*We’re planning to take a couple of further changes (pseudo fix, apt signing minus the test and the unwind sdl workaround) and then call the first release candidate build good.
*We were able to isolate one parsing process lockup which ideally we’d fix in the release but it is unclear if the fixes will be ready.
*There were a number of good fixes for memory resident bitbake this week and also some interesting and useful fixes for the bitbake parsing process which should avoid lockups in the error case. The hope is these should avoid some of the intermittent issues we’ve been seeing on the autobuilder.
*An issue with make 4.2.1 on some distros remains, often causing hangs in kernel and perl builds in particular. Help in developing a workaround for this (a make buildtools tarball?) would be appreciated.
