[U-Boot] [ANN] U-Boot v2016.09-rc2 released

[Tom Rini]

Hey all,

It's release day and v2016.09-rc2 is out now.  It's a week late as I wanted a few more things in and then next thing I knew it was Thursday, so I just pushed it out.  I've updated git and the tarballs are also up now.  A short list of changes to come in now are:
- More and various SoC and architecture updates
- Various DM updates and conversions
- PSCI updates
- MAKEALL is gone, buildman is for use by all
- We now have xtensa support
- DT overlays

A non-code change is that now I have Jenkins setup to automatically poll
my WIP branches and run test/py/test.py on a few real boards along with
sandbox.  I still have some more configuring and cabling to do, and a
few more boards I can get setup.

If you notice any problems with the release, please speak out and thanks
all!

Hi Tom,

> A non-code change is that now I have Jenkins setup to automatically

Jenkins - brrr.... I've had a really hard time with this "peculiar"
piece of SW.

Run away from it if you still can....

I've switched to buildbot a few months ago and that was _REALLY_ good
decision.

A few pros:
- It is written in python, so if I need to extend it, then I write code
  (not write in groovy) and use SCM to store the changes
- It's web interface is far more readable than Jenkins (this is what
  non-tech people say)
- It is smaller project, with things which are really needed.

Great :-)

Do you have any exynos board connected to the setup?

I don't atm.  Can they be setup such that they either boot from FAT or a
peripheral (non-UART tho) load?  I'm going to add an i.MX6 platform next
since I know it will let me do a USB load if I don't have the SD card in
and then I need to investigate how FEL mode works exactly on allwinner.

I have no experience with jenkins, but plan a tbot integration
for it ... Uh... why is it so bad?

I use buildbot too on my raspberry pi in conjunction with tbot.
See for an example [1] (currently some boards not really working, I have
to look at it ...)

I failed to integrate for example some images tbot creates at the end,
also results from test/py into buildbot ... so I created a tbot event
backend, which writes some results into a mySQL database and made a
really simple php script ... see [2]

Ah, yes ... and at the end buildbot was the reason why I started
with tbot (and writting it in python).
