*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is in QA, the final work item is updating the documentation. Help to write and review release notes and migration guides is greatly appreciated.
*YP 5.0.4 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.4 is out of QA and under review for release.
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is out of QA, the final work item is updating the documentation. Help to write and review release notes and migration guides is greatly appreciated.
*master and styhead have now diverged, so be aware of this if you’re tracking git branches.
*The situation with Fedora 41 and python 3.13 has improved. There are several bitbake fixes needed and one one for pseudo the posix_spawn function.
*The new release series name is available in OE-Core master, ‘walnascar’ aka ‘walna’ verbally. Users are encouraged to update their master/devel branches to this.
*The bb.exceptions module could use some attention from someone with appropriate python knowledge (it makes tracebacks pickleable).
*Early testing shows problems in Fedora 41 related to pseudo. Help in debugging and root causing appreciated.
*CVE emails are now reporting correctly again, thanks Steve.
*The Ubuntu 24.04 with NFS issue has been resolved, but unless we respin the release build will not be fixed in 5.1.0.  A fix is already integrated into bitbake and will be in the first point release.
*We can now compare the performance of the new autobuilder perf builds:

*The performance workers are about twice the speed (but the performance workers were not normal worker nodes on the old system). rm_work adds about a minute to build times on a modern SSD system.
*Migration to the new autobuilder is proceeding with regular users now encouraged to trigger builds on the new cluster to stress test and identify any issues.

*We are having problems with the toaster tests failing after layer index updates for styhead. If anyone has knowledge of selenium CSS selectors we’d appreciate assistance!
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.
*For 5.2 it would be helpful to have rough development plans for areas of the project if anyone is able to help document a rough roadmap/plan for them. The following areas are known to be being or need working on:

Yocto Project Weekly Status Oct. 8th, 2024

Current Dev Position: YP 5.1 release built and awaiting release notes
Next Deadline: YP 5.1 M4 Release date 2024-10-25

Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 5.0.4 is due to be released
  • YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is out of QA, the final work item is updating the documentation. Help to write and review release notes and migration guides is greatly appreciated.
  • The situation with Fedora 41 and python 3.13 has improved. There are several bitbake fixes needed and one one for pseudo the posix_spawn function.
  • The bb.exceptions module could use some attention from someone with appropriate python knowledge (it makes tracebacks pickleable).
  • CVE emails are now reporting correctly again, thanks Steve.
  • We can now compare the performance of the new autobuilder perf builds:
  • The performance workers are about twice the speed (but the performance workers were not normal worker nodes on the old system). rm_work adds about a minute to build times on a modern SSD system.
  • Migration to the new autobuilder is proceeding with regular users now encouraged to trigger builds on the new cluster to stress test and identify any issues.
  • We are having problems with the toaster tests failing after layer index updates for styhead. If anyone has knowledge of selenium CSS selectors we’d appreciate assistance!
  • For 5.2 it would be helpful to have rough development plans for areas of the project if anyone is able to help document a rough roadmap/plan for them. The following areas are known to be being or need working on:
    • Autobuilder
    • Binary Distro
    • Bitbake config fragments
    • Bitbake setup process/tooling
    • GUI screen shot QA test
    • IDE Plugin development
    • Layer Index
    • Patchtest
    • Security Tooling
    • Swatbot
    • Toaster
  • If there are other areas we should have plans for, please let us know.

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 5.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.2_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.
