*The sstate hash equivalency continues to have challenges:
**performance of the hash server is not able to scale to the autibuilder’s load
**performance of the hash server is not able to scale to the autibuilder’s load
**performance of runqueue has regressed even when not using the hash equivalency code
**there are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to expose
**bugfixes in master-next regress performance even further
**we have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour should be
**there are bugs being triggered by the has equivalency code that need investigation and resolution (along with test cases creating).
**test cases are proving to be problematic to write in a maintainable way
These issues are being worked on but we need to ensure correctness of the new code first before the performance can be fixed
*On a more positive note, some of the key performance issues were identified and fixed so performance doesn’t regress for usage without hash equivalence. Several corruption issues and other key fixes to runqueue also merged.
*There were updates so some key components for bug fixes this week, in particular pseudo.
*Jason Wessel finally tracked down our mystery glibc-locale bug, which was not a pseudo issue. Thanks and kudos to Jason!
*General patch merging is happening and the queue is mostly clear and flowing but it isn’t happening as frequently as usual due to the hash equivalency work.
*General patch merging is currently delayed along with patch feedback due to the hash equivalence issues and lack of bandwidth to progress everything at once.
*We still need to make a decision on systemd or sysvinit defaults as the init system.
