week"

You can easily use the query page in trac to see what open issues you
have.


Please send me agenda items for discussion.

      Topics:
            Do we have another build for widespread deployment?  
		If so, which one? If not, what's missing?
	    Are our performance tools now in the build?
	    Discussion / Assignment of PRS issues for closure
		http://wiki.laptop.org/go/PRS
            Priorities between now and BTest
	    Driver status and integration status.
            Action items / New Bug Triage


Old action items:
AI: Marcelo with do whatever is necessary to Fedora tomorrow
	to resolve touchpad problem - pull the new LinuxBIOS fix. (done)

AI: Chris Blizzard - ping Soren about memprof
   - pull the performance packages into the git tree.
   - 105: Installing Fedora Core page is out of date.  
	Chris needs to fix it or delegate it. (done)
    - 118: GCC optimizations - Blizzard owns.  Jim points out
	 that there is a machine-specific configuration file that is 
	 a good place to put collections of flags that we find to be
	 useful.  We also should put information about good 
         compiler flags on the wiki.


AI: Chris Ball: reassign trac 105 to John. 
          (huh, 105 is about X stuff. confusion reigns.)

AI: Jordan to review residual PRS complaints. (done)
	results in http://wiki.laptop.org/go/PRS
	- 106: Document VSA dependencies.  Jordan is fighting the 
	   battle to get the documents on the restricted web site opened
	   up.  Use the Source, Luke.

AI: Andres, Check the LinuxBIOS installation instructions. (done)

AI: Jim - to push VSA bits to git. (done)
        - ask Ivan whether infrastructure setup is done (done)
        - create an OLPC "please can you fix this for us" list? 
                   (done: opportunity milestone).

AI: Mitch, check with Ivan and Mark about ability to hard reset
	reliably after reflashing, add trac entry for Mark.
	- Talk with Ivan about a Zen image for a frozen release builder.
	- Board failure USB/Marvell - Mitch made no progress this seek.

AI: Marco - 99: reassign to a sugar person (Marco) comment claims it is
	blocked on #139
	- 102: Create sugar log file. 

AI: J5 - #139  Add gnome-python2-gtkmozembed package

AI: marcelo - Temporary filesystems should be in RAM

AI: Richard - 113: LinuxBIOS flashing procedure needs additional step
     fixed, need to be closed.


New bugs to triage:

Clean /tmp on reboot, is this being done, or does it need tracing?

Current bugs in need of a status update, in descending priority:

Temporary filesystems should be in RAM
  http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/65

Add gnome-python2-gtkmozembed package
  http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/139
  (Blocking new sugar builds.)

SERIRQ can run in quiet mode when 3700 is deployed
  http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/136
  (Assigned to cjb?)

Buildrom fails on fc5
  http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/120

fedora olpc kernel fails to build with different config
  http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/119

LinuxBios flashing procedure seems to need additional step.
  http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/113

Trac needs better notifications
  http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/80

Create IPv6 test net at OLPC (is blocking work on #7, #18, #19, #34)
  http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/111

e820 map incorrectly excludes most of range 0xa0000-100000
  http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/97

a-f segments cause errors in memtest, and fixed region configs are
possibly not set right.
  http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/98



119, 120: FC5 doesn't build kernel or buildrom.  objcopy doesn't like
gap-fill for Richard, but it works for Ron.  Marcello will look into
it some more tomorrow.

126: 8042 timer.  Dave (Jones?) has been informed. Fix it alongside
the tickless patches?
