Key Status/Updates:
- YP 3.3.3 was released
- YP 3.1.11 is in QA.
- The public hash equivalence and sstate share highlighted some issues where builds from sstate were not as optimal as they could be. There are a number of related patches on the mailing list, some are more invasive than others and are marked as RFC. They do fix and improve valid issues but some may be too invasive at this point of the release.
- The output hash timestamp issues were resolved and this has improved state reuse.
- Fixes for a number of open bugs in bugzilla have been posted but some have implications for other layers (e.g. accounting site info in task hashes).
- 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.
