*YP 4.1.1 has passed QA and is likely to be released imminently.
*YP 3.1.21 has passed QA and will be released.
*We’d like to remind people of the importance of developing features on master. Once ready, these can then become available in the next LTS. We do not develop features against current LTS releases, that defeats their purpose.
*It is Yocto Project Summit and OEDVM this week so many people will be attending those events. Thanks to everyone participating or helping enable to happen.
*A key bug in sstate reuse with hash equivalence where “hard” dependencies like pseudo-native and shadow-native rehash was found and is fixed in bitbake master.
*There is some discussion on the architecture list about some changes to bitbake including adding new API to handle python libraries.
*We are thinking about more significant bitbake changes at the moment. Some ideas under consideration are:
*In particular we have a dilemma on whether to accept a parsing overhead for improved variable flag handling (export, unexport, network flags) or for better cache data to improve hash debugging.
**Adding extra information about hashes to the bitbake cache (and the expense of slower loading cache files and slightly slower initial parsing). This would allow easier debugging of hash mismatch issues (e.g. basehash parsing mismatches or esdk hash issues).
*Unfs was upgraded and automated testing enabled. Being able to mount a local filesystem into qemu images or real hardware as the rootfs over NFS can be a useful way to develop or debug issues so it is timely to remind people this is possible. No special user permissions are needed as it is handled in userspace.
**Thinking about the idea of variable “filter” functions to help implementation of recipe class extensions (like native and nativesdk).
**Extending bitbake’s recipe syntax to support structured data.
*We’d welcome a proposal/series on how to move forward with the Y2038 work for 32 bit platforms.
