*Next week M2 is due to build so if anyone has changes for that milestone, please send ASAP.
*YP 4.1 M2 is due to build this week.
*YP 4.0.2 has been through QA and is likely to be released in the next few days.
*YP 4.0.2 was released.
*A reproducibility issue was identified and raised a question on whether we could enable              an old QA check for these kinds of issues (‘buildpaths’ in insane.bbclass). Some bugs were fixed in the test but is has highlighted several reproducibility issues. Some have been fixed but others remain:
*We have fixes in place for most of the reproducible build issues so will enable the buildpaths QA test by default soon once the remaining tweaks have merged. This will allow much easier visibility into reproducibility issues in people’s builds
**docs issues in lib32-vala, rpm, lib32-gtk-doc, vala, gtk-doc
*meta-gplv2 builds have been dropped from master and the layer will no longer be maintained.
**musl issue in ltp
*An issue has been identified where libstdc++ is broken when built with the gold linker due to patch changes that changed the build process in kirkstone.
**multilib issues in lib32-vala, vala, rpm (may overlap docs)
*Systemd is going to require usrmerge in the future. The proposed patch to require that distro feature will break our autobuilder configuration as things stand so work will be needed to try and adapt to the direction from upstream.
**qemuarm64 kernel-devsrc issue (Bruce looking into)
*Recent changes to package.bbclass for externalsrc handling have broken source and license handling for the kernel, highlighting the need to better tests there. We don’t have a fix as yet.
**meta-virt issues in xen-tools (Christopher looking into)
*There have been further proposed patches around improving the eSDK tooling workflows and around layer setup.
**meta-gplv2 issues in mc, tar
*Work is continuing on the /proc/pressure monitoring code.
**lttng-modules .debug issue on beaglebone, edgerouter, and qemumips
*Fixing these will allow us to enable buildpaths by default which should allow more people to spot reproducibility issues.
*There is a discussion about layer setup tooling in the bitbake-layers discussion on the OE-Core list, input is welcome from those with an interest in this.
*There is also a RFC series about improving the eSDK tooling workflows from Alex Kanavin which may be of interest.
*Code to monitor the /proc/pressure interface has been added and there is a patch to optionally allow bitbake to reduce the number of processes running depending on system load, which it is hoped may help some of our autobuilder intermittent issues (thanks Aryaman and Randy).
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent 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
