Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 5.0.18 is due to be released
  • YP 6.0.1 is in QA.
  • YP 6.1 M1 is due to build next week
  • We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
  • The upgrade to gcc 16 merged
  • We are planning to improve our python subprocess calls to avoid shell=True, we would appreciate others following and doing this in their code too.
  • Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic and unchanged from last week:
    • several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
    • sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
    • siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
    • groff build race issues
    • intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
  • Qemu v11 dropped support for 32 bit hosts and we are likely to drop support for running builds on 32 bits hosts
  • The upstream kernel is looking likely to drop x32 support and if they do, we will have to drop our support too - let hem/us know if you’re using it!
  • We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto
