Some updates on the port status as of today.
Of course, we had the traditional surprises with switching to saucy 
meaning new toolchain, new python version, and we had to fix a lot of 
components to make them buildable again across all components (some were 
missing includes now that gcc is stricter, some others were some new 
files shipped by python3.3, evolution changed and didn't have 
introspection anymore, so needed to remove the evolution scope...). Also 
we needed to ensure to have the latest sdk and got new tests failures on 
some stacks. All is now mainly fixed, after several relaunch and fix 
stack correctness.

We also had some manual upload made in the distro without backporting 
the changes to the Vcs. As daily release ensure and enforce that we 
don't overwrite potential fix to distro, we had to backport those as well.

Web credentials had a lot of tests failing once switched to saucy. Some 
fixes finally went it (waited on the upstream merger to do its work), 
this is now in and we are currently rebuilding those components + 
running the tests. As touch apps and Unity are now depending on it, this 
can introduce some delays.

Finally, got some unity surprises like segfaulting during running tests, 
change in the toolkit raising some warnings as errors and so on :) We 
had to go to the pragmatical path and merge everything manually (because 
of the queue of the upstream merger which would have delayed us by 
3x3h). We could permit this as we did a local build test, and knowing 
that rebuild in the ppa was done next.

After all those dragons down and epic hunting, we are mostly done! As of 
now, what's remaining is:
- the media stack (this doesn't block the rest of landing) which have a 
bunch of components failing to build on saucy due to latest libhybris. 
Ricardo fixed those with Lukasz,
- ensuring the webcreds fixes are in and working
- fixing a gdrive scope drive FTBFS. This seems to be a deeper issue in 
the scope with python 3.3. Lukasz is currently looking at it, but we may 
need help from Michal, Pawel or Martin (but they will only be around 
tomorrow). This is the latest big blocker I'm afraid of.

I've frozen the current state on purpose to not daily release during the 
night (apart on stack still failing like webcredentials and media) so 
that we can push all that to ubuntu early tomorrow morning (European 
time) if those 3 blockers are fixed and dealing with the NEWing ack and 
MIRing for the targetted components.

This is still valid and "ignored" right now to focus on the big landing 
(tm) first. :)
