Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.0.7 and YP 4.2 M2 were released.
- The 6.1 kernel issues we were seeing on the autobuilder were resolved by a point upgrade on the kernel to address virtio networking issues and some patches to address perf reproducibility issues.
- A summary of some of the key issues was sent to the mailing list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/176476 The bitbake command timeout and PR serv async io issues still need to be addressed. Thanks to everyone who helped address the other items there, it was much appreciated.
- We upgraded to glibc 2.37 and a corresponding uninative upgrade is pending.
- Fixes for locale on target were merged with new automated locale tests to ensure these keep working.
- We merged patches for basic loongarch support but there is no testing of it.
- CVE levels in master are still high and we need to resolve several of the issues
- We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
Ways to contribute:
- As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: patchtest, layerindex, devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
- 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.
