Key Status/Updates:

·        Master has started taking patches for 2.5. We are struggling with a 
raft of different build failures that keep occurring on the autobuilders. 
Currently open issues are:

o   qemux86-64 appears to have an early boot hang (bug 12301)

o   ftp urls are having proxy/firewall issues

o   oe-selftest log duplication causes failures (or maybe failures cause 
duplicate logging, hard to tell) (bug 12127)

o   qemuppc has random hangs (had hoped rng fix would help but hasn’t)

o   nfs inode count for the sstate share appears to break periodically causing 
the disk monitor to halt the builds (bug 12267)

o   a perf build race (bug 12302)

o   also bugs 12303 and 12304 (not gotten to look into these yet)

·        Until we resolve these issues, patches are going to be slow to merge. 
This also blocks several core developers from doing *any* feature work at this 
point in time (e.g. layer setup tool is on hold, again).

·        We plan to drop the remaining ftp urls from OE-Core as most of the 
remaining ftp servers are likely being decommissioned anyway (e.g. see 
https://ftp.gnu.org)

·        ross/mut is known to cause further oe-selftest and nightly-qa-target 
failures so patches there are on hold whilst we try and further isolate which 
patches are causing these.

·        We can only continue to stress that unless others step up and help to 
try and root cause these issues, things will stall with the project.
