*We are continuing with the autobuilder migration and the typhoon cluster is being decommissioned. All builds are now happening on valkyrie (the new cluster).
*Patch merging is continuing to flow but there are a lot of upgrades pending after the recent AUH run.
*There are still a lot of failures occurring on the autobuilder. Of the remaining issues, we are making progress on many but work is still ongoing.
*A patch is pending to remove support for BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY
*In particular it was found the debian 11 5.10 kernel was problematic with qemu and the 6.1 kernel appears more stable for our workloads. We will switch the debian 11 workers to the 6.1 backport kernel.
*Yocto Project Compatible (and hence yocto-check-layer) is potentially undergoing some small tweaks which includes checking for SECURITY files in repository top levels, checking for network access outside do_fetch as part of normal builds and checking for disabled QA checks.  
*We plan to disable the rust tests for mips and ppc, we cannot find any users of rust on these architectures.
*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
*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 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).
**Autobuilder
*The 5.2 development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing
**Binary Distro
*We need to continue to develop this, thanks to all who have contributed so far!
**Bitbake config fragments
**Bitbake setup process/tooling
**GUI screen shot QA test
**IDE Plugin development
**Layer Index
**Patchtest
**Security Tooling
**Swatbot
**Toaster
*If there are other areas we should have plans for, please let us know.

Yocto Project Weekly Status Nov. 19th, 2024

Current Dev Position: YP 5.2 M1
Next Deadline: YP 5.2 M1 Release date 2024-12-09

Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 5.0.5 is under review
  • YP 4.0.23 is in QA
  • Patch merging is continuing to flow but there are a lot of upgrades pending after the recent AUH run.
  • A patch is pending to remove support for BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY
  • Yocto Project Compatible (and hence yocto-check-layer) is potentially undergoing some small tweaks which includes checking for SECURITY files in repository top levels, checking for network access outside do_fetch as part of normal builds and checking for disabled QA checks.
  • 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 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).
  • 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!

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.
