Yocto Project Weekly Status December 5th, 2023
Current Dev Position: YP 5.0 M1
Next Deadline: 4th December 2023 YP 5.0 M1 build
Next Team Meetings:
- Bug Triage meeting Thursday December 7th at 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)
- Weekly Engineering Sync Tuesday December 5th at 8 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09)
- Twitch - See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester
Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.2.4 and YP 4.3.1 have passed QA and are under discussion pending release
- The point releases are being held up due to issues with the regression reports and the number of intermittent failures seen during the release builds with the 4.3 series
- YP 5.0 M1 is due to build this week, we’ll likely do that after trying to address some of the current issues and patch queue
- An issue was found in the recent hash equivalence changes in bitbake which was causing large delays when there was heavy IO load due to sync() calls. There is a fix in bitbake master for this. It tended to affect users with slower spinning disks and not SSDs.
- The length of builds (world and oe-selftest) continues to be a concern.
- There is a significant change to runqueue being tested with regard to the handling of dependencies between setscene tasks. The patch should allow us to fix long standing issues with useradd functionality but it is hard to ensure all corner cases work correctly with the patch.
- The intermittent issues on the autobuilder are causing problems for master branch development and stable releases and this is slowing down patch testing and merging. We simply don't have enough people to fix the issues quickly enough and the people we do have are struggling. This is now slowly down point release approvals too as a knock on effect.
- Toaster now has UI support for importing existing command line builds, the patches are in testing on master-next and we do have some automated testing available on the autobuilder.
- The Yocto Project Summit was well attended and successful last week. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen!
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 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.
