Key Status/Updates:

*       YP 3.4 M2 was released
*       YP 3.3.2 has been through QA and is pending release approval
*       YP 3.1.10 is in QA
*       OE-Core has moved to the new override syntax and is now only
compatible with the honister release series. Other layers will need to
migrate to the new syntax to work with it. There is documentation about
handling migration to the new syntax in the migration section of the manual:

 
<http://docs.yoctoproject.org/migration-guides/migration-3.4.html#override-s
yntax-changes>
http://docs.yoctoproject.org/migration-guides/migration-3.4.html#override-sy
ntax-changes

*       The new override syntax is now also supported by older releases of
bitbake on the 1.50, 1.48 and 1.46 branches, which mean this applies to
dunfell. It will be part of the 3.1.11 release.
*       There is a fix to bitbake's datastore pending which may cause a
variable only set with conditional appends to change value from "" to None.
DRIDRIVERS in the mesa recipe was the only example found in OE-Core and it
is hoped this issue is rare. The fix is important due to interaction issues
with other variables in some other use cases and this makes things
consistent.
*       The prserv rewrite is making progress but still has some issues with
python asyncio.
*       Intermittent issues are ongoing, particularly ptest ones. Help is
very much welcome on these issues. You can see the list of failures we're
continuing to see by searching for the "AB-INT" tag in bugzilla:
<https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT>
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT
*       The multiconfig changes in bitbake continue to cause problems, we
still need simpler test cases to reproduce issues rather than huge builds.
The existing patches seem to fix some workloads and break others and current
test cases are very slow to work with.

 

Ways to contribute:

*       There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*       There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.4. See:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.4_Unassigned_Enha
ncements.2FBugs>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.4_Unassigned_Enhan
cements.2FBugs
*       We'd welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the
list at:
<http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/mai
ntainers.inc>
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/main
tainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core
mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to "Unassigned" soon to
help facilitate this.
