* X-Fade reports on progress with Maemo OBS
** Found a bug in gcc that was causing high VM usage in some compiles.
** The new OBS can use targeted gcc versions, but may cause issues.
** SB2 setup is on-going.  We have contact with the maintainer and may have a sub-optimal but functional deb version soon.
* Javispedro notes there are issues with SB2.3 pre building in Fremantle. He created a patch that gets around it, but it should be fixed up stream if possible.
* Also noted, SB2 has different paths for it's toolchain (vs SB1).
* Q&A session with X-Fade and Javispedro about current state and issues around OBS.
* Javispedro will likely be out for two meetings after next week (18th/25th).

== Q & A about OBS (taken from various meeting minutes) ==

''Q:'' What are the current roadblocks?<br>
''A:'' Getting bootstrapping for SB2 is currently on-going, which just takes time & experimentation.  Authentication of OBS is also an issue, as it requires moving the user database to LDAP.

''Q:'' Will the new OBS be slower than the old system?<br>
''A:'' It shouldn't be, as a large part of the build will be done via cross-compile instead of emulated local compile.

''Q:'' Will maintainership issues be easier with OBS?<br>
''A:'' Yes, as OBS has a more granular ACL system that allows permissions to be broken up.  It's far more script-able than the current system.
