    -Beth: Master is mostly green except eclipse plug-in is failing. There is some kernel fetch issues. Will open a bug against this. Build appliance is in. make the water fall harder to read.  Using grid view should help.  Iona looked at the Eclipse issue, cannot recreate. Could be related to that some local libs are upgraded.

    already mentioned this in mailing list. Got some issues, pulled some patches from the mailing list for this, would like to let people know this. Please let me know if you have any feedback.
 
* Team sharing - 20 min
  - ScottR: new manual on the latest doc area on the website. All 6 docs concatenated together for the purpose of searching. Please take a look and comment if you can.
  - Paul: working on some bitabke tools last week, enabled new feature to allow specify a recipe then search data files for you. Will follow cache directory recursively. Find out why a task was re-run. The patches are on the mailing list for this. Again, Tasks-rework, RFC sent out, please reply.
  - Christian: working on adding a new machine qemu86 machine with kvm enabled, with gto to improve networking and other io performance.  Add virtio driver next. It's not clearly how I will go with this one. There are some options. Looking for input. 2550. Saul: virtio is enabled by kernel by default right now. Will follow up with Christian
  - RP: bitbake for tracing, and message improvement. If people are not clear where the error is after seeing the error message, please file bugs. It will improve the user experience. Show the error message in the bug.
  -Bjorn: posted patches on package testing (Ptest), it would be nice to have everyone interested to take a look and point out errors. It's getting bigger, would like to make sure the direction is correct. So please send feedback. RP: this probably something we should talk more on the oe-core list. Saul: on the right track.
