*The proposed layer changes will likely be more invasive than many of the recent changes but also incorporate a number of new features and improvements which will make them useful to everyone and allow various cleanups of existing code.
*The proposed layer changes will likely be more invasive than many of the recent changes but also incorporate a number of new features and improvements which will make them useful to everyone and allow various cleanups of existing code. A full proposal should be ready for review soon.
*There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467
*The Yocto Project wiki was made read-only to mitigate PHP security issues reported last week, we hope to have this working fully again soon.
*The Yocto Project wiki has undergone significant cleanup, mostly with removal of obsolete pages/information. We plan to migrate the remaining data to a different solution. If anyone is able to help with review of content, please let us know.
*Now that YP 6.1 is released, we will re-test Yocto Project compatible layers for the new release. If you have a YP compatible layer, please ensure you have created a “blacksail” branch.
*The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
*There are issues the triage team spotted where we could benefit from help:
*There was a widely reported security issue with musl+openssh. The project has published details on the situation here: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto-security/message/1728
*We had some positive response to our request for help with the issues highlighted from the bug triage team last week. Further help is requested with the following devtool & recipetool issues:
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
**systemd user/groups different on opkg vs rpm images (#14139)
**recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
