Key Status/Updates:
- YP 3.1.23 was built and is in QA. There was an intermittent failure during the release build but this was a known issue recurring.
- Next week is when M3 is due to build and this marks
feature freeze for YP 4.2
. - We saw a number of version upgrades this week (thanks Alex Kanavin).
- There were also improvements to our runtime testing reliability (thanks Mikko Rapeli).
- Of the issues discussed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/176476, the bitbake command timeout and PR serv async io issues still need to be addressed.
- CVE levels in master are reducing but help in resolving the remaining issues would be appreciated.
- 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.
