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.
