The 6th patch actually switches to Jessie which we will want to schedule a bit more carefully. In particular this requires: * Switch to apt-cacher-ng on the cache host, since a bug in Jessie's apt apparently interacts badly with apt-cacher's handling of Ranges in http requests[0]. I've deployed apt-cacher-ng on an alternative port on the production cache and tested that it works with Jessie and Wheezy. * A firmware upgrade on the Arndale boards, since the new version of gcc seems to trigger an SoC errata when building the kernel. The reason I care about upgrading to Jessie is that this adds the arm64 architecture which we hope to eventually have hardware for. Roger, I will only CC you on the ts-install-freebsd script change.
