Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 6.0.1 is due for release
  • YP 6.1 M1 is in QA
  • We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
  • An initial round of patches to remove shell=True subprocess usage in OE-Core have now merged
  • AUH is now running daily in incremental mode so we can avoid large batches of upgrade patches and spread them out as well as reacting more quickly to new upstream releases. We’re still tweaking some of the behaviours and reporting but if anyone has feedback/concerns, let us know.
  • We’ve deliberately aimed to get up to date with the AUH success patches to better evaluate the ongoing upgrades.
  • We have merged support for `devtool upgrade --stable` and the upstream-stable-release-point bbclass. We hope to use this to track upstream projects with known good stable release series, but we need input and discussion on what the criteria should be. Please participate in the discussion on the OE-Architecture list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119437109
  • Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic and unchanged from last week:
    • several qemu ‘hang’ type issues - the qemu upgrade merged, at least some issues still occur
    • 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 (python3-click was tweaked)
  • 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
