'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.3.2 passed QA and is in review.
*YP 5.0 M2 is due to build this week
*The inherit_defer work highlighted a bug in EXPORT_FUNCTIONS handling. This was fixed but does change behavior in some real world usages of the function where the incorrect behavior was being relied upon.
*EXPORT_FUNCTIONS is defined as mapping to those ‘namespaced’ functions only if there isn’t a real definition of that function.
*The inherit_defer changes will likely merge into M2.
*There has been at least one serial issue that reappeared with the 6.6 kernel on the autobuilder unfortunately.
*A bug was fixed in the bitbake –runall option where it wasn’t building as much as it should have.
*The recipe reporting system on the layer index is now functional again, thanks Tim!
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*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 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*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.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.

Yocto Project Weekly Status January 9th, 2024

Current Dev Position: YP 5.0 M2
Next Deadline: 15th January 2024 YP 5.0 M2 build

Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 3.1.30, 4.0.15 and 5.0 M1 were released
  • YP 4.3.2 is in QA
  • Rust was upgraded from 1.71.1 to 1.74.1 in master. 1.75 has reproducibility issues.
  • We were able to remove all exclusions on reproducibility in OE-Core and it is once again 100% reproducible.
  • The sstate-cache-management script was rewritten in python. It is possible there are regressions compared to the previous version, we’ll have to fix them as they’re identified.
  • A workaround for the long standing autobuilder failures on debian11 and ubuntu 18.04 was identified by preloading libgcc. This is now applied for python 3.8 and 3.9 versions within bitbake.
  • We have switched to the 6.6 linux kernel
  • There are patches proposing new “inherit_defer” syntax for bitbake to handle conditional inherits in a way more in keeping with user expectations. Please see the discussion on the openembedded-architecture list.
  • Functions related to signature/hash debugging had an API change resulting in a need to update bitbake and OE-Core together to allow the functionality to be improved.
  • Improvements to the CDN tests and signature debugging were merged which improve usability and also address intermittent autobuilder failures
  • Regarding bugs, even if you can’t fix a bug, submitting a failing test case that can reproduce the issue significantly improves the chances it might get fixed.
