*Patches to master are continuing to merge including a large number of version upgrades this week.
*Git’s default branch choice could potentially change in the future and we’re seeing service providers like github change policy too. To react to this variability the project really needs to start encoding the branch name used in SRC_URI rather than having a default of master. OE-Core has been converted and there is a script ( scripts/contrib/convert-srcuri.py) to help with conversions. Bitbake will start warning where this is unset soon (patch in master-next).
*We have 1,288 patches in OE-Core, a third of those are marked as “Pending”. Help in determining what to do with those would be most welcome. Richard cleaned up and submitted a batch of 12 to the libtool project this week as an example of what can be done. Several gcc patches could be dropped or merged too.
*Github has announced that git protocol support will be dropped as of January. We use this in a number of our SRC_URIs. This has been discussed on the architecture list and we have a plan to warn (and later error) on problematic urls and magically map to the correct urls within bitbake. The latter change is easily backported to older bitbake releases and will allow older branches to continue to function without invasive changes. The conversion script mentioned above can also convert github urls.
*Intermittent issues continue to rise, particularly with some seemingly network related gremlin somewhere. Help is very much welcome on these issues. 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
*We have seen a drop in the number of patches in “Pending” state, partly thanks to work from Richard to send libtool and gcc patches upstream or otherwise clean them up. Others are also stepping forward to try and reduce the number of patches in Pending state, help would be much appreciated as spread over a number of people this could be quickly handled and reduced.
