Key Status/Updates:
- YP 2.7.3 and 3.0.2 have been released.
- YP 3.1 has been announced as an LTS release: https://www.yoctoproject.org/yocto-project-long-term-support-announced/
- We are now past M3 feature freeze. A number of key issues have been addressed, thanks to everyone who contributed:
- psplash systemd race issues fixed (Thanks Scott)
- make mips issue root caused and glibc fix pulled in (Thanks Victor/Khem)
- ltp upgrade resolved (Thanks Petr)
- util-linux update resolved (Thanks Pierre-Jean)
- Uninative tumbleweed issue resolved (Thanks Michael)
- libgpg-error upgrade (Thanks Alex)
- There were many other fixes and upgrades, thanks all!
- The remaining issues we need to look at addressing before we build M3 are:
- bind upgrade (needs libuv maintainer fix and resend from Armin)
- coreutils ptest blocked on libmodule-build-perl reproducibility issue
- Locked signature selftest failure
- SystemExit() intermittent selftest failure
- pseudo sysroot high priority bug
- gcc buildtools tarball solution for centos7 support
- Recipe upgrades are now much less likely to be accepted unless there is a pressing need, ideally these should be held until 3.1 is released and development for 3.2 is started. We do not have a tracking branch for 3.2 as we’d like to focus people on 3.1 right now.
- Bug metrics are not good with a rise in WDD when typically it should be falling for this point in a release cycle.
