Key Status/Updates:

  • Patches for 6.2 have started merging into master
  • There is a proposal for changes to layer configuration setup out for discussion: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2431
  • The proposed layer changes will likely be more invasive than many of the recent changes but also incorporate a number of new features and improvements which will make them useful to everyone and allow various cleanups of existing code. A full proposal should be ready for review soon.
  • The Yocto Project wiki was made read-only to mitigate PHP security issues reported last week, we hope to have this working fully again soon.
  • Now that YP 6.1 is released, we will re-test Yocto Project compatible layers for the new release. If you have a YP compatible layer, please ensure you have created a “blacksail” branch.
  • There are issues the triage team spotted where we could benefit from help:
    • go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
    • systemd user/groups different on opkg vs rpm images (#14139)
    • recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
  • We plan to move a couple of planned releases forward by a week to avoid needing to make a release during the end of the year holidays.
    • 6.1.1: 2026-11-23
    • 6.0.5: 2026-11-30
    • 5.0.22: 2026-12-07
    • 6.2 M1: 2026-12-14
  • We have also planned out release dates for the second half of 2027, up to the YP 6.3 release. These will be added to the release calendar once the wiki is editable.
