Next Team Meetings: * Bug Triage meeting Thursday January 5th 7:30 am PDT ( <https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09> https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09) * Weekly Project Engineering Sync Tuesday January 3rd at 8 am PDT ( <https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09> https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09 <https://zoom.us/j/990892712> ) * Twitch - See <https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester> https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester Key Status/Updates: * YP 4.2 M1 and YP 4.0.6 were released. * Builds on the autobuilder are problematic at present due to connection losses with the controller machine. We understand the cause and will be migrating the controller to a new server/location in the next maintenance window to address this. * A number of invasive bitbake changes have merged including a change to add threading to bitbake's server/cooker. This will allow us to attempt to resolve various UI/server hang related open bugs and to improve the user experience, e.g. Ctrl+C handling. If people do see issues with hangs, please report them and include the tail end of the bitbake-cookerdaemon.log file. * The bitbake cache changes to optionally include more hash debugging information did merge. This currently triggers only for the bitbake -S operations but once that mode is triggered for memory resident bitbake, it is "sticky" and will remain set until it unloads. We have seen some OOM issues on autobuilder workers which may be related to this, more debugging is needed to check on bitbake's memory usage. * Automatic bitbake function library dependency code has also merged and is active. This should let us migrate class code to become library code for performance improvements. * A bug in the layer.conf variable changes was identified which was causing re-parsing when it wasn't necessary. A fix has been merged to address that. * The OE TSC decided in favour of adding export flag expansion despite the performance impact so that patch will be queued. * We merged a number of neat rust improvements which add on target cargo support and added automated QA tests for this functionality so we can ensure it continues to work and doesn't regress. Thanks Alex Kiernan, we hope to see more series like this one! * CVE levels in master have improved but still need a little work * The autobuilder maintenance window is moving from Friday to Monday. * We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated. Ways to contribute: * As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: patchtest, layerindex, devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components! * 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 4.2. See: <https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_Unassigned_Enha ncements.2FBugs> https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.2_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. * Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent 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. * Help us resolve CVE issues: <https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/> CVE metrics YP 4.2 Milestone Dates: * YP 4.2 M1 is released * YP 4.2 M2 build date 2023/01/23 * YP 4.2 M2 Release date 2023/02/03 * YP 4.2 M3 build date 2023/02/20 * YP 4.2 M3 Release date 2023/03/03 * YP 4.2 M4 build date 2023/04/03 * YP 4.2 M4 Release date 2023/04/28 Upcoming dot releases: * YP 4.0.6 is released * YP 4.1.2 build date 2023/01/09 * YP 4.1.2 Release date 2023/01/20 * YP 3.1.22 build date 2023/01/16 * YP 3.1.22 Release date 2023/01/27 * YP 4.0.7 build date 2023/01/30 * YP 4.0.7 Release date 2023/02/10 * YP 3.1.23 build date 2023/02/13 * YP 3.1.23 Release date 2023/02/24 * YP 4.0.8 build date 2023/02/27 * YP 4.0.8 Release date 2023/03/10 * YP 4.1.3 build date 2023/03/06 * YP 4.1.3 Release date 2023/03/17 * YP 3.1.24 build date 2023/03/20 * YP 3.1.24 Release date 2023/03/31 * YP 4.0.9 build date 2023/04/10 * YP 4.0.9 Release date 2023/04/21 * YP 4.1.4 build date 2023/05/01 * YP 4.1.4 Release date 2023/05/13 * YP 3.1.25 build date 2023/05/08 * YP 3.1.25 Release date 2023/05/19 * YP 4.0.10 build date 2023/05/15 * YP 4.0.10 Release date 2023/05/26 Tracking Metrics: * WDD 2457 (last week 2452) ( <https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/charts/combo.html> https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/charts/combo.html) * OE-Core/Poky Patch Metrics * Total patches found: 1189 (last week 1188) * Patches in the Pending State: 282 (24%) [last week 282 (24%)] * <https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/> https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/ The Yocto Project's technical governance is through its Technical Steering Committee, more information is available at: <https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TSC> https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TSC The Status reports are now stored on the wiki at: <https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Weekly_Status> https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Weekly_Status [If anyone has suggestions for other information you'd like to see on this weekly status update, let us know!] Thanks, Stephen K.
