*YP 4.0.10 is ready to release after TSC review
*YP 4.2.1 and YP 4.0.10 have been released
*YP 4.2.1 is in QA
*M1 is due to build next week.
*M1 is approaching fast (two weeks left), so please try and get any major changes submitted soon.
*We upgraded to gcc 13 after fixes for the major issues in OE-Core were found
*Patches have been merging into master, thanks to everyone for both review feedback and iterating on patches
*New uninative releases were made to enable support on distros where they’re upgraded to gcc 13 versions.
*We need to upgrade to gcc 13 soon, this is blocking enabling Fedora 38 workers on the autobuilder as we don’t have a compatible uninative release.
*The 5.15 kernel was dropped from master in preparation for adding a new kernel version later in the development cycle.
*There are time64 patches being proposed to handle Y2038 issues on 32 bit architectures which likely need further discussion since the compiler flag changes aren’t without risk and potential side effects.
*There is discussion about changing the CVE_CHECK_IGNORE functionality, please comment in the discussion on the list if you have opinions on what we should do there.
*We’re aiming to improve documentation as we go along in this release, please keep this in mind when sending patches. Adding to the documentation as we go will make the release a lot easier.
*FILE_LAYERNAME support was added to bitbake, paving the way for layer specific override support.
*Autobuilder instability is a concern as known good builds are regularly hitting issues, particularly the “ubuntu 20.04 libgcc not found” issue which is likely python version specific but there are other intermittent issues too. As an example, three of the last nightly builds failed in succession. Due to the intermittent nature of these bugs, few people are willing to spend time on them but they mean patches are being very slow to merge. Help is very much needed but it is hard to be specific about where/what the issue is unfortunately.
*Autobuilder intermittent issues continue to be an issue. One set of intermittent issues was tracked down in glib tests and a fix was accepted upstream but other issues remain.
*A number of recent changes combined together to lower our overall patch count to the lowest we’re seen in years, it is great to see patches improving over time, albeit slowly!
