Key Status/Updates:
- We are now at feature freeze for YP 3.4
- Read-only PRServ and switch to asyncio was merged
- Rust merging to core is proving problematic due to issues interacting with uninative. These cause many strange autobuilder failures so this issue would have to be addressed in the next day or two in order to be in 3.4.
- glibc 2.34 and the merge of the various libraries into libc is causing significant problems for pseudo. This issue is causing significant worry as the project will struggle as distros adopt the new glibc version unless we work out how to fix things.
- The tune file layout change was merged.
- We are still hoping to get some of the planned SBOM work into 3.4
- Intermittent issues are ongoing and help is very much welcome on these 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
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.
