Key Status/Updates:
- YP 3.4 rc1 is through QA and the TSC is discussing, likely planning to release as 3.4
- YP 3.5 Planning document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OXw-NKoL_Vb9RWI6sRPs3zTcAn4hHPtG0Y2BIs7xIzo/edit?usp=sharing
- Patches to master have continued to merge post-release, most of the backlog is now processed. There were a number of more invasive changes that were deferred for after 3.4 and this has disrupted things a little (pkgconfig-native missing dependencies, reproducible builds being made the default, openssl 3.X, python 3.10, insane class function cleanup and switch to zstd for sstate which have also now merged.
- We are pleased to report that sstate reuse on the autobuilder has improved significantly and this is reducing build times, to the point several of us did check to see if it did actually build things!
- Intermittent issues continue to rise, particularly with some seemingly network related gremlin somewhere. Help is very much welcome on these issues. 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
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 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_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.
