Current Dev Position: YP 5.0 M4 - Final Release Next Deadline: 1st April 2024 YP 5.0 M4 build
Next Team Meetings: - Bug Triage meeting Thursday March 28th at 7:30 am PST ( https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09) - Weekly Project Engineering Sync Tuesday March 26th 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 5.0 M3 has been released. - YP 4.0.17 is under review and due for release. - Steve is taking patches for Dunfell until around April 8 in preparation for an April 15 build. This will be the last release of dunfell. - There was a regression on beaglebone in 5.0 M3 where X11 wasn’t working but this has been fixed in master ready for the release. - A key worry now is the documentation for the release, especially given it is an LTS. There are emails on the docs list about this, help is much appreciated. - For M4, we are still hoping to transition to a different public hash equivalence server before release. We have stopped taking general point release upgrades to recipes unless there is a security or other key reason to take them. The key remaining fix needed before building is for the opkg lock issue. - The opkg lock issue is now understood but the best fix is still under discussion/ development. - One set of the problematic autobuilder failures was tracked down to a queued but unmerged bitbake patch. There are other intermittent issues which still need to be root caused, at least one failure was also due to system load issues. - We continue to watch the NIST NVD (CVE database) issue and await further information about what the future holds there (https://nvd.nist.gov/ - “You will temporarily see delays in analysis efforts during this transition”) 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.
