Releasing (Fathi)

• MeeGo 1.1.2 is out \o/ Hooray!
• MeeGo 1.1.2 QA results successfull even without MADDE hotfix. Need investigations.

• MeeGo 1.2
  • Toolchains IA32/ARM promoted to Tools:SDK:Host on week 4
  • kickstart file should have only minimal set of packages listed (BMC#11607) (Fathi)
  • Qt 4.7.1/Qt Creator 2.1/Qt tools promoted to Tools:SDK:Host on week 4 (Fathi)

• MWC will get QEMU GL ES for IA32

• Qt simulator
  • Qt simulator for Linux is in progress. (Jackie Wu) (DONE)
    • simulator-qt standalone? or qmake extra package only? (Jackie Wu/Fathi) simulator-qt standalone works.
  • Windows: Max has trouble with Qt Simulator on Windows. It is 4GB. It is still developer build, for Tim's formal scripts doesn't work. Tim should help to fix the scripts. Maurice will ping Tim when he is back to office.
  • MeeGo devices are missing, aava skin for IA32. It's in progress. (Jackie) (Jun Tian)
    • Create gitorious project? (Jackie)

• QEMU
  • Images missing since 2 weeks because release team switched to weekly build and forget to create them in time (manual creation...)

Windows port (Max)

• The second preview of MeeGo 1.2 SDK has been released. Qt simulator is included.
• Winchow will be working on update toolchain.
• Build server: handling by IT (http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11762). (Al)
• TODO: Attica/OBS plugin to build only (skip usability for now)

Mac OS X port

• David Lawlor starts at Portland, OR (Intel) on Jan 31st.
• Server has been discussed at intel
• ARM toolchain available

Toolchains (Jarmo)

• Still some changes done to communication wiki. Hopefully can be published this week.
• There is a silicon bug in Cortex-A8 (also in N900) which prevents the use of Thumb2 instructions ( http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/ARM_ERRATA_430973.html). Therefore only NEON optimized toolchain can be used in the N900 reference.

• 20110119: RPM changes are done by Carsten Munk to detect armv7nh and armv7nhl architetcures. Patch will be submitted to upstream.
• 20110119: Open question still whether to allow Thumb2 instruction set by default or not. May lead to new subarchitectrue "armv7tnhl" to indicate Thumb2. Thumb2 provides more compact code than the normal ARM instruction set. Discussion ongoing.
• 20110126: Thumb2 is supported. Two new architectures more: armv7thl (Thumb2 with VFPv3-D16) and armv7tnhl (Thumb2 with NEON). Also RunFast is supported in glibc. Change wikipage updated accordingly.

• GCC has been updated to 4.5.1
  • Planned deliveries
    • Toolchain delivery (Linux) for 1.1.80.11, 2010-12-16 -- 2010-12-22
    • Toolchain delivery (Windows) for 1.1.90.0, 2011-01-20 -- 2011-01-2

Documentation (Taru)

• Taru Laine is the doc team lead.
• status of Windows SDK and API reference (updates for 1.1) - when can documentation be finalized? Windows SDK OK, no known update needs for API reference, but info on Qt Mobility backend needed. -> MeeGo 1.1.2 update blog post and release notes cover the Windows SDK issue. No new information on Qt Mobility received, this issue will be discussed Taru: would you please send me details about issues with Windows SDK? -Max Taru: Done, I was merely referring to the official announcement on Windows support for MeeGo 1.1.
  • Blog post on MeeGo SDK 1.1.2 release update to be issued as soon as possible. Draft from Fathi available already, but needs to be reviewed. -> content for release notes and blog post finalised on 14 January and sent to Fathi for publishing.
• 20101215 AP doc team: go through open action points from review sessions for SDK 1.1 release ONGOING This will probably be covered by the blog post on MeeGo SDK 1.1.2, apart from Qt Mobility issues.
• MeeGo SDK Documentation status meetings have started again. This week's agenda can be found here:
