Weekly Reports
Jamie Bennett (JamieBennett)
This week
- More work on 2D launcher dependencies. Embryo needs a commitment from the Mobile team if it is to be moved to main. As Embryo is only used by edje it was suggested that maybe we combine the two packages? Worked with EFL upstream to discuss code issues. Some progress.
More MIR's produced, this time for efreet and edbus, as of writing they are yet to be picked up.
Discounted Moblin's media player as a possible candidate for the alternate media player spec. It uses clutter which isn't appropriate for us.
Analysed bootcharts from the ARM iMX51 image. Seems initial investigations were right and that the slowness is all in Casper. Combined it with the Casper information under the umbrella page LiveCDSpeedup.
Made a start on the implementation side of the Casper spec. Talked with interested parties to discuss a solution that would not only work but would be the correct solution. Committed initial code which isn't working yet but shows the idea behind the fix. Left this to finish off Alpha-2 targets specs.
- Chased a GDM issue on daily builds. Something crept in but was fixed just as quickly.
- Bit of seed work for 2D launcher, hit a launchpad data corruption bug. Worked with the launchpad team to track it down but to no conclusion.
Future
- Continue on getting a working implementation to fix the debconf-communicate issues in Casper.
- Get 2D launcher dependencies finalised one way or another.
- Investigate kernel patches that may be worth backporting.
- Compare bootcharts from i386 and iMX51 to see if there is any arch specific slowness.

Tobin Davis
- Reloaded Babbage 3 image from Freescale to use as a benchmark and to see if certain hardware issues were working. Discovered a number of issues with current images; audio issues, video refresh issues, etc. Most already have bugs filed against them.
- Finished porting the T2C test suite. Biggest hangup was in packaging, but that has been passed off to Emmet.
- Purchased another SATA drive so that I can do installation testing on dove without disrupting the development image.
- Switched focus to image testing. Dove images broken to the point of not booting.
- As part of swith to full image testing, I have been asked to find the obscure issues. First issue I filed affects all Ubuntu installations; Bug 504116 apport-collect returns incorrect name with -h option. Simple bugs like this can be easily fixed and released, making Ubuntu look more like a highly refined distribution, not a throw together distro.
Future
- More deep testing for issues not normally detected or brushed off with work-arounds.
- Finish any remaining tasks with the mobile-lucid-arm-lib-tests spec.

This week
- Pairwise install testing blueprint
- documented test cases on the qa wiki
- Discussed next steps with Ara
- Requested access to iso tracker DB so that I can insert tests
This blueprint is done, except for adding the virtual milestones to begin testing after A2 is released. Since it doesn't help anything to do that now, that bit has been deferred until after A2 is actually out
- Arm Bringup testing blueprint
- New script to use ldtp to time application startup times
- New tests added
- All complete except for one deferred item (script to gather additional arm-specific information). The remaining item has been done to the extent that it can be, but leaving it open because there could be additional things that make it easier to get some more information in the A3 timeframe.
- Arm Suspend/Resume Blueprint
- reorganized the table on the wiki page to align with work items
- Discussed the tests, priorities, and implementation ideas with others on #ubuntu-arm
- assigned priorities, all A2 targeted work items complete
- Updated bug workflow to include new bug tag "daily" for bugs found during the testing of daily images
- Tested suspend on imx51, still seems to be broken but there are some upcoming patches that should help with that
Future
- Look into an issue that is preventing LTP from building properly in Lucid
- Look into some new tests
- Testing A2 candidate images
- Start running bringup testing suite, document what is needed to run it, start posting results
- Create virtual milestones for pairwise testing, put tests into tracker database
- start on suspend/resume tests
