Key Status/Updates:

  • We’re now in feature freeze in M4 for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
  • We have a QA report for M3 and this is due for release this week
  • The known issues to be addressed before M4 rc1 is built:
    • Strace kernel timeout problems
    • Better solution for systemd hwdb timeout
    • Fixes for the lsb->altcfg release directory names
    • Fix for hashserv bitbake-selftest server shutdown issue
    • There is bitbake upgrade problem where an older OE-Core doesn’t work with a newer bitbake due to bb.build.FuncFailed being missing#
  • The aim is to build M4 rc1 this week if at all possible but it depends on the above issues being fixed (there are open high bugs for these)
  • A significant performance problem has been found on the autobuilder where some builds are scaling in time badly as the sstate cache grows, taking 12 hours or more in some cases. Unfortunately nobody seems motivated to help work on this kind of issue.
  • If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.
