Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.2 rc2 is now in QA
- YP 4.0.9 is being built
- Due to some concerns about crate urls, 4.2 rc1 was abandoned and rc2 built.
- linux-yocto is no longer excluded from CVE reporting on master, thanks to all who have helped triage the CVE list for the kernel. https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/cve-status-master.txt
- We’re happy to announce that Steve Sakoman is going to be supporting the mickledore stable series.
- The langdale release series will now wind down after one final point release
- Patches should soon start flowing into master for 4.3
- The project is looking at a funding opportunity where projects with a specific development focus may be able to be funded. Ideas coming to mind might include bringing back patchtest or toaster’s automated testing. If anyone has ideas that we’d be able to find people to work on (contract based?) within a reasonable timeframe, we’d be interested to hear the things people feel would make the biggest difference to the project.
- 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.
