Yocto Project Weekly Status February 13th, 2024
Current Dev Position: YP 5.0 M3
Next Deadline: 19th February 2024 YP 5.0 M3 build
Next Team Meetings:
- Bug Triage meeting Thursday February 15th at 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)
- Weekly Engineering Sync Tuesday February 13th at 8 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09)
- Twitch - See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester
Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.0.16 was released.
- YP 4.3.3 is in QA.
- We are now a week from feature freeze for 5.0, our next LTS release
- The BBFILE_PRIORITY change is being deferred as unfortunately it causes problems with bbappend ordering.
- There have been fixes for python 3.12, recipe upgrades, kernel stable version bump and many other fixes and improvements this week.
- The ‘scarthgap’ layer series name has merged to core. Compatibility with nanbield will be removed soon so maintainers will need to update their layers ASAP for the new release series.
- Patch testing, review and merging is still a little behind due to the volume of failures combined with builds needing long buildtimes to do rebuilding core components like the compiler or libc.
- Several performance regressions were identified in bitbake for world builds and patches have merged to try and improve those.
- LLVMVERSION has been dropped from OE-Core since it doesn’t need it. This resolves a long standing issue/conflict with meta-clang but may need fixes for other layers that rely upon the variable.
- There have been questions about official RISC-V support in this next release, especially since it is an LTS. There is the potential to do this since the configurations have been written and are close to working. We’re wondering about trial testing this for M3 as a proof of concept. Without higher tier project membership support, this will not make it into the LTS final release though.
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: patchtest, layerindex, 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 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 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_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.
