Coming up to release there are a few things that the extended testing
has shown up which we have fixes for and which we should consider
including in the release. I also finally got around to doing the final
sstate stress testing and found several problematic issues. Given that
sstate and checksums are a significant feature of this release, I'd
really like them to work as well as we can make them. Prior to this I
had stress tested the backend up not the use of the packages. These
changes don't change any sstate packages themselves, just the use of
them.

Since we already have the release images prepared and tested and these
are not going to change, the criteria for potential changes:

a) We can unit test the changes and be confident they don't
break/regress things.

For the Future: Besides doing a basic build, we need to have some real unit tests for bitbake and the poky infrastructure, I guess I need to turn this into a Testing feature request for 1.0 (look for it soon).

b) They fix important bugs that the user can easily run into
or that make the project look bad.

After reviewing the changes I agree, don't get me wrong, I am still very nervous about these changes.

c) The changes are small, well documented and are obviously correct
looking at the code/patch.

Some times we over look the obvious changes, been caught by that myself too many time.

d) The don't change the generated images.

<SNIP>

I'm not happy about being in this position and I know Dave will be very
nervous about these late changes. To mitigate this I'd like to propose
that a selection of people (Josh, Mark, Saul?) review these changes and
report back on whether they feel these are appropriate and also give the
build some testing with these applied.

I'm so predictable... :-) Yes, I'm nervous. I looked at all of the patches and with the exception of one or two, they mostly seem like good ones. I will accept these if Josh/Mark/Saul give us a +1 on their review& testing.

If there was 1 or 2 changes, I would be much happier, but there are almost a dozen changes, yes mostly individually they are OK, I am still reviewing them all, and have not started any testing with them yet.

I agree with Dave that there are a couple that I am more nervous about the pseudo/fakeroot as we have had so much trouble in the past, yes I know this will make things better, but what else will crop up?

Cheers,

Richard
