Yocto Project Weekly Status June 4th, 2024
Current Dev Position: YP 5.1 M1
Next Deadline: YP 5.1 M1 Build 20 May 2024
Next Team Meetings:
- Bug Triage meeting Thursday June 6th at 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)
- Weekly Engineering Sync Tuesday June 4th at 8 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09)
- Twitch - See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester
Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.0.19 is in QA
- YP 5.1 M1 rc1 is building
- We identified the performance problem in bitbake using hash equivalence servers and have made changes to batch queries and improve build times
- Extra logging for that performance problem is available by setting BB_LOGCONFIG=XXX/bitbake/contrib/autobuilderlog.json (the more verbose logging the autobuilder uses) which will then show if initial query or rehash looping takes longer than 30s for iterations or 60s overall.
- We changed locked-sigs to include the hash equivalence mapping data, removing the need to copy the cache file.
- Libtool was upgraded to the 2.5.0 alpha release, many patches were merged upstream.
- Qemu has been upgraded to 9.0.0, kernel headers to 6.9 and stable and dev kernel updates merged (to 6.6.32)
- There is one remaining issue on fedora40, systemtap-native does not build. The other Fedora 40 are believed to be fixed.
- Some layers are setting fallbacks for UNPACKDIR which break OE-Core by trying to claim compatibility with everything. Errors have been added to make this problem clear.
sstate has had changes to fix a bug where build-history data was inconsistent. The siteconfig class was removed to make that change easier and improve the code, it was mostly unused anyway.
- The parallelism in the hash client was removed as batching queries is much more effective and easier on the server.
- There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990
- Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
- Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
- There is a further update from Marta/Syslinbit on the CVE tooling/patches
- We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.
- Post release upgrading is resulting in an improvement in patch metrics which is great to see, more should appear next week in the statistics too.
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 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.
