*The patch review backlog continues to reduce with only a small number of patches still pending feedback.
*A new round of upgrades has been merged and the AUH successfully handled recipes with multiple variants like qemu this time, thanks AlexK! Upgrades included binutils, qemu, libtool, linux-libc-headers and many more.
*A new kernel 6.10 recipe is nearly ready, thanks Bruce!
*do_package_qa is now enabled for nativesdk recipes in our automated testing
*The autobuilder has had improvements on space detection to try and resolve build failures. A further plan is detailed in a new enhancement bug but needs resourcing: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15569
*An interesting fix for performance with large numbers of layers and multiconfigs merged in bitbake, thanks Robert!

Yocto Project Weekly Status Aug. 13th, 2024

Current Dev Position: YP 5.1 M3
Next Deadline: YP 5.1 M3 Build 26 Aug. 2024

Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:

  • Feature freeze for YP 5.1 is now 2 weeks away!
  • YP 5.0.3 is in QA
  • The 6.10 is now enabled by default (thanks Bruce). Warnings for genericarm64 remain for at least 6.6.
  • Rust was upgraded to 1.77.2, thanks Yash.
  • Gcc was upgraded to 14.2, thanks Khem.
  • A new version of the cve-check/vex series is under review, thanks Marta.
  • The new mesa version requires meta-clang for the intel drivers. We need to make a decision on how to handle this, clang is likely to make its way to core at some point but work is needed to make the overrides suitable for core before that can happen.

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: 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 is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarball and SDK). We’d love assistance in moving this forward and getting some kind of upstream feature merged to make this easier: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260
  • 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 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_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.
