Current Dev Position: YP 4.2 M3
Next Deadline: 20th February 2023 YP 4.2 M3 Build
Next Team Meetings:
- Bug Triage meeting Thursday February 9th 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)

Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.0.7 and YP 4.2 M2 were released.
- The 6.1 kernel issues we were seeing on the autobuilder were resolved by a point upgrade on the kernel to address virtio networking issues and some patches to address perf reproducibility issues.
- A summary of some of the key issues was sent to the mailing list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/176476 The bitbake command timeout and PR serv async io issues still need to be addressed. Thanks to everyone who helped address the other items there, it was much appreciated.
- We upgraded to glibc 2.37 and a corresponding uninative upgrade is pending.
- Fixes for locale on target were merged with new automated locale tests to ensure these keep working.
- We merged patches for basic loongarch support but there is no testing of it.
- CVE levels in master are still high and we need to resolve several of the issues
- 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.

Current Dev Position: YP 4.2 M3
Next Deadline: 20th February 2023 YP 4.2 M3 Build
Next Team Meetings:
- Bug Triage meeting Thursday February 2nd 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)

Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.0.7 and YP 4.2 M2 are in QA
- We switched to the 6.1 kernel by default for M2. Unfortunately there are a couple of intermittent issues that seem to have crept in. One is a reproducibility issue in perf, likely with some host component causing it as it only occurs on second builds. The second appears to be an intermittent networking issue accessing a python http-server for testing dnf which appeared after the kernel version change.
- We are continuing to see other intermittent failures which are limiting how quickly we can merge changes. A summary of some of the key issues was sent to the mailing list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/176476
- There have been changes to the way the codeparser cache in bitbake stores data which should reduce cache size, reduce the times data needs to be written out and generally help performance.
- CVE levels in master are still high but there are patches in progress for most issues as I understand it.
- We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
Ways to contribute:

Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.1.2 is in QA
- A large number of package upgrades have merged bringing us up to date with various upstreams.
- We have started moving code out of core bbclass files into the function libraries to help reduce parsing memory use, volumes of data transfer and sstate signature data sizes. Help is welcome in developing further patches to improve our function libraries.
- The autobuilder controller has been relocated to deal with connectivity issues, we do have some issues to iron out before things are back to normal service. We were unable to upgrade the buildbot version as there were too many other moving pieces.
- We are trying to upgrade uninative to include libgcc to deal with pthread_cancel failures. Newer versions of patchelf are proving problematic and appear to be causing segfaults and we’re trying to untangle this from other issues.
- We have reverted the tune for qemux86-64 back to corei7-64 since we still have v2 hardware that won’t work properly with v3 under KVM and similar.
- A uninative bug has been exposed by recent bitbake datastore improvements which could cause sstate to be missed/duplicated.
- We merged a number of neat rust improvements which add on target cargo support and added automated QA tests for this functionality so we can ensure it continues to work and doesn’t regress. Thanks Alex Kiernan, we hope to see more series like this one!
- CVE levels in master are becoming worrying again, help would be appreciated to address the open issues.
- The autobuilder maintenance window now occurs on Mondays.
- We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.

Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.2 M1 and YP 4.0.6 were released.
- Builds on the autobuilder are problematic at present due to connection losses with the controller machine. We understand the cause and will be migrating the controller to a new server/location in the next maintenance window to address this.
- A number of invasive bitbake changes have merged including a change to add threading to bitbake’s server/cooker. This will allow us to attempt to resolve various UI/server hang related open bugs and to improve the user experience, e.g. Ctrl+C handling. If people do see issues with hangs, please report them and include the tail end of the bitbake-cookerdaemon.log file.
- The bitbake cache changes to optionally include more hash debugging information did merge. This currently triggers only for the bitbake -S operations but once that mode is triggered for memory resident bitbake, it is “sticky” and will remain set until it unloads. We have seen some OOM issues on autobuilder workers which may be related to this, more debugging is needed to check on bitbake’s memory usage.
- Automatic bitbake function library dependency code has also merged and is active. This should let us migrate class code to become library code for performance improvements.
- A bug in the layer.conf variable changes was identified which was causing re-parsing when it wasn’t necessary. A fix has been merged to address that.
- The OE TSC decided in favour of adding export flag expansion despite the performance impact so that patch will be queued.
- We merged a number of neat rust improvements which add on target cargo support and added automated QA tests for this functionality so we can ensure it continues to work and doesn’t regress. Thanks Alex Kiernan, we hope to see more series like this one!
- CVE levels in master have improved but still need a little work
- The autobuilder maintenance window is moving from Friday to Monday.
- 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.
