Key Status/Updates:
- YP 5.0 M2 and YP 3.1.31 are due to be released
- YP 4.0.16 is in QA
- We are now three weeks to feature freeze for 5.0, our next release
- There is a proposal on the openembedded-architecture list for a “setup tool” for layers and configuration: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1913
- We were able to re-enable rust automated testing
- Some key upgrades merged (e.g. qemu, rpm and grub)
- The upgrades and other changes meant we were able to lower our patch count by 25 this week.
- We did encounter at least one qemu regression, we’re trying to discuss with upstream and have a workaround. This did put patch merging at risk.
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 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
- 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.
- Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
- We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
