Key Status/Updates: YP 2.5 M1 rc3 is out of QA and should be released imminently. There were some minor issues but we’ll address these as part of M2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW03_-_2018-1-18-_Full_Test_Cycle_-_2.5_M1_rc3 and see: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v2.5_Status#Milestone_1_-_Target_Dec._15.2C_2017 With a round of security released fixes likely to land shortly, we’ll likely wait for these before we roll M2. The Automatic Upgrade Helper (AUH) ran, now based on devtool functionality and testing against a wider set of architectures and build options. This looks likely to easy recipe maintenance and increase productivity for people and I’d like to thank Alex for his work on this. There is much it could do better but it is continuing to evolve and become easier to use which is great to see. The AUH emails have triggered a good batch of recipe upgrades. QEMU was also upgraded (which can often cause problems). I sent out a separate summary of changes which are happening to the Autobuilder, people on the SWAT team need to be especially aware of this http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-architecture/2018-January/000694.html The long queued python recipe changes including its manifest have landed. We tested this as far as we could in core and I know there is some fall out in other layers, help and patience to work through the issues is appreciated. Patches pending against the python recipes will need to be rebased and resent. There have been some significant changes to cmake, ninja and meson and meson is now the default for some recipes. There were some significant gettext cleanups.

Planned upcoming dot releases: YP 2.4.2 (Rocko) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches are ready. YP 2.3.4 (Pyro) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches are ready. YP 2.2.3 (Morty) rc1 is in QA, see https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.2_QA_Status. This will not contain the spectre/meltdown patches as they’re not ready yet.

Key YP 2.5 Dates are: YP 2.5 M2 cut off is past, it should be built as soon as a decision on the spectre/meltdown patches is made. YP 2.5 M2 release of 1/26/18 YP 2.5 M3 cut off of 2/19/18 YP 2.5 M3 release of 3/2/18 YP 2.5 M4 cut off of 4/2/18 YP 2.5 M4 release of 4/27/18

Tracking Metrics: WDD 2657 (last week 2672) (https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/charts/combo.html)

These releases do not contain spectre/meltdown patches/fixes as those are still being worked on and haven’t merged yet. • We are mostly up to date with patch queues although there are some bigger series which are still being tested/reviewed and are still pending • Due to testing problems with 2.5 M1 rc3, it is still undergoing QA testing and is 90% complete. We are continuing to have some QA transition/infrastructure issues. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.5_QA_Status. • A separate update on the spectre/meltdown status and the project has been sent out to the oe-core mailing list.
