Whiteboard

[rsalveti, 21 Nov, 2011] Moving it to 11.12 for now, but it's still blocked by the lack of ddebs support at the PPA.
[hrw 2011.12.01] sysroots are available at: http://people.linaro.org/~hrw/generic-linux/sysroots/
[hrw 2011.12.01] I use date and release number for versioning (YYYYMMDD-RR)
[rsalveti, Dec 21, 2011] Good progress in general, but still missing dbg support (which was done at this cycle), moving to 12.01.
[hrw 2012.01.03] sysroots with dbgsym support are available at: http://people.linaro.org/~hrw/generic-linux/sysroots/
[dzin 2012.01.13] Move to trunk
[hrw 25.01.2012] sysroots need some work and also automatic generation (there will be separate BP for it)
[rsalveti, Jan 25, 2012] Can you then work with dzin to get this new bp in place? Then please move the TODO wis there and mark this BP as implemented.
[rsalveti, Jan 26, 2012] Postponed items will be part of the automated sysroot bp for 12.02

Headline: An official sysroot, based on Ubuntu LEB, is now available for people to use with the cross toolchain.
Acceptance: able to build sysroot with -dev and -dbg packages, tarball available at a public place for people to download and try, able to have it to work with the cross toolchain
