Good to hear, thanks! I have no strong needs for this, i was just 
curious about the am335x-evm test failures.

Yes, that's right, Arago/Danny already use kernel 3.8. My mistake!
To be more precise, my question was related to QA stuff. For now, build 
and test automation are still done with Arago/Danny, any plan to switch 
to or add Arago/Dylan config?

On the side, any plan to add beaglebone and/or beaglebone-black to the 
list of machines used by your continuous integration systems?

Interesting! What I found so far:
  - https://github.com/prabindh/qt-configs
  - http://e2e.ti.com/search/default.aspx#q=qt5&g=29&sc=forum
  - and of course https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5, which depends on 
oe master :(

What I would like to achieve by the next months is to provide an 
{arago|angstrom|poxy}-danny-qt5 SDK and custom rootfs to the dev guys. 
Will see how it goes!
