing the patches (without vendor tarball) on a snowball and a panda build on hackbox.
[2012/9/05 patrikryd] Both Panda and Snowball builds ok on hackbox.
[2012/9/05 patrikryd] The version of the gits in the tarball are not in sync and does not match the packing script. Need to rebase a few patches on the "build system".
[2012/9/10 patrikryd] Waiting for internal delivery of the tarball (from the System Integration org) to me so I can test the tarball before delivery.
[2012/9/14 patrikryd] Received a vendor tarball from SI yesterday evening. The test build on hackbox chrashed on boot. Investigating.
[2012/9/14 patrikryd] Problem found. gralloc.snowball.so missing after packing. Patch submitted and
packing started again at SI.
[2012/9/17 patrikryd] Still waiting for new delivery from SI after fixing the gralloc.snowball.so issue.
[2012/9/19 patrikryd] Have verified the vendor tarball -> Time to deliver !!!
[2012/9/20 patrikryd] Patches reviewed and merged.
[2012/9/20 patrikryd] https:/
[2012/9/20 patrikryd] The problem the snowball team is debugging is actually https:/
[2012/9/24 patrikryd] Everything done except the the ST-Ericsson snowball team will deliver a bug fix for live wallpaper. Should not take long now that I have pointed out the internal commit that solves the problem.
[2012/9/24 pfefferz] Removed "Debug platform issues (ST-E India 2012/9/14): INPROGRESS" it captured in the bug.
