Tip of the Week:
- ‘You can quickly test a change to a recipe on a target by rebuilding it alone, then rsyncing pieces of WORKDIR/image/ or WORKDIR/packages-split/PACKAGENAME/ rather than rebuilding the image (bit of a hack but effective).
- (anyone with tips they’d like to see here, please send to Stephen or Richard)
Key Status/Updates:
- YP 3.1 M2 will build shortly, the only remaining blocking issue is the buildtools-extended-tarball fixes which should happen today.
- Python 2 has been finally removed from OE-Core. This was long scheduled and whilst its causing problems for other layers, we really need to resolve those issues now rather than later in the release cycle so it is the right time to finally do this.
- Patch merging continues to be making good progress and staying roughly up to date.
- The patch metrics showed significant improvement this week, partly from continuing work done by Alex Kanavin in keeping things up to date but also from the python2 removal.
- Bruce is struggling to get the 5.4 kernel to work on all platforms and any help, particularly with MIPS would be much appreciated. This is blocking the kernel updates at this point.
- We’re starting to see problems as distros enable seccomp in file which then conflicts with our use of pseudo. We need to come up with a better fix but for now, a wrapper script which adds “-S” to the command line for file, injected into PATH is a workaround.
- There is continued concern about the number of recurring/intermittent failures in the automated testing, mostly from selftest and testimage.
- There is a separate email about buildtools tarballs continuing toolchains to support building on wider combinations of host distros, please see that for more info if interested in this.
- We continue to struggle to get clean ‘full’ builds.
- The triage team is worried about attendance at triage meetings and the project is finding it hard to find people to help fix bugs. If anyone is willing to work on bugs, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
