Re: Lightning talk about ISAR

[Henning Schild <henning.schild@siemens.com>]

We also have a bunch of commits for reproducible builds, i am afraid
still (upcoming).

I carry them as "henning/staging10"
https://github.com/henning-schild-work/isar/tree/henning/staging10
Yes ... two digit open "MRs" ...

Might be worth mentioning because "reproducible builds" will be a
keynote talk on that event.

OT

i stopped all rebasing and pinging because we need that sstate to speed
up and get all those open MRs merged. Some of them introduce tests and
i decided to hold them back after avocado. Will be happy to re-send
once sstate is in and we gain some much needed speed.
