Yocto Project Weekly Status June 18th, 2024

Current Dev Position: YP 5.1 M2
Next Deadline: YP 5.1 M2 Build 8 July 2024

Next Team Meetings:

Bug Triage meeting Thursday June 13th at 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)
Weekly Engineering Sync Tuesday June 11th at 8 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09)
Twitch - See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester

Key Status/Updates:

YP 4.0.19 is ready for release.
YP 5.1 M1 is ready for release.
Patch status tags are now checked for by default. Layers which don't wish this can disable the error by removing patch-status from ERROR_QA.
Fedora 40 support should be almost complete. GCC 14 is the gift that keeps on giving, the last issue I'm aware of is in 'expect' and there are now two competing patches for that.
Some larger patches are on the list and help reviewing these would be appreciated:
- Adding SPDX 3.0 from Joshua
- Improved CVE tooling from Marta
- bitbake-setup and configuration fragments from Alexander
We had some fixes for the install-buildtools script which showed a lack of automated testing for it. Adding some would be an interesting first contribution if anyone is interested.
There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990
- Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
- Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.
Through post release upgrading our patch count reduced again and is now the lowest level since July 2008!

Ways to contribute:

As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent 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.
Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.

+**Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
-*The project is sponsoring Syslinbit to separate out our CVE tooling from the build system into a standalone tool so that it can be used on software manifests of output at a later date.
+*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.
-*There are proposals on the openembedded-architecture list to rework how do_unpack works, switching it from WORKDIR to a new variable and changing some directory layout.
+*Through post release upgrading our patch count reduced again and is now the lowest level since July 2008!
-*The introduction of UNPACKDIR has happened, maintainers should be able to improve their S=WORKDIR recipes (which should use S, not WORKDIR/UNPACKDIR) and fix the common use of WORKDIR in do_compile/do_install to access files from SRC_URI which should now be UNPACKDIR.
-*gcc 14 has patches pending thanks for Khem and Martin in particular. Merging the new gcc version is needed to generate new uninative tarballs to support Fedora 40 builds or any other distro using the new gcc version.
-*The project is in the process of testing a new way of hosting our autobuilder with plans to switch soon if successful. Our existing hardware is past end of life and showing increased hardware failures so is currently down on capacity meaning builds are taking longer than normal.
-*Mailing list changes now mean any google hosted email accounts have the mailing list From: address rewritten. This had impacted our ability to handle patches but key maintainers now have workarounds for this.
