== What's about to land that might impact the other teams ==

== Summary of bugs working on by team ==

 * http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/799965

   ICEs and infinite loops in neon_disambiguate_copy()
 * http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875928
   SRU: mutrace, uninstallable as it strictly depends on a specific binutils
   version.
 * http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877333
   dh_movefiles: debian/tmp/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.6 not found

 * http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/892008

== Dependencies on other teams, blocking items ==

 * Compiz: blocked from DX team side because of the need to put test automation
   and build infrastructure.

== Issues ==

 * Lack of SGX drivers for ARMHF can delay the Unity 3D support for Precise
   (to be discussed with TI).
