*YP 4.0.3 was released
*YP 3.1.19 was released
*YP 3.1.19 has been built and is in QA
*We are now at feature freeze for 4.1 but M3 has not been built yet.
*We are now at feature freeze for 4.1.
*We are trying to prepare for the M3 build but the status of too many issues remains uncertain. In particular:
*The 4.1 build is planned as soon as we resolve the status of some pending patches. The known remaining issues are the rust automated tests, layer setup changes and gcc and rust version upgrades. We also need to fix some autobuilder errors such as the llvm reproducibility issue with mesa.
**llvm buildpaths patch was requested to be rewritten and the rewrite doesn’t work
*Several patch series have been problematic in the last week which has put strain on our infrastructure, particularly the binutils upgrade.
**rust ppc patch was deemed incorrect
*The CVE count for master rose sharply again this week due to multiple issues in vim and tiff. The vim issues have been patched, tiff hasn’t as yet.
**layer setup changes didn’t test successfully
*We have seen a sharp rise in the number of patches in OE-Core, particularly related to changes in new clang versions. Many of these have been submitted upstream and/or have good reasons for being present but we need to continue to work to reduce our patch burden.
**rust SDK relocation patch is still in progress
**concerns were raised over the rust crossbeam-utils atomics workaround
*In addition, several other high priority (release blocking) bugs were identified in bug triage, particularly issues which are occurring intermittently but regularly and hence causing failed builds. Richard and Ross own the majority but can’t handle all these at once and rather depressingly, there was nobody to take ownership of some of them. The current list of open high bugs:
**perl builds hanging indefinitely: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14902
**cve checking crashing intermittently with database issues: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14899
**ptest in gcrypt intermittently but regularly failing on arm: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14800
**build path corruption when llvm is used to build mesa: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14897
**ptest infrastructure issue which stops us debugging an intermittent failure in lttng: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14901
**intermittent rust SDK host library corruption: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14892
**no automated mechanism to compare releases for ptest regressions: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14897
*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
