Key Status/Updates:
- YP 3.2.4 is in QA and will be the final release in the 3.2 series.
- We’re continuing to merge significant changes into master as patches are tested and reviewed. This included many version upgrades(thanks Alex) bringing us back up to date after the pause during stabilization.
- The multiconfig changes in bitbake continue to cause problems, we could do with simpler test cases to reproduce issues rather than huge builds.
- There is an effort underway to triage the remaining reported CVEs against master and improve our presentation with regard to CVE tracking.
- We have patches in review to enable SMP for qemu for arm and x86 machines
- We also have a proposal to change the default x86 QEMU emulation configuration to something more recent/modern
- We appear to have serial IRQ handling issues with qemuppc and would welcome help from anyone with knowledge in that area.
- We have switched some gnome components from gtk-doc to gi-docgen in line with upstream
- Several of the PRServ rework patches have now merged (thanks Paul).
- Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur and are now at a record high level. 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 We are working to identify the load pattern on the infrastructure that seems to trigger these.
Ways to contribute:
- 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 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_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.
