Tarball Doc process Right now tarball docs are frozen shortly before a release. The tarball never gets updated beyond that during subsequent documentation development. However, website docs are periodically updated as changes are made during the next development cycle. We need a documentation process where the tarball docs are updated along with the website docs. Perhaps releasing and building a separate documentation tarball is an answer... This whole scheme needs thought about and something implemented. 1 Done From scratch ScottR M1, Sprint C - Just waiting for yocto-docs repo to be merged.

Additions to build stats 1 Yes Done Beth M3, Sprint A M3, Sprint A. pull request on 8/2/11
Publish Shared State Publish the shared state information. 2 Risky Review Beth M3, Sprint A M3, Sprint A if Richard confirms some answers to questions
build statistics reporting As someone interested in how long it takes to build different images on different hardware configurations and other assorted build metrics, I would like a web based service, that takes output generated by an extended buildstats.bbclass and stores it, to compare against different machines. The end result should be a way to visualize the collected data. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Buildbot_Autobuilder_Discussions 2 Risky M3, Sprint A Beth/Jay M3, Sprint A M3, Sprint A - discussions posted on Wiki
BSP config cleanup BSP config cleanup/refactoring. Update to new kernel rev. Investigate Kconfig alignment 1 Yes Done Bruce M3, Sprint A Owner = Bruce, moved from M2, 4th Sprint
Ongoing kernel maintenance There should be a task spread out over the whole release, say 10% of one person\'s time (just a guess), for monitoring LKML and Linus\' master branch, and/or relevant lists for patches relevant to the BSPs we maintain. We also need to figure out if Bruce needs help with the management of the base branches e.g. re-enabling features after kernel uprevs, moving feature tags forward, etc. 1 Yes Done Bruce M3, Sprint A Owner = Bruce, moved from M2 4th Sprint. 7/18/11: in progress, we won't complete this until M3/M4, when the 3.0 kernel is made available. This is on-track. The M2 version of this exists, and it has been cloned to M3. M3 target met
Kernel Tools Implement plan for kernel tools 2 Risky Dev Bruce M3, Sprint A Owner = Bruce, moved from M2, 4th Sprint, optional, so putting it after the more defined items like upreving the kernel
BSP kernel config audit Audit kernel configs for the various BSPS. Should not be limited to just kernel config options -- it should also include discussion of overall strategies for defining and managing base branches, feature topic branches, config features, etc, and should result in not only the current kernels being changed to match, but also BKMs being published somewhere, probably in the kernel manual. 1 Yes Done Bruce M3, Sprint A Owner = Bruce, M1, 4th Sprint, first level audit is done in M1
use cases BSP config streamlining, building the kernel standalone, yoctoization, meta data sharing 1 Risky Dev Bruce M3, Sprint A Owner = Bruce, moved from M3, 1st Sprint, not code based, can be done after M3, risky for M3
inter-core comms investigate/report/merge intercore communication methods (mcapi, dsplink,etc). extend as appropriate 2 Yes Done Bruce M3, Sprint A Owner = Bruce, moved from M2, Sprint C, speculative
kernel bloat - development target = boot a minimal image in < 8M - development complete 1 Risky Dev Darren M3, Sprint A moved from M2, Sprint D, 7/11/11: image size has been significantly reduced, trying to track down 20M qemu memory requirement
Fast boot time 2 second boot time target 1 Risky Dev Darren M3, Sprint A M3, Sprint A - analysis will be complete to show where slowdown is coming from (BIOS or elsewhere); the earliest we can get a system that can use BLDK is August 1st, so getting to the 2s target in 1.1 is not likely. Design done. Needs someone to sign off
Build Yocto behind firewall - implementation 2 Risky Dev Darren/Joshua Darren M3, Sprint A Moved from M2

Multi-lib - 5 Add support to bitbake to pass BBEXTEND parameters from options like bitbake -b where filenames are specified on the command line 2 Yes with risk Done Ke Richard M3, Sprint A 1 week, small, risky
Multi-lib - 7 Investigate better TARGET_VENDOR handling for config.sub. Currently we can only have ARCH-VENDOR-linux where VENDOR cannot contain \"-\" but it might be possible to relax that constraint [not high priority]. 2 Yes with risk Dev Ke Richard M3, Sprint A Probably just half a day\'s work, small, risky
Multi-lib - 4 Add support to standard opkg backend to allow parallel install of multilib variant packages 1 Yes Done Lianhao Richard M3, Sprint A 1 week, moved from M2, depending on multi-lib 8 &9
Image Creator: HOB performance enhancement HOB performance enhancement 1 Yes Done Liping Jessica M3, Sprint A moved from M2, Sprint B, Liping can\'t work on that now since Josh will do some changes on hob, but the demo already sent to Josh

Multi-lib - 10 Reconsolidate multilib + multilibcross class differences 1 Yes Done Richard Richard M3, Sprint A
Upstream our patches - phase 3 Another round of updates is complete 1 Yes on-going Saul M3, Sprint A M3, Sprint A, 2011.7.18: we got 6 accepted, 2 are pending as the repos are not migrated to yoctoprojec.org, 1 is still pending because it needs more work
Live images make live images their own image type 2 Risky Done Saul Richard M3, Sprint A moved from M2, Sprint B
x32 - implementation layer to support toolchain, libc, and kernel - x32 is complete 2 Yes Done Saul (Nitin) M3, Sprint A Moved from M2, Sprint D, working without multi-lib. Done, pending merge.
btrfs Kernel enabling 2 Risky Dev Saul (Nitin) M3, Sprint A image creations Done, kernel enabling waiting for kernel upgrade
Demo Need to determine what we will do for demo and find an owner 1 Yes Done Song Song M3, Sprint A Moved from M2, Sprint D - The Yocto Advocacy team is discussing. Yocto PM will monitor to see what engineering work is needed. (impact team deliverable)
Alpha Begin an alpha program after the stabilization period for M3. 1 Yes Done Song M3, Sprint A M3, Sprint A, plan in place
Tracing: Systemtap usability in Yocto Right now, there are instructions on the wiki on how to configure and use Systemtap with Yocto. While straightforward, they are tedious and unlikely to be useful to most people pressed for time. We need to make it easier to use - in addition to documentation/HOWTO tasks listed elsewhere on this page, we need to make it usable \'out of the box\' (i.e. outside of ADT) e.g. all paths and configuration handled via script or something similar 2 Risky Accept Tom M3, Sprint A moved from M2, Sprint D
Tracing: perf trace scripting support Basically this means allowing perf to be built with the Perl and Python bindings, which turned out to be a headache last time. 2 Risky Dev (50%) Tom M3, Sprint A Moved from M2, Sprint B,

Yocto Project Development Guide This manual would be an over-arching document that frames the complete development cycle within Yocto Project. The idea here is that the document would be an umbrella document that spawned and referenced subsequent documents. The organization would be the first chapter overviews the major development pieces such as recipe creation, building, debugging, publishing, fail-safing, back-door hook creation, etc. This manual will also include migration information. Scoping would be about two weeks and length would probably be about 40 pages. Overall development time will likely take up to the release given my experience on the creation of the ADT manual (there is no uninterrupted time). Note: This document will include documentation on how to use multiple versions of a library (with clutter as the example library). 1 WIP ScottR M4 On track
Release Scripts Create Release Scripts that can be used for both a weekly release and for Yocto 1.1 release to be run by autobuilder (a week. testing on this may take longer) 1 Yes Dev Beth Saul M4 Moved from M2 Sprint A, will be done along with infrastructure upgrade
Open-source Newbie Information This information will be for developers new to open-source. These people do not know what IRC means. Targeted for developers coming from a non-open-source environment. I think the best place for this information would be the website. I haven\'t looked yet but I suspect information already exists on the web. For Yocto it will be a matter of collecting the best and most useful information, organizing it and properly referencing/leveraging it. 1 Done ScottR M4 M4, this is part of the Yocto Development Guide.
Performance Improvements - documentation f) Document performance best practices (e.g. no premempt in kernel, use server kernel on ubuntu) 2 WIP Saul/ScottR M4 moved from M2, Sprint C
