ARM Status

Q/omap4: a new Q/omap4 3.5 kernel was uploaded yesterday (3.5.0-208.14) and a new one that includes all the patches that went into tilt-3.4[1] after i
started my porting is being worked on.
Hopefully this new one (3.5.0-209.15 [2]) will be the last one before beta1,
and it should fix the hangs rsalveti experiences with pvr-omap4.

Status: Quantal Development Kernel

We’ve recently uploaded the 3.5.0-11.11 Quantal kernel to the release
pocket. This upload most notably provides a rebase to the v3.5.2
upstream stable release. This was also uploaded to the q-lts-backport
[1] PPA to help facilitate testing of the 12.10 kernel in 12.04. We
welcome anyone to please install, test, and let us know your feedback.

Note that we are ~1 week away from Beta 1 Freeze. I intend to upload or
Beta-1 kernel no later than next Tues, Aug 28. If there are any patches
which need to land, send them to the Ubuntu kernel team mailing list
asap.
Important upcoming dates:

  • Thurs Aug 30 – Beta 1 Freeze (~1 week)
  • Thurs Sept 6 – Beta 1 (~2 weeks)
