Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.2 rc2 has passed QA and is likely to be released once we have TSC approval and the release notes and migration guide are ready.
- YP 4.0.9 passed QA and is also due to be released imminently.
- Patches have started to land in master for 4.3 and the branch is open for development
- The OE TSC has been discussing some focused work on improving the patch submission and new user documentation. There are currently multiple out of date documents in various wikis and READMEs which contain good information but also things which are obsolete. The aim is to identify the documents which should be merged and turn them into one comprehensive document, likely in the Yocto Project documentation set. This new document would also address some of the changes in developer background we’re seeing, such as being unfamiliar with mailing lists.
- 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.
