Key Status/Updates:
- YP 3.4 M3 has been released
- YP 3.3.3 rc2 is in QA.
- YP 3.1.11 is due to build this week.
- We now have a public hash equivalence service from the autobuilder available and instructions on testing with this are on the mailing list. With a couple of recent fixes, build from the autobuilder sstate are now possible and quite effective.
- Issues have been found in the output task hashes related to timestamps and improvements for this are pending in master-next.
- We have noticed bitbake was hiding deprecation warnings and plan to fix that before the release of 3.4. This may cause some warnings to become visible before release that will need fixing but some of those issues will be problematic with python 3.10 which will be released in the lifetime of 3.4.
- Fixes for task failure handling on the console were merged into bitbake to reduce duplicate output where log files may be printed multiple times.
- Expansion errors in bitbake should now print variable dependency chains making them easier to understand/debug.
- 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.
