*YP 4.0.3 has been through QA with a clean report and is likely to be released
*YP 3.1.18 was released
*The CVE count for master rose sharply this week but a number of fixes were sent by Khem, thanks!
*YP 4.0.3 is due to build this week but we need the glibc and kernel reproducibility fixes first
*Bitbake changes in class handling merged which means classes can now be enforced to be in “global” or “recipe” scope. This handles a long standing usability issue of it not being clear which scope classes should be used in. For example, “testimage” now needs to be included via IMAGE_CLASSES and not via INHERIT. Global class inclusions in recipes such as “base” and “package” will now show a parsing error. “base” was particularly pointless and can simply be removed as it was always inherited.
*Major changes to the rust toolchain build process were merged and this enables target rust, cross SDK and automated SDK testing. Sadly some issues remain and are stopping enabling the tests by default.
*The rust toolchain changes merged and are now being tested by default on the autobuilder but there is one intermittent issue with shebang length overflow in the SDK which still needs to be resolved
*We have finally tracked down and worked out a fix for the kernel reproducibility issue which appeared in recent 5.15 stable updates. It was a config option which changed depending on whether /bin/sh was dash or bash.
*We upgraded glibc to 2.36 and produced a new uninative version which supports this.
*The 5.19 kernel uprev is nearly ready to merge as the final build issues look to have been addressed.
*There are patches out for review for the debug path improvements. These rely on a gcc patch and small change of gcc behavior which is being discussed with upstream.
*The base glibc 2.36 patches have merged but not the actual upgrade yet.
*There were cleanups to copyright and license headers in OE-Core and Bitbake.
*We had some infrastructure issues over the weekend which impacted the autobuilder. Combined with a number of complex patch submissions, this has meant there are patches backlogged.
*“largefile” support in oe-core was cleaned up and removed as we assume this everywhere now, completing something we said would happen in release notes a few years ago.
*A number of new CVEs appeared in master this week so help would be much appreciated in addressing those.
*The debug file mapping issues are stalled due to developer bandwidth limitations.
*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
