*YP 2.6.3 is in QA
*This release which was 2.8 will now become 3.0.
*We have a new “newcomer” bug category which are bugs suited to someone new to the project. These can be seen here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs
*The sstate has equivalency work has run into some challenges:
*This release which was 2.8 will now become 3.0
**performance of the hash server is not able to scale to the autibuilder’s load
*The project is working on some mentor and mentee opportunities. Please see the separate email from Nicolas on the yocto list about this.
**performance of runqueue has regressed even when not using the hash equivalency code
*Patches to bitbake to enable the task scheduler to react to “equivalent” build output have merged. There is more information about this major change in a separate email:
**bugfixes in master-next regress performance even further
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2019-August/285300.html
**there are bugs being triggered by the has equivalency code that need investigation and resolution (along with test cases creating).
*It is hoped this change should improve productivity and reduce rebuilds.
These issues are being worked on but we need to ensure correctness of the new code first before the performance can be fixed
*In making some of these changes, there were some API changes in bitbake, notably the removal of the bb.build.FuncFailed exception, the signature generator task representation changed and there were some siggen function API changes.
*There were updates so some key components for bug fixes this week, in particular pseudo.
libx11-diet was removed as its not really appropriate on a modern locale aware system.
*General patch merging is happening and the queue is mostly clear and flowing but it isn’t happening as frequently as usual due to the hash equivalency work.
