*YP 4.3.2 is in QA
*YP 5.0 M2 is due to build this week
*Rust was upgraded from 1.71.1 to 1.74.1 in master. 1.75 has reproducibility issues.
*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.
*We were able to remove all exclusions on reproducibility in OE-Core and it is once again 100% reproducible.
*EXPORT_FUNCTIONS is defined as mapping to those ‘namespaced’ functions only if there isn’t a real definition of that function.
*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.
*The inherit_defer changes will likely merge into M2.
*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.
*There has been at least one serial issue that reappeared with the 6.6 kernel on the autobuilder unfortunately.
*We have switched to the 6.6 linux kernel
*A bug was fixed in the bitbake –runall option where it wasn’t building as much as it should have.
*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.
*The recipe reporting system on the layer index is now functional again, thanks Tim!
*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.
