*YP 3.1.12 was built but had autobuilder failures so is also being discussed.
*There is a proposed syntax simplification on the openembedded-architecture list with a patch on bitbake-devel. This would phase out the use of append/prepend/remove operators with +=/=+ and mean it would just work with “=” alone. *We’ve not recommended this combination and it removes a redundancy which confuses new users.
*A request was made to continue hardknott support in the community and this was agreed until Feb/March next year but will not overlap the LTS.
*There will be some infrastructure down time at the end of the year for the autobuilder and NAS, likely between the 26th and 31st December. This will affect the autobuilder workers, downloads and sstate shares from the project but not websites or git services. Last time we had a NAS outage it caused some issues so we are trying to ensure those issues are fixed in the stable branches and master with mirroring in place for key things like uninative before then. If anyone is aware of any other failure modes we need to address, please let us know.
*Patches to guard against poor performance if servers are unresponsive have been merged along with mirror urls for key components. These should make the system more robust and allow builds to work with infrastructure outages. Fixes are in master and dunfell with hardknott and honister due to have the backports as well.
*Workarounds for the github protocol changes have been merged to all stable branches and to master with url changes also being made in many cases.
*Packagegroups which are also allarch will now raise errors if they depend on anything using the PKG: package renaming mechanism (e.g. debian.bbclass renaming).
*We have seen a drop in the number of patches in “Pending” state again this week. Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to review patch status and handle accordingly.
*We continue to see a reduction in the number of patches in “Pending” state. Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to review patch status and handle accordingly, particularly where they were accepted upstream.
*5.15 kernel headers and kernels have been merged.
*There have been a number of small but potentially useful bitbake fixes to file checksum tracking, runall option handling and hung parsing threads.
*Intermittent issues continue to rise and help is very much welcome on these issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT
