My understanding is that fbturbo is fb but with SIMD wherever
applicable. I would be curious to learn whether it produces
measurably better results than plain fbdev or modesetting
drivers.
I have no idea why gsettings breaks gdm, I cannot find anything
at all in any of the logs, but I know that updating that one
package breaks things. Worse, unlike on EL6, in EL7 we don't
have kdm and xdm to fall back on when something like this
blows up. :'(
It may be worth cross-checking whether the same problem
is showing up in CentOS, and whether they have a solution.
Otherwise we are in an increasingly tricky situation where
upstream bugs are rendering our efforts increasingly
difficult: on EL6 desktop usefulness is increasingly
questionable because FF doesn't build, and EL7 now appears
to have this issue that renders a non-trivial subset of the
updates from 7.2 broken. :-/

I could not why gsettings breaks gdm. If you have a clue, let me know.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out.
I added the new repository and managed to partially update
my running system. The best I have managed to achieve is:
yum --skip-broken --exclude=gsettings-* update
Updating gsettings-desktop-schemas seems to break gdm, and
thus graphical login. Unortunately, gsettings-desktop-schemas
is a dependency for a lot of packages:

Additionally, using fbdev Xorg driver breaks after the update.
This necessitates using the modesetting driver instead. Not a
huge deal since neither is accelerated, and modesetting, IIRC,
unlike fbdev can drive the HDMI port. The reason why fbdev
breaks is because there is no color mapping support, and
some things assume it to exist. The bug seems to date as far
back as early 2011, but the fix went into the linaro branch
and it obviously hasn't made it into mainline versions. :-(

OK, guessing as to the issue you mentioned: for my building
scripts/logic it was handy for me to have two repo's, one with all
the
old stuff (that is there to stay) and one with the newly build stuff.
I
named them 'base' and 'new'. I thought to merge them before go-live.
I
guess you now only tested against 'base'.

Hi Jacco,
Great work. I'm away at the moment, will catch up with this
thread when I get back. I have my Chromebook with me, though,
and I just created a repo file for the new 7.2 repositories
and did a yum update. The only things that got pulled down
for me were Firefox, bind, and OpenSSL, so it doesn't look
like there have been major updates in this point release
over and above what was in the 7.1 updates. All looks good
from here.
I'll look into the issues below in a couple of weeks
when I get back.

Hi All,
All packages of 7.2 have been build and are here:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/el7-devel/el7/7.2/
So what is next to do?
Things that are on my list are:
* sign all packages
* discuss repo layout and create a redsleeve-release package for it
- I noticed that this could have impact on packages, mainly
kernel
rpms for the different boards)
- might also impact some of the <board>-config rpms
* discuss comps.xml (I am not really in favor of the upstream on we
now
have in 7.1)
* create images
* discuss if the GNOME issue is a blocking issue, or not.
What is the smart method for the discussions? mailing list? mantis
bug
tracker?
Some other items to look at:
* bugs.redsleeve.org always gives me a blank page the first time.
after
one or sometimes more reloads it starts showing bugs. This is
probably a
bug somewhere in our friend 'mod_security'. Gordan?
* I build ABRT/libreport but I am not sure if it works. Frederick?
* need to test if we can also build IPA server, if Silvio is still
interested.
* need to test if we can get KVM to work.
anything else on anybodies mind?
Jacco
PS. I created kernel rpms for the odroid XU3/XU4 together with an
image.
So another board for the collection.
