Current Dev Position: YP 5.0 M2
Next Deadline: 15th January 2024 YP 5.0 M2 build
Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.3.2 passed QA and is in review.
- YP 5.0 M2 is due to build this week
- The inherit_defer work highlighted a bug in EXPORT_FUNCTIONS handling. This was fixed but does change behavior in some real world usages of the function where the incorrect behavior was being relied upon.
- EXPORT_FUNCTIONS is defined as mapping to those ‘namespaced’ functions only if there isn’t a real definition of that function.
- The inherit_defer changes will likely merge into M2.
- There has been at least one serial issue that reappeared with the 6.6 kernel on the autobuilder unfortunately.
- A bug was fixed in the bitbake –runall option where it wasn’t building as much as it should have.
- The recipe reporting system on the layer index is now functional again, thanks Tim!

Yocto Project Weekly Status January 9th, 2024
Current Dev Position: YP 5.0 M2
Next Deadline: 15th January 2024 YP 5.0 M2 build
Next Team Meetings:
- Bug Triage meeting Thursday January 11th at 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)

Key Status/Updates:
- YP 3.1.30, 4.0.15 and 5.0 M1 were released
- YP 4.3.2 is in QA
- Rust was upgraded from 1.71.1 to 1.74.1 in master. 1.75 has reproducibility issues.
- We were able to remove all exclusions on reproducibility in OE-Core and it is once again 100% reproducible.
- The sstate-cache-management script was rewritten in python. It is possible there are regressions compared to the previous version, we’ll have to fix them as they’re identified.
- A workaround for the long standing autobuilder failures on debian11 and ubuntu 18.04 was identified by preloading libgcc. This is now applied for python 3.8 and 3.9 versions within bitbake.
- We have switched to the 6.6 linux kernel
- There are patches proposing new “inherit_defer” syntax for bitbake to handle conditional inherits in a way more in keeping with user expectations. Please see the discussion on the openembedded-architecture list.
- Functions related to signature/hash debugging had an API change resulting in a need to update bitbake and OE-Core together to allow the functionality to be improved.
- Improvements to the CDN tests and signature debugging were merged which improve usability and also address intermittent autobuilder failures
- Regarding bugs, even if you can’t fix a bug, submitting a failing test case that can reproduce the issue significantly improves the chances it might get fixed.
