'''SWAT Team Rotation:'''<br/>
'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
*Bug Triage meeting Thursday April 11th at 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)

'''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.


*SWAT lead is currently: Ross
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*SWAT team rotation: Ross -> Amanda on Aug. 9, 2019
*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!
*SWAT team rotation: Amanda -> Chen on Aug. 16, 2019
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Build_Failure_Swat_Team
*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.

*YP 5.1 M3 Build date 2024-08-26
*Patches to bitbake to enable the task scheduler to react to “equivalent” build output have merged. There is more information about this major change in a separate email:
*YP 5.1 M3 Release date 2024-09-06
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2019-August/285300.html

*In making some of these changes, there were some API changes in bitbake, notably the removal of the bb.build.FuncFailed exception, the signature generator task representation changed and there were some siggen function API changes.
libx11-diet was removed as its not really appropriate on a modern locale aware system.
