Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 5.0.21 was released
  • Patches for 6.2 have started merging into master
  • There is a proposal for changes to layer configuration setup out for discussion: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2431
  • We have updated packages to handle the Emudhra CA certificate compromise that occurred last week, and updates have been expedited on our stable branches.
    • The AB intermittent issues we frequently highlight caused some delays in getting these changes merged to the stable branches - these intermittent issues do have an impact!
  • The Yocto Project wiki was made read-only to mitigate PHP security issues reported last week, we hope to have this working fully again soon.
  • We are currently reviewing proposed release dates for 2027 and should be able to share these next week.
    • We may move some releases forward a week this year to avoid needing to make a release during the end-of-year break.
  • Now that YP 6.1 is released, we will re-test Yocto Project compatible layers for the new release. If you have a YP compatible layer, please ensure you have created a “blacksail” branch.
  • There are issues where we could accept help:
    • Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
    • Remaining github.com references in bitbake-selftest
  • US daylight savings time finishes this Sunday, some meeting times track US Pacific timezone so double check your calendars next week.
  • The CFP is open for the OpenEmbedded Workshop to be held in Brussels on Feb 1st 2027: https://pretalx.com/openembedded-workshop-2027/
