Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.3 M2 rc2 is in QA, rc1 was rebuilt due to concerns about the test results and a desire to set things up well for M3
- YP 3.1.27 has come out of QA but has open questions about toolchain test regressions blocking release
- There were fixes for glibc tests which reduced the number of failures on x86 (32 and 64 bit), thanks Anuj.
- There were further fixes for LTP result reliability after discovering error code and timeout handling issues which answer long standing questions about changes in test results.
- Support for a new recipe sanity testing task (do_recipe_qa) was merged and there is a hope/plan to move more “processing” operations over to this task to improve general parsing time.
- The pre-release version of autoconf and a gcc stable update were merged.
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.

- We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
