Key Status/Updates:

*       We are now close to building YP 3.3 rc1 for the final release. That
build may happen later today if three are no more urgent pending changes.
The biggest blockers on release may be the changelog/release notes and
migration guide as those have not been started yet.
*       YP 3.2.3 was released.
*       We did merge a change to oeqa/runqemu to allow the qemu images to be
run from a tmpfs. This should mean writes aren't held up in the IO queue
which we believe may have been a cause of the intermittent failures.
Unfortunately we can't use cgroups as the versions on most of the
autobuilder workers isn't recent enough for IO priorities, even ignoring the
permission issues so this tmpfs solution seemed like the best option and was
not very invasive to implement. It does mean we now see the "qemu didn't
start in 120s" error instead much more regularly if the copy into tmpfs is
locked.
*       There are a number of patches queued in master-next but most are
version upgrades which will wait for 3.4 to open for development.
*       Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur and are now at a
record high level. 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

We are working to identify the load pattern on the infrastructure that seems
to trigger these.

 

Ways to contribute:

*       There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project:

*       There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.3. See:

*       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.
