Key Status/Updates:
- We are now at feature freeze for 4.1 but M3 has not been built yet.
- Many of the blocking issues for M3 have been resolved including:
- perl build hangs
- cve-check database issues
- hash-equiv file not found issues on local domain sockets
- layer setup changes merged
- rust upgrade merged
- libgcrypt ptest issues on ARM is potentially fixed
- llvm build path corruption in mesa was resolved
- rust ppc patch was revised
- llvm-config handling in core was reworked
- nativesdk-gcc issue breaking rust SDK tests was identified and fixed
- a checksum mismatch race issue in bitbake’s fetcher code was fixed
- Thanks to everyone who helped work on and resolve these, it will significantly improve the release and autobuilder stability during testing.
- There is still an issue with rust SDK failures on ubuntu1804 to resolve before M3 can build
- The rust selftest changes are looking unlikely to merge as they don’t pass during testing yet and one of the precursor patches causes buildpath issues. Some precursor patches did merge.
- Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent 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 4.1 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_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.
