'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0.5 was released.
*YP 5.2 M2 was released
*YP 4.0.23 is in under review.
*YP 5.0.7 is under review and passed QA
*Patch merging is continuing to flow but there are a lot of upgrades pending that were recently posted.
*We are now 3 weeks from feature freeze for 5.2
*BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY was removed.
*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.
*yocto-check-layer is now checking for SECURITY files and there are changes planned for increasing the QA checks tested for.
*We’d like to request help to process the open github pull requests for openembedded-core and bitbake:
*The yocto-testresults repository was reworked and the commits recreated to avoid problems with the size of the repository. The log files were separated to an http share here: https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/testresult-logarchives/
**https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/pulls
*These changes pose a question/challenge for the stable branches. The changes mean we should avoid breaking git mirroring.
**https://github.com/openembedded/bitbake/pulls
*As a result of this work, the reproducible builds summary page now functions much faster.
*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.
*Several performance tweaks were made for bitbake pipe handling for large amounts of log data to avoid slow ptest builds and hangs.
*The project has agreed guidance on AI submissions: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/message/6300
*A potential new “include_all” conf file directive (discussed on the openembedded-architecture list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2055 ) has no strong objections and is proceeding to proof of concept
*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/ :
*There are patches under review for the addition of configuration fragment management to bitbake. It does require the addition of support for ‘/’ characters in variable flag names (which has been requested in the past too).
**An occasional hang for non-kvm x86/x86-64 qemu images early in boot, see in multiple kernels including the recent 6.12:
***https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/28/builds/955
***https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15463
**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
**Ongoing CDN failures
**New memory allocation issues hinting we may need to scale builds back
*We are open to help developing patches to help debug issue further or other ideas on the causes and/or ways to mitigate them
*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
*Please contact TSC members if there are questions/concerns.
*The gomod mirror issue in meta-openembedded continues to give failed builds on the autobuilder.
*Gold linker support was removed from core.
*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.
