Landing team 19.02.14

 

Hey,

So, we did finally published image 192 (on all devices but not on maguro, see below)!
Since yesterday, not a lot entered in the automatically and manually 
kicked image. Mostly toolchain changed. However, we have the new unity 7 
core lib changes from yesterday.
There is one flaky test on notes-app[1]. Olivier continues looking at 
this one. This flaky test isn't new, so not a blocker.
There have been a lot of new distro changes and sync from debian, we 
started to build a new image to get those under tests.
However, we do have a camera-app regression on maguro due to a new 
libunity-core[2] from unity7. The consequence is that we get better 
performances of unity8 with more redraw but maguro doesn't seem to cope 
very well with it. As maguro is going to be discontinued in a very short 
period with the switch to android 4.4, we prefers for the latest 
available image for it to be as good as possible, and so, that it 
doesn't suffer from this bug. We kept it back on the trusty channel to 
image 188 from Monday (you can still get the latest from 
trusty-proposed). If anyone want to jump on that ship and can find a way 
to get the situation better on maguro while not regressing the improved 
performance on other device, they are really welcomed and we can 
consider promote an image for maguro again.
As well, we are looking for options on how we should handle maguro 
demotion in the incoming days once we switch to android 4.4, as the 
image will then be stalled. For instance, should we just put an image 
somewhere and tell to people "you can use that to play with, but it's 
not the latest and not supported anymore", should we promote the latest 
maguro image to the stable channel… Your inputs are really welcomed here.
Cheers,
Didier
