**systemd timeouts on mips
*We also want to find a better solution to the systemd timeout problem before final release.
**hashequiv server rewrite
*A significant performance problem has been found on the autobuilder where some builds are scaling in time badly as the sstate cache grows, taking 12 hours or more in some cases. Unfortunately nobody seems motivated to help work on this kind of issue.
*The strace regressions will be discussed with the kernel community, the best workaround may be to lower the individual test timeouts so one the affected individual tests fail rather than all tests timing out.
*The plan for M4 is to resolve the above issues and any issues raised from M3 QA, then proceed with the main release rc builds. The first M4 build is scheduled for next week.
*The qemumips issue with systemd is puzzling as its happening in hwdb and hwdb should be generated in advance anyway. Investigation is ongoing about why its being regenerated, a workaround is to increase the timeout as mips is just slow (it does complete eventually, its just marginal).
*The hashequiv server changes are being tested in master-next
It is planned to build M3 this week with the workarounds mentioned above worst case. Its expected there would be further hashequiv fixing during M4.
*We hope to make up time during M4 by having M3 at high quality and take advantage of our automation.
*Documentation - Due to illness Scott is unavailable for the next month or two so doc patches will be handled by Richard or Ross in the short term. We’ll likely limit them to correctness issues and defer any substantial new text. If anyone has availability and skills to work on the manuals please talk to us. We’re aware there is a patch backlog.
*If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.
