elfutils status 2009-1-19

[Roland McGrath <roland at redhat dot com>]

Last week:

Actual time on elfutils: 80%

* very braindead week (ugh)

* posted brain dump wrt 0.138 libelf (elf_update) regression
  -> hope Uli will figure it all out for me

* gzip/bzip2 support in libdwfl (RHBZ #472136)

* dwarflint nit fixes

* enabled 'transif' user, filed RHBZ #480713
  -> keep an eye out for translator activity

* stared at attr value interfaces, no real progress

* mass tests on dwarfcmp -T, dwarflint
** dwarflint doing well
** dwarfcmp -T uses pathological amounts of memory for large files;
   more or less expected, though surprising how huge;
   not representative (hopefully) of how the output data structures
   will really work
*** rejiggered debuginfo-test-scripts slightly so it's less likely
    to simultaneously test on two huge files with similar names
** no dwarfcmp failures

* contemplating some imported_unit issues

* F11 feature page got wrangled and went to FESCo
** feedback: want more concrete details, delivery dates
   -> yeah, me too, buddy
** jkeating says "maybe mid-Feb" for F11 mass rebuild
   -> 4 weeks for the whole kit and kibootle to be done & perfect (uh...)


This week:

Expected time on elfutils: 80%

* post to dwarf-discuss list wrt imported_unit issues

* 0.139 release
** needs elf_update issue resolved

* attr value interfaces
