== Logbook ==

==== 28./29. February - Holger ====

Re-apply/validate needed linker changes to the new AppLibs release. Cleaned them up compared to previous releases.

==== 2. March - Holger ====

Slowly continue with the above.

==== 6. March - Holger ====

* Start with the device profile, brad's work on arch autodetect makes it more easy.
* Deal with build breakage for endian detection.

==== 10. March - Holger ====

* Create the device.pri but I fail to include it due qmake not exposing QT_BUILD_TREE and resolving symlinks.. The qt_config.prf strategy does not work either as it is not loaded during config.tests. The other problem is that qmake resolves symlinks, this means that a "include (../../../device.pri)" will never look in the builddir for the device.pri
* Proposed a [[Devices]] page.

==== 14. March - Holger ====

* Got device profile to work in shadow build. I needed to add ln -s to add the device.pri around and load the .qmake.cache.
* Updated [[Devices/Broadcom97425]], but still blocked on on device profile.

==== 28. March- Holger ====
* Basic Device profile has been merged, rebased and extended the patches that base on it. This includes sanity checking of the compiler, -directfb configure option.
* On the course and daily rebase more build breakage got introduced and resolved on the way.
