Yocto Project Weekly Status April 9, 2019

Current Dev Position: YP 2.7 M4 (New feature Freeze has begun.)
Next Deadline: YP 2.7 M3 Release Target was Mar. 8, 2019 and it should release today

SWAT Team Rotation:

Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 2.7 M3 rc1 will be released today. The YP 2.7 M3 rc1 report is summarized at https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2019-April/044667.html and the results are at https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/releases/yocto-2.7_M3.rc1/testresults/.
  • YP 2.5.3 and YP 2.6.2 stable releases were built and have been submitted to QA
  • YP 2.6.2 is currently going through the QA process with YP 2.5.3 queued behind it.
  • Process issues in the way ptest was being processed by QA have been discovered which mean the previous ptest results are not comparable with the new QA process. For consistency going forward we will be using the new QA process as the definitive results and will be comparing for regressions based upon these.
  • The “warrior” branches for 2.7 have been created and the metadata updated, patches are being slowed in line with release stablisation with increasingly critical fixes only.
  • The remaining things which are planned for YP 2.7 M4 before we have the final 2.7 rc1 build are:
    • Upgrading -tiny to the 5.0 linux-yocto kernel (currently 4.18)
    • Removal of the 4.18 kernel
    • Fixing the python3 ptest timeout and result status issues
    • Fixing some of the util-linux ptest failures
    • Potentially integrating a key and long time puzzling pseudo issue
    • Integrating qemumips shutdown issues identified in the kernel
    • Continue to investigate python3 testsuite hang on 5.0+ kernels (trying to get help upstream)
  • Worrying things which we don’t have good plans for currently (mainly lack of people to help with):
    • Intermittent autobuilder failures (fork running out of resources - which resources?, oe-selftest intermittent issues, gpg signing resource problems, occasional PR server failure and more)
    • Build-appliance testing issues (show up on each QA report across multiple releases)
    • 40% valgrind ptest failures
    • Known bitbake memory resident bugs
    • Other ptest failures
  • The 2.8 planning discussions are starting and there is a google doc summarising the discussions so far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CNEKA4d0eT6-e0hnS2pwi7xdZ5_t6smpZO2HbaJGXbU/
  • If people are planning to work on specific things in 2.8 please let us know so we can incorporate this into our plans. If you’re interested in working on anything in the document, please also let us know or talk with us in one of the planning meetings.

  • YP 2.7 M4 Cutoff is Apr. 1, 2019
  • YP 2.7 M4 Release Target is Apr. 26, 2019
