Key Status/Updates:
- The first release candidate build for YP 4.0 (3.5) is due next week (Monday, 4th April)
- YP 3.1.15 was released
- YP 3.4.3 has passed QA and likely to be released imminently
- We’re calming down the number of changes going into the release at this point including upgrades. For example the recent go uprev is very unlikely to make it in at this point. If there are patches you think should be in the release, please comment on them to show support.
- We were able to isolate one parsing process lockup which ideally we’d fix in the release but it is unclear if the fixes will be ready.
- YP 4.1 planning document is available for review at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-g7DatSdmIETwD3xFSCxV7MbWVVkpQvQ788mIr1MPTI/edit?usp=sharing
- Improvements to the documentation version number handling were made, making things easier for release engineering and general maintenance. It should also improve the items in the switcher dropdown menu, Please report any issues anyone spots with the docs.
- If people see intermittent issues in their own builds, particularly if they’re the same as intermittent issues seen on the autobuilder, please do comment in the bugs mentioning when they happen as the frequency information does help us prioritize fixing the most common issues.
- Intermittent issues continue to be at high levels and help is very much welcome in trying to resolve them. 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 We did work out the cause of the infamous tinfoil wait event intermittent issue.
Ways to contribute:
- 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 3.5. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.5_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
- 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.
