release-2010 - last moment hot fixes

[Khem Raj]

Hi Folks,

Please update your release branch to latest tip and rerun your builds
and other tests that you have been doing
and indicate any hot fixes that we need for the final release. Again
update the Testing table with the results

Thank you

I thought I already mentioned this, but we need from master
	95035fb93f662b8036e1083a7a834030b4b98041
f2a9c8045666402811c4e5adeccb62ee2042e0c9
	f7403d0b48339483fa02e4042d2c70b992228beb

Without these the underlying recipes (and my test image) do not build.
I also strongly suggest doing clean builds with a removed downloads
dir. After I did that I caught the ones above.

I'm still working on a php issue. I hope to have a patch soon.
The bad guy seems to be 	f6fa9298359781393ed2466c45cf42da56068bb1
After this patch it has build several times for me, but recently it
did not (even not when revering to just after this patch).
php*/ext/iconv/config.m4 seems to be the bad guy by adding
/usr/include and /usr/lib to the cmd line, but with my m4 and auto
knowledge it takes some time to find and fix this (the value of
--with-iconv-dir does not seem to be used).

Oh btw, I strongly suggest that we also try to solve the multiple
providers thing.
I've seen it for mysqlclient, depmod and one other package and have
reported this a few times.
I do not feel myself sufficiently empowered to remove the old provider
or add a pinning or so.

as I see it, the uclibc variant seems to be really in the bad shape for
release, so I wonder what to do with this? I mean x264/mesa/e2fsprogs build
issues at least, maybe there's more.

Just committed the following 3 things to master, they could also go
into the release (at least the last two ones wrt php).
Still looking for a solution to get php working with iconv as without
it it breaks another recipe (I think ampache).
Open for ideas on that one.

Yes, there are few patches around, but Koen didn't told us yet[1] what
fix/workaround he would preffer for Angstrom 2008/2010.

OE is more than angstrom, and no single distro should  block progress
for the rest, even not if it is the primary distro.
My suggestion would be to upgrade uclibc + binutils. to fix things.
Angstrom then can (and probably already does) pin the current versions.

My 2 cents, Frans.

The alternative is remove uclibc bits from the angstrom distro conf,
removing all doubt about its current status as unsupported/nonworking.

Agree, but that is up to the angstrom maintainers to decide and implement.

Wait a minute here, all the reports I keep seeing are a failure to
compile in 3 non essential tools. I think as Angstrom maintainer Im
quite happy for that state to exist in a release. I know I wouldnt be
using OpenGL and h264 video on a uclibc target.

It's not that easy I think, you fix x264 and mesa, then e2fsprogs[1,2]
fails...

Ok, it's fine with me also. So I should move to some other distro or make my
own, since I would like to have minimal and console images at least working
with this release for the ts72xx.

What do you guys use as the base for your commercial stuff? Which image/distro
available in OE? Thanks.
