*YP 5.1 M2 is due to be built now SPDX 3.0 has merged
*We’re mostly up to date with the ‘standard’ patches but there are a number of trickier patch series or isolated changes pending. These are hard to make review decisions on due to limited wider review or being hard to concisely articulate concerns
*SPDX 3.0 has merged, thanks Joshua, Marta and everyone else who has worked on this.
*Some larger patches are on the list and help reviewing these would be appreciated:
*We’ve chosen to make SPDX 3.0 the default since it is much more suited to what we do.
**Adding SPDX 3.0 from Joshua
*A number of QA checks were moved from WARN_QA to ERROR_QA. The intention is to allow recipes to be marked up with known issues rather than have builds with warnings people tend to ignore, or ideally have the issues fixed.
*If layers choose to change ERROR_QA, please do it on a per layer basis with an override, not globally,
*An upcoming version of Yocto Project Compatible will require some subset of the ERROR_QA checks to be tested and passed for the layer to be compatible.
*Debug optimization handling was changed, the DEBUG_FLAGS variable was dropped in favor of a new DEBUG_LEVELFLAG which allows distros to more easily change recipe debug levels, in particular to control size.
*The autobuilder has been running into space issues and we analyzed space usage in a build. Patches are proposed to drop the debug symbols for on target llvm to reduce space usage (along with teaks to qemu and openssl) as the output size is effectively unusable currently. Further work on minimizing disk usage would be very welcome and there is a direct relationship with build speed too.
*Autobuilder test result/output indexing has been moved to a specific autobuilder job so the work is more visible to all users (the ‘indexing’ builder). The script has been optimized and the output html cleaned up by Sovereign Tech *Fund sponsorship through their contractors: https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/
*Some larger patches still need help with review these would be appreciated:
**Improved CVE tooling from Marta

**kernel fitimage changes from Adrian

Next Deadline: YP 5.1 M2 Build 8 July 2024

Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 4.0.20 is in QA
  • YP 5.1 M2 is due to be built now SPDX 3.0 has merged
  • SPDX 3.0 has merged, thanks Joshua, Marta and everyone else who has worked on this.
  • We’ve chosen to make SPDX 3.0 the default since it is much more suited to what we do.
  • A number of QA checks were moved from WARN_QA to ERROR_QA. The intention is to allow recipes to be marked up with known issues rather than have builds with warnings people tend to ignore, or ideally have the issues fixed.
  • If layers choose to change ERROR_QA, please do it on a per layer basis with an override, not globally,
  • An upcoming version of Yocto Project Compatible will require some subset of the ERROR_QA checks to be tested and passed for the layer to be compatible.
  • Debug optimization handling was changed, the DEBUG_FLAGS variable was dropped in favor of a new DEBUG_LEVELFLAG which allows distros to more easily change recipe debug levels, in particular to control size.
  • The autobuilder has been running into space issues and we analyzed space usage in a build. Patches are proposed to drop the debug symbols for on target llvm to reduce space usage (along with teaks to qemu and openssl) as the output size is effectively unusable currently. Further work on minimizing disk usage would be very welcome and there is a direct relationship with build speed too.

  • Some larger patches still need help with review these would be appreciated:
    • Improved CVE tooling from Marta
    • kernel fitimage changes from Adrian
    • bitbake-setup and configuration fragments from Alexander
  • 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
  • We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc. We tested rust 1.78 with master and there is a long list of reported issues on the mailing list unfortunately. Rust 1.77 has a much smaller list of problems at least in initial testing.
