*YP 3.1.27 was released
*YP 4.0.12 rc1 was built but will need to be rebuilt due to an autobuilder failure due to certificate expiration.
*YP 4.0.12 is in QA.
*The merged systemd upgrade has destablised the autobuilder. We don’t want to revert the upgrade but the regressions are causing multiple test failures and this along with other issues in multiple patch series means patch merging is effectively stalled.
*The 6.4 kernel upgrade is still blocked as we’ve seen two nasty looking hangs in automated testing:
*There are two issues blocking the 6.4 kernel upgrade, one is qemuarm drm boot errors and the second is broken networking for systemd images under qemu.
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/148/builds/349/steps/12/logs/stdio
*Support for a  new recipe sanity testing task (do_recipe_qa) was merged and there is a hope/plan to move more “processing” operations over to this task to improve general parsing time.

as well as a preempt-rt boot error that appears more consistently:

The intermittent issues are a significant risk to automated testing stability and it is hard to know how to proceed as few people are willing/able to help with them. We’ve upgraded qemu 8.0.3 -> 8.0.4 just in case that helps.
The various systemd issues have mostly been resolved although the AUH did break as a result and will have to be fixed and rerun.
Build layout changed slightly with the removal of PE and PR from the WORKDIR path.
There are patches pending which remove source control revisions from PV and move them to PKGV, further simplifying WORKDIR paths and generally improving the code and the way AUTOREV works. This allows SRCPV to be removed as it is no longer needed.
*Significant fixes were made to both the binutils and gcc testsuites which avoid many of the mips toolchain test failures. The failure counts are roughly the same (few hundred) for each architecture now resulting in ~3200 failures overall.  
*There are now consistently ~200 ltp ‘controllers’ failures on both arm and x86 targets.
*A new uninative version was released to add some patches to patchelf to avoid bugs.
*A new test addition to oe-selftest caused another test to fail consistently on the autobuilder and this has been tracked down to one test corrupting the other if they run in the same TMPDIR. This only happens with specific parallelism settings where they happen to run together or with no parallelism.
*We continue to see intermittent ptest failures for glib-networking, mdadm and openssh, help would be much appreciated.
*CVE metrics are worrying with significant numbers of open CVEs against master, many of them kernel related. The 6.4 upgrade should help but that is blocked. Mickledore is also badly affected with a record high count. https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/

Key Status/Updates:

  • We are now two weeks away from feature freeze for 4.3.
  • YP 3.1.27 was released
  • YP 4.0.12 is in QA.
  • The 6.4 kernel upgrade is still blocked as we’ve seen two nasty looking hangs in automated testing:

We’ve upgraded qemu 8.0.3 -> 8.0.4 just in case that helps. The various systemd issues have mostly been resolved although the AUH did break as a result and will have to be fixed and rerun. Build layout changed slightly with the removal of PE and PR from the WORKDIR path. There are patches pending which remove source control revisions from PV and move them to PKGV, further simplifying WORKDIR paths and generally improving the code and the way AUTOREV works. This allows SRCPV to be removed as it is no longer needed.

  • Significant fixes were made to both the binutils and gcc testsuites which avoid many of the mips toolchain test failures. The failure counts are roughly the same (few hundred) for each architecture now resulting in ~3200 failures overall.
  • There are now consistently ~200 ltp ‘controllers’ failures on both arm and x86 targets.
