Key Status/Updates:
- YP 5.0 M2 and YP 3.1.31 were released.
- YP 4.0.16 is due to be released.
- We are now two weeks to feature freeze for 5.0, our next release
- There is a proposal on the openembedded-architecture list for a “setup tool” for layers and configuration: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1913
- There is a new proposal to drop support for BBFILE_PRIORITY: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1918
- Whilst late in the cycle for this, the benefits appear compelling.
- Patch testing, review and merging is proving tricky at the moment as many patches are having poor interactions with other recipes, or corner case bugs (e.g. glibc mips issues).
- There were many recipe upgrades merged including glibc and binutils, key fixes to pseudo, rpm issues root caused, ltp tests upgraded and expanded and arm tune file additions.
- There have been questions about official RISC-V support in this next release, especially since it is an LTS. There is the potential to do this since the configurations have been written and are close to working. We’re wondering about trial testing this for M3 as a proof of concept. Without higher tier project membership support, this will not make it into the LTS final release though.
Ways to contribute:
- As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: patchtest, layerindex, devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
- There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
- There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
- We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
- 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.
- Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
- We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
