Current Dev Position: YP 4.3 M4 (Feature Freeze) Next Deadline: 2nd October 2023 YP 4.3 M4 build date
Next Team Meetings: - Bug Triage meeting Thursday September 28th 7:30 am PDT ( https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09) - Weekly Project Engineering Sync Tuesday September 26th at 8 am PDT ( https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09) <https://zoom.us/j/990892712> - Twitch - See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester Key Status/Updates: - YP 4.3 M3 rc1 was released and work is being done on the autobuilder QA email step to improve for future releases. The regression report is still being worked on. - YP 3.1.28 is under review for release - YP 4.0.13 rc2 is in QA - The numpy reproducibility issue remains and is proving extremely problematic with many failed builds. We may have to merge the debug patch into master. - The openssh ptest intermittent failure does have better logs available but we’ve yet to decode what it means: http://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20230917-2/testresults/qemuarm64-ptest/openssh.log - The changes to error for overlapping symlinks under sstate control have highlighted some issues, particularly in world build configurations however so far these have proven to be real issues that needed addressing in the configuration as the files overlapped and caused determinism issues. - The number of build failures from incoming patches remains high and is causing patch review delays and headaches for the maintainers. We are not here to debug people’s patches, we’re only meant to be catching accidental/occasional issues. - Patches for enabling wider SPDX tooling and testing in core are being proposed but there are quite a few python module dependencies. We do have good tooling/class support for python modules so the maintenance overhead of these is relatively low but the number of modules in core has increased steadily. Feedback welcome. - Since the 6.4 kernel is already EOL, we are considering a 6.5 kernel for 4.3 as the best of several difficult options. - The project is working on improving its security processes and policies, there are emails on the mailing list discussing this. Please highlight these to any parties who may be interested or have useful feedback. 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 - There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 4.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.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/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.
