Key Status/Updates:
- 2.8 M1 has been built and rc2 is now undergoing QA (rc1 ran into an issue with a broken autobuilder worker).
- Stephen continues to be unavailable, please refer any queries to Richard
- Mailing lists are moving to groups.io instead of our current mailman setup. This shouldn’t impact users directly, more details will be sent to the mailing lists before the transfer. THe Yocto Project lists will move first, followed by OE, likely a week later.
- We have a new “newcomer” bug category which are bugs suited to someone new to the project. These can be seen here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs
- We’re seeing an increasing number of intermittent failures which affect the autobuilder builds, causing problems for merging patches and for release builds. One cause, a long standing problem with gpg signing testing has finally been root caused and fixed. Several others keep appearing. There is a backlog of them in the bugzilla and we’re opening bugs for the new ones.
- M1 isn’t of ideal quality, there are three ptest timeouts (2.7 had none). The ptest failure rate is however much improved. There is nobody actively working on some of the ptest timeout issues so holding the milestone build wouldn’t have made much difference but its a worrying sign for the project quality.
- M1 also has a couple of MIPS issues with the gcc9 upgrade. There doesn’t appear to be much interest in investigating and fixing these which raises questions about supporting the architecture within the project.
- There was a Yocto Project related article in LWN: https://lwn.net/Articles/788626/
