*The 3.1 stable branch has started taking its first rounds of patches, help with review of these would be much appreciated.
*Patches have started merging again into master. We’ve already had some challenging issues to debug with them on the autobuilder where the root cause turned out to be an underlying QA test code issue exposed by test ordering issues.
*A 3.0 stable build is due as soon as the current patches in review are sorted out.
*Master branch development will open up later this week, there are already some patches queued and tested in master-next
*The multilib issue mentioned in previous status reports and on the architecture list is proving tricky, do we make the invasive changes in master-next for master now they appear to work? Backport to dunfell? Or try and come up with a more invasive core bitbake change?
*The multilib discussion on the openembedded-architecture list has continued with the potential of new bitbake support to better enable class extensions (which enable native and nativesdk variants as well as multilib).
*We are aware of some issues with bug trend metrics due to server transitions and are working to resolve those.
*We’ve identified some issues with the new buildtools-extended-tarball so we’ll be making a new version of that and porting fixes to the stable branch.
*We are aware of some issues with bug trend metrics this week due to server transitions and are working to resolve those.
