 * Updated https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchCross after discussions at
DebConf about cross and support for -dev packages.

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

 * Newer U-Boot-Linaro, with fixes for Pandaboard and hopefully
updates at the PXE implementation.
 * Updates at the cross-toolchain packages to reflect the latest gcc changes.
 * New PVR SGX driver, based on TI's DDK 1.9.
 * Kernel updates from the TI Landing Team, still based on 3.4.

== Summary of bugs working on by team ==

 * gcc-4.7: FTBTS on lucid
   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=680590
 * SRU: X11 crashes with seg fault when running QT5 based applications
on a Pandaboard with the SGX driver:
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1015292

== Dependencies on other teams, blocking items ==

 * Newest Compiz with support for OpenGL ES 2.0 (for proper Unity 3D support)

== Issues ==

 * Latest PVR SGX driver from TI is not behaving properly with
Compiz/Unity-3D, and lack of a proper driver to validate the work
might be an issue.
