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 April 11th at 7:30 am PST ( https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09) - Weekly Project Engineering Sync Tuesday April 9th 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 4.3.4 is due to be released. - YP 5.0 rc1 is now due to build when ready. - All dunfell patches should have been sent now in preparation for an April 15 build. This will be the last release of dunfell. - For 5.0, we are still hoping to switch the hash equivalence server before running the release build but that is the only remaining pending change. We do also still need documentation work for the release - A new yocto-status <https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto-status/topics> mailing list has been created where we plan to send just the project weekly status reports and any other suitable updates on the project. This should help those who found the traffic of the other mailing lists too much. - A yocto-patches <https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto-patches/topics> mailing list has been setup and patches that used to go to the yocto@ list will be migrating over to this new list, making yocto@ a bit more friendly for questions and discussions. Information in layers is being updated to reflect this. - We received some disappointing feedback from a key organization in the RISC-V ecosystem that the Yocto Project was not important and not worth funding. We will take this feedback into account. - The “Binary Distro” work is now well underway and there are PR Server passthrough patches under review. The wiki page <https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Binary_Distro_Prototype#Policies_and_Processes> has had a number of policy/process proposals documented, at least as a first pass. Help is welcome to help improve these, or highlight where further documentation is needed. - We continue to watch the NIST NVD (CVE database) situation, the recent update didn’t clarify much. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a clear path forward as yet but using data directly from MITRE may help give partial information. These issues are making it hard to know what to include in the 5.0 release as it isn’t clear which changes are security related. 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.
