While raw videos of the previous Debconf are available on:

We, at IRILL, are glad to provide a nice HTML5 interface (and flash if HTML5 videos are not available) to browse all the videos of Debconf 13:

For those who are at Debconf, they are for sell at the Debconf front desk from 4 to 6 and will be probably available for sell on enventelibre after the event.

As announcement on debian-devel-announce, I just uploaded java-common version 0.49. This version changes the default version of OpenJDK to version 7.

That means that packages depending on default-jdk/default-jre will be now built with OpenJDK 7 (instead of the 6) and also that the java/javac commands will be providing Java 7.
I also used the opportunity of this upload to update the Java policy.

In parallel of my work on the LLVM Debian/Ubuntu nightly packages, I uploaded a couple months ago the same packages for the stable releases of the LLVM toolchain. By toolchain, this means LLVM + Clang + Clang extra tools + compiler-rt + polly + LLDB.
Previously, they were packaged as separate source packages. Making the maintenance harder and, especially, limiting the packaging of LLDB and polly.

Currently, we have in the archive:

• LLVM toolchain 3.2 (note that LLDB is disabled from this release).

• LLVM toolchain 3.3

• LLVM toolchain snapshot (3.4)

For the 3.2 release, I am planning to focus on RC bug fixes.
The 3.3 and snapshot releases will get the feature improvements.
llvm-default will point to the 3.3 release once it builds on all architectures and it reached testing aka Jessie (probably during summer).

After setting an automatic code coverage tool, I just plugged an automatic scan-build on the LLVM toolchain trunk:

http://buildd-clang.debian.net/scan-build/

Note that:

• polly is currently not analyzed. I had to disable the build until the new version of cloog is available.

• compiler-rt is not analyzed because it does not respect the CC/CXX argument to use the clang built locally [1]. Not sure it is a bug here.

This work is done through the Debian/LLVM jenkins instance.
The report is updated twice a day.
The scan-build/clang used to produce the report is the one published on http://llvm.org/apt/. That means that a new feature/fix done on scan-build will appear only about a day after on report. As a side effect, it tests automatically the packages distributed on llvm.org/apt/.

For a project of this size, the number of reported errors / warnings is pretty low. At time of writing, only 329 errors are reported and many of them are in generated code (AttrDump.inc and LLDBWrapPython.cpp for example) or in unit tests.
