'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We’re now in feature freeze for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
*YP 5.3 was released, thanks to everyone who helped make it happen!
*We have not built M3 yet as some work still remains for us to be feature complete and ready for QA. This puts us behind schedule but the plan is to complete the key features we’ve planned rather than adhere strictly to dates. We hope to make up time during M4 by having M3 at high quality and take advantage of our automation.
*YP 4.0.32 is in QA
*RP is away for the rest of the week which means M3 progress will be limited this week, Ross will queue patches.
*The project will be taking a break from our regular meetings from 24th December until 4th January for the holidays.
*Key 3.0 changes have now merged:
*Patches for master are merging and the builds are looking greener, there is a problem with the test result regression reports still causing failures as well as some check-layer issues.
**5.2 linux-libc-kernel-headers
*We have isolated the Fedora43 workers until we can root cause the binary problems it was causing when the sstate was shared to older systems
**5.2 kernel recipes by default for all reference BSPs
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
**Removal of LSB and poky-lsb and replacement with alt config testing
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
**systemd by default for poky-altcfg
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
**Patches have significantly reduced the dependency on python2
*The project is exploring the idea of applying for funding for security related work. If anyone (individual or consultancies) has ideas, please talk to Paul/Richard/TSC. This is an opportunity to work on those issues you never have time/funding for!
**Reproducible builds are now being tested for core-image-minimal
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved.
**Automated toolchain testsuite tests (binutils, gcc, glibc)
 
*Key blocking issues for M3 that have been fixed:
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
**Systemtap issues with 5.2 were debugged and patches sent/merged upstream
*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!
**5.2 dmesg on qemuarm64 fixed
*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
**qemumips hang when using highmem root caused and worked around (for now)
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
**mdadm ptest timeout worked around
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 6.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_6.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
**quilt and libevent ptest regressions from M2 resolved
*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.
*Remaining issues blocking M3:
*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.
**systemd boot failure on qemumips
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
**strace ptest timeout
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
**Hash equivalence performance problems (RP has a simple idea to ~double speed)
*Ongoing project 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 as it will allow us to potentially find ways to fund specific work items.
**Hash equivalence bugs
 
**Toolchain testsuite relocation bugs (Nathan working on it)
'''Tracking Metrics:'''<br/>
*Hash Equivalency status:
*WDD 2978 (last week 2963) (https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/charts/combo.html)
**Ideas about removing some dependency information from the hashes to allow faster bulk queries aren’t viable so the current codebase approach is correct
*OE-Core/Poky Patch Metrics
**we need to rework the client/server communication to scale to the autobuilder
**Total patches found: 1086 (last week 1080)
**there are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to expose
**Patches in the Pending State: 152 (14%) [last week 152 (14%)]
**we have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour should be
*https://autobuilder.yocto.io/-release/patchmetrics/
**test cases are proving to be problematic to write in a maintainable way
*Documentation - Due to illness Scott is unavailable for the next month or two so doc patches will be handled by Richard or Ross in the short term. We’ll likely limit them to correctness issues and defer any substantial new text. If anyone has availability and skills to work on the manuals please talk to us. We’re aware there is a patch backlog.
*If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.
