Key Status/Updates:
- YP 3.1.21 has passed QA and will be released.
- It is Yocto Project Summit and OEDVM this week so many people will be attending those events. Thanks to everyone participating or helping enable to happen.
- There is some discussion on the architecture list about some changes to bitbake including adding new API to handle python libraries.
- In particular we have a dilemma on whether to accept a parsing overhead for improved variable flag handling (export, unexport, network flags) or for better cache data to improve hash debugging.
- Unfs was upgraded and automated testing enabled. Being able to mount a local filesystem into qemu images or real hardware as the rootfs over NFS can be a useful way to develop or debug issues so it is timely to remind people this is possible. No special user permissions are needed as it is handled in userspace.
- We’d welcome a proposal/series on how to move forward with the Y2038 work for 32 bit platforms.
- We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
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 4.2 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.2_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.
- Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent 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.
