Just as I've got my pandabox up and accessible comes the question of do we want arm images at all....
infinity> ScottK / Riddell: If I dropped the ancient ti-omap4 kernel, pvr-omap4, and the *-omap-revert X server/drivers from the archive, thus effectively killing the ability to have a kubuntu-omap4 image, would you care? 21:15 infinity> ScottK / Riddell: That whole stack is somewhere between unsupportable and lolz, I'd much rather we just drop it entirely. 21:15 Riddell> infinity: I'd care but I'd be convincable 21:24 Riddell> infinity: but server has omap4 too? 21:24 infinity> Riddell: omap4 for server can be done with the -generic kernel, since it doesn't need a decent graphics driver. 21:28 infinity> Riddell: That's potentially doable for kubuntu too, if you guys don't care about having any acceleration. 21:28 infinity> (Entirely impossible for Ubuntu Desktop, since we rely on working GL/EGL) 21:29 infinity> Riddell: Basically, supporting the quantal kernel and a reverted X server forever is just not a tenable solution. 21:29 Currently the images don't work because I think there's something wrong with Ubiquity when running in the installer only mode these images use. But I can't verify or work on this because the graphics drivers are broken for anything that needs libwayland meaning KWin doesn't work. The images only work on Pandaboard which isn't a useful end user device. I had hoped that Nexus images would give us something that could be run on a nice end user device but the nexus images were not supported by the rest of Ubuntu long before they switched to whatever Ubuntu Touch uses. So I fear we have to drop the arm images for now since we don't have the skills on the team to get it running on any hardware.
