*YP 6.0 M2 has been released.
*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
*YP 4.0.34 is due to be released.
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
*YP 5.3.3 is in review after QA.
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
*YP 6.0 M3 is the feature freeze for 6.0 which is our next LTS.
*We have converted over to sbom-cve-check and dropped cve-check. This has caused a significant increase in CVEs reported, these are being triaged.
*YP 6.0 M3 is now due to build however there are many key changes needed still missing.
*Issues with pending work needed:
**Issues still pending:
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta related to openat2()
**Deprecation of ltp (upstream dropped runltp and mandate kirk)
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
**How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
**Meta-oe cve layer filtering under new tooling (metrics script tweak?)
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
**Reprodicubility issues with strace/apr-util after gnulib macro changes (patches in testing)
**SBOM/cve-check changes.
*There was disruption to git services last week due to scraping attacks against the servers. This resulted in connection issues whilst those were mitigated, particularly the git protocol access.
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (memory corruption in pseudo?) (#16078)
git:// protocol access to git.yoctoproject.org and git.openembeded.org is deprecated and going forward https:// URLs should be used to access git repositories. We are aiming to discontinue git protocol use.
*Issues that are mostly known quantities still needing work:
*The recent wic changes will need wic support files to be placed in files/wic within layers going forwards.
**x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic, including the emergence of new issues (newer kernel version?). We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds
*The final kirkstone build has taken place and we’re no longer planning to merge patches on this branch.
**Reconcile poky and OE-Core defaults templates.
*If you have any final patches for whinlatter, please get these sent to the list ASAP.
**Resolve Fedora 43 selftest failures
**Fixing yocto-check-layer to work with –machines
*Issues that were resolved this week:
**Switching to pkg-config.
**Allowing non-destructive git fetcher updates for bitbake-setup (further tweaks still being discussed)
*We are seeing issues with older versions of tar on RHEL 9 derived distros (selinux triggers due to xattrs)
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
