*YP 4.0.35 is due to release
*YP 6.0.1 was released
*YP 5.3.4 is in QA
*YP 6.1 M1 is in review
*YP 6.0 rc1 is in QA
*AUH is now running daily in incremental mode. We’re still tweaking some of the behaviours and reporting but if anyone has feedback/concerns, let us know. Help is needed with resolving automatic update failures and getting the patches into a state where they can be accepted.
*There will be no patch review on Monday 4th May due to public holidays.
*CVE metrics are up on scarthgap & wrynose branches due to delays with kernel upgrades. We’ve had intermittent LTP failures, kconfig type changes, lttng build failures and new warnings in dmesg which we needed to handle. We’re working through this, help is needed to accelerate testing of future stable kernel upgrades.
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
*Systemd v260 will require Linux 5.10 or later. We run some systemd utils on the host during the build, so this presents issues with RHEL 8 era distros which have older kernel versions. If you use one of these distros, assistance may be needed to keep them supported. See https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119870359
*There were some last minute changes to DISTRO_FEATURES behaviour to resolve some usability issues that users identified.
*We continue to see high load on our infrastructure due to bots and AI scraping. This has primarily caused timeouts and errors accessing git.openembedded.org & git.yoctoproject.org. We have mitigations in place for now. Traditional git:// protocol continues to be disabled.
*There have been several issues in pseudo identified and these have been fixed in the various pseudo point releases. We will upgrade pseudo in 6.0.1 to pull these in.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
*There have been issues with 403 errors from crates.io, there is a change in bitbake to use the preferred upstream urls via their CDN.
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic:
*The kvm cpu features issue looks to be a host system CPU microcode issue and using the latest microcode appears to have resolved the issues.
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
*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.
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
*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 but are trying to clear the backlog.
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**groff build race issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto
