Key Status/Updates:

• The next status report will be published on 2019/1/2 as we expect things to slow down over the holiday season in many locations.
• YP 2.5.2 rc1 is out of QA and should release today or tomorrow.
• YP 2.7 M1 is in QA.
• The distrodata bbclass in OE-Core is being removed since the tinfoil API provides a much better way to handle this kind of issue/data.
• We discovered potential hash collision issues with some of bitbake’s caching of objects so we are likely going to change to use sha256 everywhere including for sstate objects.
• There are occasional issues continuing in oe-selftest which we’re struggling to get to the bottom of unfortunately.
• There are some patches like the perl upgrade which are blocked on merging due to limited help in fixing fallout from them in layers like meta-openembedded. Khem in particular does a great job but we can’t rely on him alone.
