Current Dev Position: YP 3.2 M4 Next Deadline: YP 3.2 M4 Feature Freeze - Now
Next Team Meetings: * Bug Triage meeting Thursday Sept. 24th at 7:30am PDT ( <https://zoom.us/j/454367603> https://zoom.us/j/454367603) * Monthly Project Meeting Tuesday Oct. 6th at 8am PDT ( <https://zoom.us/j/990892712> https://zoom.us/j/990892712) * Weekly Engineering Sync Tuesday Sept. 23th at 8am PDT ( <https://zoom.us/j/990892712> https://zoom.us/j/990892712) * Twitch - See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester Key Status/Updates: * M3 rc1 has been built and been through QA. Unfortunately beaglebone fails to boot so we'll have to go to an rc2. There were 4 other issues reported by QA too (3 ptest regressions and a bitbake UI issue). * We plan to build 3.1.3 imminently * The sphinx documentation transition has merged. There is still work needed to clean up various links and other conversion glitches as well as areas the manual needs to be brought up to date. Any help much appreciated. Big thanks to Nico for driving this! * The new documentation can be seen at <http://docs.yoctoproject.org/> https://docs.yoctoproject.org/, * One significant potential cause for autobuilder timeout issues has been identified, potentially the journal on ext4 filesystems was causing IO prioritisation to fail as the journal only runs with one IO level. We've modified the journal options on autobuilder workers to be "writeback" to avoid this. This should reduce autobuilder bitbake timeout issues. * Two of the three significant autobuilder issues mentioned last week remain: * qemumips fails with systemd with 256MB memory, it needs 512MB. If we enable 512MB, we see random hangs. Unless someone can debug and sort the qemu memory issues, we may end up disabling core-image-sato-sdk and core-image-full-cmdline for qemumips+systemd * networking with qemu images appears to glitch at times (particularly slower targets such as ltp and qemumips), the session stalls with "no route to host". We need better serial interrogation to determine the state of qemu when this happens, it's unclear if qemu/kernel hangs, networking fails or what is breaking. Help to add this extra debugging would be much appreciated. * There are new autobuilder issues this week, a pseudo bug appears to be being exposed as well as new intermittent issues, as yet not looked into. * We continue to struggle with a number of autobuilder intermittent bugs. 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> https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT Help with any of these would be much appreciated, unfortunately it is proving hard to find anyone interested in helping figure these out and they significantly hamper our testing. Ways to contribute: * There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: <https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers> https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers * There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.2. See: <https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_Unassigned_Enha ncements.2FBugs> https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_Unassigned_Enhan cements.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/mai ntainers.inc> http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/main tainers.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.
