Current Dev Position: YP 5.0 M2 Next Deadline: 15th January 2024 YP 5.0 M2 build
Next Team Meetings: - Bug Triage meeting Thursday December 21st at 7:30 am PST ( https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09) - Weekly Project Engineering Sync Tuesday December 19th at 8 am PST ( https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09) <https://zoom.us/j/990892712> - Twitch - See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester Key Status/Updates: - YP 3.1.30 is due to be released - YP 4.0.15 and YP 5.0 M1 rc3 are in QA - The intermittent issues on the autobuilder continue to cause problems and along with issues in the regression reports, these lead to several rebuilds of M1. - The intermittent issues are slowing down patch testing and merging. We simply don't have enough people to fix the issues quickly enough and the people we do have are struggling. This is now slowing down stable releases too. - We have realized there are problems with the serial port code in qemu which may be resulting in some hangs or other issues. We will likely end up removing the “dumper” code (target command and monitor) to improve performance and reduce the side effects that code is currently causing. - Python3-maturin support merged, thanks Tim. - Rust updated to 1.71.1 but further updates are blocked on reproducibility issues. - Two small changes to dependencies for strace and util-linux were identified which should make a big difference to unlocking dependency chains and improving build performance, thanks Yoann. Small changes like these can make a big difference to performance overall. - An issue in configuration in one of the selftests was identified which was preventing sstate reuse. Fixing this should improve build times by removing the need to build those separate artifacts. - Regarding bugs, even if you can’t fix a bug, submitting a failing test case that can reproduce the issue significantly improves the chances it might get fixed. - There will be no project public meetings on 26th, 28th December and 2nd January. 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: 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 - There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs - 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/maintainers.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. - Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics <https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/> - We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
