Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 6.1 M1 was released
  • YP 6.0.2 is in review
  • YP 5.0.19 is in QA
  • We are now two weeks away from M2!
  • We have identified a few linux-yocto CVEs which need triaging due to missing version information in the CVE databases (affecting master, wrynose and scarthgap), see the email sent to the list: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/topic/120036383
  • We are having some challenges with the autobuilder, both with an NFS server open file/lock build up of some kind causing slowdown and eventual halting of write operations and also a mkdir cache race issue. We are working to debug both issues but it is distracting from other work like patch review and new development (e.g. layer.conf format changes).
  • Systemd issues with older host kernels (e.g. RHEL 8) is still being worked on https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119870359
  • We have become aware we should ideally replace eudev with a minimal udev build from systemd instead similar to what some other distros are doing.
  • We continue to see high load on our infrastructure due to bots and AI scraping. This has primarily caused timeouts and errors accessing git.openembedded.org & git.yoctoproject.org. We have mitigations in place for now. Traditional git:// protocol continues to be disabled.
  • We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
  • A key pseudo memory corruption issue when interacting with bash was identified and patches are being worked on for a new pseudo release to address this.
  • Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic:
    • several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
    • sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
    • siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
    • groff build race issues
    • intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
  • We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto
