Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.1.3 was released
- YP 3.1.24 has passed QA and is being reviewed for release
- We are continuing to prepare for final release of 4.2 with the build now due in ~1.5 weeks
- We’re happy to see a huge improvement in the reliability of the python ptests thanks to a dedicated pytest plugin to correctly format the output into a form we can parse, thanks Ross!
- Work on making “poky-bleeding” operational again has highlighted some challenges around AUTOREV support. There are patches pending to bitbake (in -next) to highlight problematic situations users may end up in, wider testing of those patches by AUTOREV users would be helpful.
- CVE levels in the LTS releases are at higher levels than they have been for a while which is a concern.
- We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
Ways to contribute:
- As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: patchtest, layerindex, devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
- 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 4.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.2_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.
- 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.
