Key Status/Updates:

• YP 3.0.4 is going through QA at this time
• YP 3.2 M2 was released
• We’ve had a sharp increase in the autobuilder intermittent bugs
• 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 with any of these would be much appreciated, unfortunately it is proving hard to find anyone interested in helping figure these out and they significantly hamper our testing.
• One way to help the project is to help us with bugs that are currently unassigned but ideally needed during YP 3.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
• Help with any of the recent failed AUH recipe upgrades would also be appreciated. We’d also like to remind recipe maintainers to submit the successful upgrades.
• We are trying to drop the fcommon/fno-common hacks from gcc however there are still a number of failures it triggers, particularly in perf. Khem has done great work in fixing many of the issues already.
• Improved shell backtracing capability was added to bitbake, thanks Chris.
