Current Dev Position: YP 6.1 M3
Next Deadline: YP 6.1 M3: w/c 2026-08-31
Next Team Meetings:
- Bug Triage meeting - Thursday 20th Aug. 7:30am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)

- Yocto Project Patch Review - Thursday 20th Aug. 10am GMT and Monday 24th Aug. 9am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/97762397148?pwd=1xk0iC9hp9SjEonaTaONwTb6iWry4Eb.1)
Project data dashboard: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/
Key Status/Updates:
- YP 6.1 M3 is due in two weeks and this will be the feature freeze point for YP 6.1.
- AI scrapers and bots continue to impact the infrastructure, taking huge amounts of time for our sysadmins and with a significant cost impact to the project.
- We would like to remind everyone that AI-generated code submitted to Yocto Project must include disclosure of the use of AI tools, in line with our policy in the contributor guide (https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/submit-changes.html#acceptance-of-ai-generated-code). Joshua has sent patches adding AGENTS.md files to bitbake and openembedded-core to prompt agents to follow this policy. We are discussing further updates to our policy on AI assisted submissions as this is a rapidly evolving area.
- There have been locking changes with do_fetch/do_unpack within the bitbake fetcher to allow better performance of builds with shared DL_DIRs. There are also performance improvements to the handling of repeated ssl connection queries.
- There is discussion on the architecture list about how we could improve the fetcher, particularly around how recursion is handled in git submodules: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2416
- We continue to try and keep up to date with upstream releases through the AUH, big thanks to those sending version updates and fixing version update issues.
- There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
- Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
- aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix.
- Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
- other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
- sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
- intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
Ways to contribute:
- We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C would be greatly appreciated. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
- There are a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder, any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be welcome! https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
- Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe maintainer. Please look at https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
- For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing
