Summary

• Lots of fixes went into the omap3 and 4 images
• A TI ppa apturl support fully implemented
• OMAP3 3D drivers are packaged and currently in review, we will likely upload to universe early next week.
• Still the whole team is focused on fixing the highmem and sound issues on OMAP4 in close collaboration with the respective TI teams
• The FTBFS list on qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs is empty now.
• There were build issues with the dove images due to antimony (our main build machine) being upgraded to lucid

Expected serious impact for final release (section did not change, leaving here as a general reminder)

• We will get the final hardware date for OAMP4 was confirmed to be October 4th, it might be necessary that the OMAP4 image release gets delayed
• The above will also require late kernel and bootloader package changes and uploads to the archive.
• TI works hard currently to get all code ready and prepared already where it can be done without new silicon
• We are trying to get it in by hard freeze, if that does not work for some reason (silicon or code bugs) we will resort to doing SRUs for the above mentioned packages.
• In case the release for OAMP4 wont be on time we will roll a delayed image as 10.10.1 for OMAP4 specifically based on the SRU packages.
