Current Dev Position: YP 5.0 M3 - Feature Freeze Next Deadline: 19th February 2024 YP 5.0 M3 build
Next Team Meetings: - Bug Triage meeting Thursday March 7th at 7:30 am PST ( https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09) - Weekly Project Engineering Sync Tuesday March 5th 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: - We are now at feature freeze for 5.0, preparing to build M3 - YP 4.3.3 was released - YP 3.1.32 is in QA - Several changes have merged for M3: - genericarm64 machine (also added to autobuilder) - go upgrade to 1.21.7 - rust upgrade to 1.75 - change to bmaptool hosting - using ipk to generate poky-altcfg images with extra space added - 6.6.20 stable kernel update - ability to use “extratools” on autobuilder for tests (e.g. imagemagick components) - Changes still needed or under consideration - genericarm64 helper artefacts publishing changes - QA screenshot comparison - sstate permissions issue testcase - go upgrade to 1.22 (tests cleanly on oe-core now, concerns for other layers) - We are seeing some odd failures, there was a devtool selftest failure (bug 15418 filed) and also an opkg lock issue as we enabled ipk images but that hasn’t recurred (yet). The opkg lock issue has been seen in builds by Khem previously. - There is a concerning problem when trying to update the CVE database since CPE restrictions don’t always update when changed upstream. This is causing higher numbers of CVEs to be reported on the autobuilder generated charts. - There have been questions about official RISC-V support in this next release, especially since it is an LTS. We will trial qemuriscv64 support in M3 but remove it before the final LTS release as there is no sponsor for that support. 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. - 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.
