| ''' FEATURE FREEZE for 2.5 has passed ''' | | '''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/> |
| | *YP 5.0 rc1 is building but has many (6+) failures in the build so will have to be abandoned. |
| | *The final dunfell build will follow 5.0 into QA. |
| | *The master branch has diverged from scarthgap. |
| | *For 5.0, we were able to switch to the new hash equivalence server however the need for websockets complicated the worker configuration and needed new buildtools tarball versions which are causing various problems. |
| | *During the rc1 build as well as pip and setuptools issues within buildtools, we also saw a qemuppc boot issue, an instance of the spdx dependency problem, an sstate mirror issue and a github network error. This highlights how important fixing these is over the release cycle. The volume of these may impact our ability to maintain the LTS. |
| | *Thanks to everyone who sent documentation patches, we’re in much better shape with the migration guide and release notes now. Further improvements are still very welcome. |
| | *The “Binary Distro” work is now well underway and there are PR Server passthrough and image testing patches under review. The wiki page has had a number of policy/process proposals documented, help is welcome to help improve these, or highlight where further documentation is needed. |
| | *There are patches for improving the build performance graphs in review. Sample output from the changes is here and here. |
| | *There are also patches under review for the patch/cve metrics page to improve the usability. |
| | *We continue to watch the NIST NVD (CVE database) situation, the recent update didn’t clarify much. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a clear path forward as yet but using data directly from MITRE may help give partial information. These issues are making it hard to know what to include in the 5.0 release as it isn’t clear which changes are security related. |

| | *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: 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! |
| https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Build_Failure_Swat_Team | | *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. |

| '''Key Status/Updates:''' | | '''YP 5.0 Milestone Dates:'''<br/> |
| YP 2.5 M2 was released February 27. | | *YP 5.0 is building |
| This milestone release includes CVE fixes and 60 recipe upgrades. It incorporates security fixes with upgrades to gcc and kernels to all current stable versions. Headline changes include reproducibility improvements, gettext build performance, image generation, and cmake using Ninja by default. This release added gobject-introspection tests to testimage, integrated support for the Meson build system, Python build/packaging refactoring, and redesigned postinstall script handling.
| | *YP 5.0 M4 Release date 2024/04/30 |
| YP 2.2.3 was released February 27. | |
| A total of 97 CVE fixes and other fixes to work with GCC 7 on newer host OSs.
| |
| We have committed to a 2.2.4 release to integrate all remaining security fixes.
| |
| YP 2.4.2 RC2 came out of QA today (report at https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW10_-_2018-03-05-_Full_Test_Cycle_-_2.4.2_rc2)
| |
| YP 2.5 M3 is in final feature freeze. Reviewing last week’s required features:
| |
| 2.27 glibc upgrade has been merged. This meant making SDK changes so they’re all ~50M larger now thanks to the need to ship locales. However the same underlying code could be reused to generate locale archives in images, which will make those smaller.
| |
| kernel-devsrc size reduction: the blocking issue has been resolved so waiting for an updated patch.
| |
| pseudo upgrade has been merged which should solve many issues, and Peter is investigating the long-standing host contamination issue.
| |
| Still need to resolve the multilib SDK patch series.
| |
| Package feed filtering has been merged.
| |
| Image EFI configuration rework under review now.
| |
| Performance metrics indicate that a recent merge has caused a slowdown in build times. It is suspected that the glibc upgrade is the cause of this although help would be appreciated to verify this.
| |
| Flood of last-minute upgrades continuing to be reviewed and merged if low-impact.
| |
| Go upgrade/improvements are under review, possibly we’ll ship both Go 1.9.4 and 1.10 in 2.5 but do plan to drop 1.9.4 from master as soon as 1.10 doesn’t present compatibility problems.
| |
| We’re continuing to work on the autobuilder changes and for various reasons (inc. changes in people). We would be in much better shape to switch to the new codebase before release, rather than waiting until early 2.6 to pick this work up again by which time we’d have lost people and context. If we are to switch, we need to build M3 with the new infrastructure. We plan to make this switch for M3.

| Key Status/Updates:
| |
| YP 2.5 M2 is through QA and likely to be released early this week.
| |
| YP 2.2.3 is through QA and likely to be released early this week.
| |
| YP 2.4.2 rc2 was successfully built and is undergoing QA.
| |
| YP 2.5 M3 is feature freeze. After discussions with various people we concluded that we need:
| |
| the 2.27 glibc upgrade
| |
| kernel-devsrc size changes
| |
| to resolve some of the outstanding pseudo bugs
| |
| to resolve the multilib SDK patch series
| |
| the package feed filtering patch series (the multilib SDK series depends on it)
| |
| image EFI configuration rework
| |
| We plan to defer:
| |
| pkg-conf vs. pkgconfig issues/discussion
| |
| profile guided optimisation for python (patch series)
| |
| oe-selftest parallelization
| |
| We’re continuing to work on the autobuilder changes and for various reasons (inc. changes in people). We would be in much better shape to switch to the new codebase before release, rather than waiting until early 2.6 to pick this work up again by which time we’d have lost people and context. If we are to switch, we need to build M3 with the new infrastructure. We’ll have to make a decision on whether we do this during this week.

| |
| | |
| Key Status/Updates:
| |
| YP 2.5 M2 is 97% through QA. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.5_QA_Status
| |
| YP 2.2.3 is also mostly through QA. See https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.2_QA_Status
| |
| We build 2.4.2 rc1 however rapidly moving kernel updates combined with QA not having started on rc1 yet meant we decided to build rc2, pulling in further kernel security fixes (as well as others like openssl). rc2 is currently being built and should enter QA today assuming a successful build.
| |
| autobuilder.yoctoproject.org continues to be unavailable as we continue to develop the new autobuilder codebase to replace the current heavily customized buildbot one.
| |
| We managed to shrink the ltp package size which unblocked some patch merging. Bruce has been working on changes to kernel-devsrc to significantly reduce its size.
| |
| The glibc change continues to be blocked on locale issues which may prove tricky to resolve and will block M3 as we need the glibc upgrade for various reasons.
| |
| We have some key decisions to make about the conflicting native of pkg-conf and pkgconfig. Maxin has a patch series which exposes the issues.
| |
| There are problems with the changes to pseudo’s master branch verses the patches we have against the recipe.
| |
| Please note that we are very close to M3 which is feature freeze, technically, feature freeze was yesterday. We’re not in a position to build M3 yet but if there are features you expect to see in 2.5, please highlight those patches ASAP. We are drawing up a list of “must haves” for the release and if we don’t know about it, it likely won’t be on it.

| |
| | |
| Key Status/Updates:
| |
| YP 2.5 M2 is currently undergoing QA and nearly complete. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.5_QA_Status
| |
| YP 2.2.3 is also mostly through QA. See https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.2_QA_Status.
| |
| Holidays mean that QA is slowed, we will QA 2.4.2 as soon as they return.
| |
| autobuilder.yoctoproject.org continues to be unavailable as we continue to develop the new autobuilder codebase to replace the current heavily customized buildbot one.
| |
| Some positive performance news is that by removing the “fetchall” and “checkuriall” tasks, we were able to take “bitbake core-image-sato -g” from 20s to around 8s. The speedup comes from the runqueue calculation so most builds will benefit from this speedup. The tasks are replaced by a dedicated bitbake option, --runall=<taskname>.
| |
| Kernel updates have been blocked as some image sizes have overflowed the maximum allowed image sizes. We’re working on figuring out how to resolve that, likely by stripping ltp and/or optimising the kernel-devsrc recipe if possible.
| |
| The glibc change is blocked on various build failures the code seems to trigger as well as issues with gplv2 vs gplv3 patches for meta-gplv2.
| |
| | |
| Planned upcoming dot releases:
| |
| YP 2.4.2 (Rocko) will be built shortly, once there is QA bandwidth available.
| |
| YP 2.3.4 (Pyro) will be built when we figure out gcc backports.
| |

| |
| | |
| Key Status/Updates:
| |
| YP 2.5 M2 has been built and is pending QA. The M2 milestone contains the linux-yocto kernel backports and gcc upgrade for the spectre and meltdown security issues.
| |
| YP 2.2.3 is mostly through QA, some issues have been identified with newer host distro releases; however, these are likely something we’d address with 2.2.4.
| |
| autobuilder.yoctoproject.org continues to be unavailable as we continue to develop the new autobuilder codebase to replace the current heavily customized buildbot one.
| |
| There are some changes to runqueue in bitbake about to land (currently in -next) which bring some risk of dependency problems in recrdeptask and recideptask handling, it's worth keeping in mind if task dependencies issues appear shortly after those merge.
| |
| | |
| Planned upcoming dot releases:
| |
| YP 2.4.2 (Rocko) will be built shortly, once there is QA bandwidth available.
| |
| YP 2.3.4 (Pyro) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches are ready.
| |
| YP 2.2.3 (Morty) rc2 is in QA, see https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.2_QA_Status. This will not contain the spectre/meltdown patches as they’re not ready yet.

| We will likely consolidate a few further patches (such as genericx86 and other meta-yotcto-bsp updates) and then build and QA both 2.5 M2 and 2.4.2.
| |
| Work on the autobuilder changes continues but means autobuilder.yoctoproject.org is not being used in production (autobuilder.yocto.io aka ‘the new cluster’) is.
| |
| There were a number of lock related issues with the yocto.io builder over the weekend which are being investigated.
| |
| | |
| Planned upcoming dot releases:
| |
| YP 2.4.2 (Rocko) will be built shortly.
| |
| YP 2.3.4 (Pyro) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches are ready.
| |
| YP 2.2.3 (Morty) rc1 is in QA, see https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.2_QA_Status. This will not contain the spectre/meltdown patches as they’re not ready yet.
| |
| | |
| Key YP 2.5 Dates are:
| |
| YP 2.5 M2 cut off is past, it should be built shortly.
| |
| YP 2.5 M2 release of 1/26/18
| |
| YP 2.5 M3 cut off of 2/19/18
| |
| YP 2.5 M3 release of 3/2/18

| |
| | |
| Key Status/Updates:
| |
| YP 2.5 M1 rc3 is out of QA and should be released imminently. There were some minor issues but we’ll address these as part of M2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW03_-_2018-1-18-_Full_Test_Cycle_-_2.5_M1_rc3 and see: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v2.5_Status#Milestone_1_-_Target_Dec._15.2C_2017
| |
| With a round of security released fixes likely to land shortly, we’ll likely wait for these before we roll M2.
| |
| The Automatic Upgrade Helper (AUH) ran, now based on devtool functionality and testing against a wider set of architectures and build options. This looks likely to easy recipe maintenance and increase productivity for people and I’d like to thank Alex for his work on this. There is much it could do better but it is continuing to evolve and become easier to use which is great to see.
| |
| The AUH emails have triggered a good batch of recipe upgrades. QEMU was also upgraded (which can often cause problems).
| |
| I sent out a separate summary of changes which are happening to the Autobuilder, people on the SWAT team need to be especially aware of this http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-architecture/2018-January/000694.html
| |
| The long queued python recipe changes including its manifest have landed. We tested this as far as we could in core and I know there is some fall out in other layers, help and patience to work through the issues is appreciated. Patches pending against the python recipes will need to be rebased and resent.
| |
| There have been some significant changes to cmake, ninja and meson and meson is now the default for some recipes. There were some significant gettext cleanups.
| |
| | |
| Planned upcoming dot releases:
| |
| YP 2.4.2 (Rocko) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches are ready.

| | |
| Key Status/Updates:
| |
| • 2.3.3 and 2.4.1 were released. These releases do not contain spectre/meltdown patches/fixes as those are still being worked on and haven’t merged yet.
| |
| • We are mostly up to date with patch queues although there are some bigger series which are still being tested/reviewed and are still pending
| |
| • Due to testing problems with 2.5 M1 rc3, it is still undergoing QA testing and is 90% complete. We are continuing to have some QA transition/infrastructure issues. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.5_QA_Status.
| |
| • A separate update on the spectre/meltdown status and the project has been sent out to the oe-core mailing list.
| |
| | |
| Planned upcoming dot releases:
| |
| YP 2.4.2 (Rocko) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches has been proven ready.
| |
| YP 2.3.4 (Pyro) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches has been proven ready.
| |
| YP 2.2.3 (Morty) rc1 is in QA, see https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.2_QA_Status. We are considering holding this release candidate and building another when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches has been proven ready.

| |
| | |
| Key Status/Updates:
| |
| • 2.3.3 and 2.4.1 are likely due to imminently release, we tracked down the performance regressions to some kind of infrastructure issue which is still being investigated.
| |
| • The automated testing issues have mostly been resolved now and this has meant we’ve run a series of builds for master and the stable release branches. As such, the backlog of patches against morty, pyro, rocko and master are substantially reduced after this weekend.
| |
| • Armin’s help with the stable patch queues is much appreciated.
| |
| • Due to testing problems with 2.5 M1 rc1, particular from the qemu APIC hangs, we have put a new build, rc3 into QA. The QA of YP 2.5 M1 rc3 is about 2% complete. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.5_QA_Status
| |
| • We’re aware there are some serious security issues around at the moment. We’ve been stalled partly as maintainers are returning from vacation, partly as fixes are only now becoming available. As fixes are available we will waterfall these into the branches. One of the reasons we’ve focused on clearing the other patches queued is so we can quickly test and merge these and then proceed with another set of point releases.

| |
| | |
| Key Status/Updates:
| |
| • Things have been slow over the holiday season but things should be back to normal by the end of this week.
| |
| • The QA of YP 2.4.1 rc1 is complete. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW51_-_2017-12-21-_Full_Test_Cycle_-_2.4.1_rc1.
| |
| • The QA of YP 2.3.3 rc1 is complete. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW51_-_2017-12-20-_Full_Test_Cycle_-_2.3.3_rc1.
| |
| • For 2.3.3 and 2.4.1 we have some questions about performance issues which the QA process potentially identified and we need to investigate these before any release can be made.
| |
| • The QA of YP 2.5 M1 rc1 is about 68% complete. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.5_QA_Status
| |
| • The QA of YP 2.2.3 rc1 is about 24% complete. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.2_QA_Status.
| |
| • The kvm apic hang is resolved for qemux86-64 with a workaround. The workaround doesn’t work for qemux86 but there is another patch pending to address this.
| |
| • We keep seeing phantom “inode space” issues with the NFS setup on the autobuilder across all releases. I think we’re likely to give in and change the disk space monitoring on the infrastructure to ignore this as its breaking too many builds and likely not worth tracking down further.
| |
| • There are other suspected repository concurrency issues on the infrastructure causing failures and we’ve disabled buildhistory to allow builds to work until that is resolved.
| |
| • We’re hopeful with these changes in place we can get some kind of build stability back and have a better chance at merging patches again.
