'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.22 was released
*YP 5.2 M2 was released
*The new autobuilder cluster (valkyrie) is up and running and all work is being done there. The old cluster is being shut down.
*YP 5.0.7 is under review and passed QA
*The CDN and mirror tests are now working reliably and we are getting green builds again. Huge thanks to Michael Halstead for the work being done, mostly behind the scenes.
*We are now 3 weeks from feature freeze for 5.2
*Progress has been made on many of the blocking intermittent issues on the new autobuilder but many rarer issues remain.
*The project autobuilder has upgraded the controller to buildbot 4.2 which was tricky due to our custom plugin and changes to the framework used for the UI. The new UI should have the same functionality and seems faster and easier to use in places.
*Rust tests on the MIPS architecture have been disabled as nobody is using/supporting it.
*We’d like to request help to process the open github pull requests for openembedded-core and bitbake:
*Toaster test suite improvements have merged but more work really needs to be done there to improve some of the test conditions.
**https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/pulls
*We have a new command line tool to help with the SWAT, thanks to Mathieu for putting that together. https://git.yoctoproject.org/swat-tools/
**https://github.com/openembedded/bitbake/pulls
*The UKI (Unified Kernel Images) series finally merged with tests, which will help ensure the code keeps working in the future.
*Having these open doesn’t look good for the projects and we can’t disable them, some have been open for a long time. We did already clean up the poky pull requests.
*We’re seeing a pattern of people submitting patches to master when they’ve only tested them against older releases. In several cases the issue wasn’t even present there. Please don’t do this, it wastes a lot of time. If you see the issue against an older release, please make that clear.
*The project has agreed guidance on AI submissions: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/message/6300
*For 5.2 it would be helpful to have rough development plans for areas of the project if anyone is able to help document a rough roadmap/plan for them. The following areas are known to be being or need working on:
*There are multiple occasional but annoying autobuilder failures we could do with help debugging/fixing, summarized by https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/ :
**Autobuilder
**An occasional hang for non-kvm x86/x86-64 qemu images early in boot, see in multiple kernels including the recent 6.12:
**Binary Distro
***https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/28/builds/955
**Bitbake config fragments
***https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15463
**Bitbake setup process/tooling
**dnf failures in where ssh appears to fail, usually on qemumips but also seen on qemuarm: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13674
**GUI screen shot QA test
**Ongoing CDN failures
**IDE Plugin development
**New memory allocation issues hinting we may need to scale builds back
**Layer Index
*We are open to help developing patches to help debug issue further or other ideas on the causes and/or ways to mitigate them
**Patchtest
*The Linux Foundation published information on navigating global regulations and sanctions: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/navigating-global-regulations-and-open-source-us-ofac-sanctions
**Security Tooling
*Please contact TSC members if there are questions/concerns.
**Swatbot
*The gomod mirror issue in meta-openembedded continues to give failed builds on the autobuilder.
**Toaster
*Gold linker support was removed from core.
*If there are other areas we should have plans for, please let us know.
*Linux 6.6 was removed so we now just have the 6.12 kernel we plan to release YP 5.2 with.
*The performance metric charts were improved to be able to show both commit based and time based data, allowing performance changes to be isolated more easily.
*The triage team decided to clear out the “newcomer” bugs in bugzilla since the remaining ones were likely too hard without specialist knowledge. We’d love to see new/realist newcomer bugs being added.
*The 5.2 development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing
*We need to continue to develop this, thanks to all who have contributed so far!

Yocto Project Weekly Status Feb. 11th, 2025

Current Dev Position: YP 5.2 M3
Next Deadline: YP 5.2 M3 Build date 2025-03-03

Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:

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 is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarball and SDK). We’d love assistance in moving this forward and getting some kind of upstream feature merged to make this easier: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260
  • 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 5.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.2_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.
