*We are now at feature freeze and working on bug fixing for the final 5.1 release builds
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is being built
*Due to timing of autobuilder infrastructure changes, vacations, no release blocking bugs and also seemingly limited availability of people to help with general bug fixing, we are considering an early M4 build, maybe even this week. If that would cause problems for anyone, please let Richard/the TSC know ASAP.
*There are YP 5.2 proposed milestone dates - please review and let us know if there are any concerns.
*Support for TCLIBCAPPEND was dropped.
**The final pieces of the release were merged:
*We updated to only support the “styhead” layer series namespace.
**sanity test for Ubuntu 24.04 userns/apparmor issue added
*The new autobuilder infrastructure is showing a number of challenges including some new bugs, new intermittent issues, challenges with new distros and a new reproducibility issue but we’re working through them
**TCLIBCAPPEND properly deprecated
**toaster fixtures tweaked
**buildtools updated
**non-deterministic libsdl2 configure issue fixed
**gitsm configparser change reverted
**many other varied and useful fixes
*Since there is now an rc build heading to QA, master and styhead will diverge. There are some patches in master-next which were deemed too late/risky for the release (including the gomod class changes)
*The new autobuilder has had NAS problems when scaled to final size, those are being worked on but it will delay switching to the new system a little.
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.

Yocto Project Weekly Status Sept. 17th, 2024

Current Dev Position: YP 5.1 Feature Freeze and Bug Fixing
Next Deadline: YP 5.1 M4 Build 30 Sept. 2024

Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 5.1 M3 has been released
  • YP 4.0.21 has been released
  • YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is being built
  • There are YP 5.2 proposed milestone dates - please review and let us know if there are any concerns.
    • The final pieces of the release were merged:
    • sanity test for Ubuntu 24.04 userns/apparmor issue added
    • TCLIBCAPPEND properly deprecated
    • toaster fixtures tweaked
    • buildtools updated
    • non-deterministic libsdl2 configure issue fixed
    • gitsm configparser change reverted
    • many other varied and useful fixes
  • Since there is now an rc build heading to QA, master and styhead will diverge. There are some patches in master-next which were deemed too late/risky for the release (including the gomod class changes)
  • The new autobuilder has had NAS problems when scaled to final size, those are being worked on but it will delay switching to the new system a little.
  • There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.

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.
