These can be seen here: <https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs> https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs * There are ongoing discussions on a few key topics which are summarized here for convenience. Please contribute if you have an interest in these areas: * Running the testsuites for glibc/binutils/gcc * Moving lsb to its own layer * Removing poky-lsb in favour of some configuration fragments * Reproducibility * Minimizing python2 dependencies * Configuration of init systems * Changing poky's init system default to systemd is running into a large number of testing failures on the autobuilder which puts that change at risk. * The autobuilder performance problem when stopping builds has been tracked down and fixed. The controller was also upgraded for some performance improvements (thanks Michael). * There are patches available which enable runqueue optimisations based on output comparisons of tasks. This removes the need to run later tasks if the output is unchanged and is based upon the previous hash equivalence server work. This feature should be a significant win for the users and is now working to a level where we'll likely make this a key feature of the next release.
