*YP M3 has been released
*YP 3.1.3 has been released.
*YP 3.1.3 is out of QA, there were questions about a failing ptest but those are due to a test issue, not a regression so its likely to be released imminently.
*We are now (over)due to build M4 rc1. There are currently three high bugs blocking the final M4 build, a buildtools issue where buildtools needs updating in the install script, a toaster issue with recent bitbake cooker process changes and a missing kea init script..
*We are now due to build M4 rc1. The builds will happen when the current pseudo issues are resolved to a suitable conclusion for the release.
*Major pseudo changes have been merged and are now testing cleanly on the testing infrastructure. The known community reported issues have also been resolved and a couple of underlying pseudo bugs discovered and fixed too. Interestingly there was around a 2GB reduction in the size of the pseudo databases for core-image-sato after the path filtering was added.
*As mentioned above, there is a continued concern about file mode corruption issues in pseudo. We do now have patches which reduce the corruption window by orders of magnitude by they don’t entirely remove the potential race. Test builds have been seeing issues in wic in particular and testing is ongoing to try and identify and fix the remaining issues.
*Victor did some great work in understanding why qemumips was so much slower than qemumips64 and by changing the number of TLBs (easy in software!). we were able to see a 40% speedup in 32 mips qemu test execution times. A further piece of good news is upstream look willing to add functionality which lets us configure the number of TLBs so we shouldn’t have to maintain anything out of tree, thanks Victor!
*Unfortunately, intermittent autobuilder issues are still occurring, whilst reducing in frequency and number, possibly due to less frequency full rebuilds. 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.
