*YP 3.3 M3 is due to build soon, we are now at feature freeze
*Reproducibility has improved over the last week with a number of fixes added meaning the exclusion list has been significantly reduced. Many of the fixes were accepted by upstream projects too. The remaining reproducibility issues now have bugs open in bugzilla. In particular, meson and ruby have intermittent issues, perf and ovmf have hardcoded path problems and ltp whilst improved, still appears to have issues. https://www.yoctoproject.org/reproducible-build-results/
*M3 has not been built yet whilst the status of various pending patches was ascertained and several bugs investigated. A key runqueue bug in bitbake was finally identified and resolved, other seeming state manifest issues were traced to a bad patch. There is a performance regression which still needs debugging and fixing. We also need to get a better understanding of autobuilder load issues triggering intermittent failures although that may be deferred to M4.
*Infrastructure issues around diffoscope and performance of reproducibility tests have been fixed, both by us and upstream diffoscope which should resolve delays in builds and improve testing throughput.
*It looks like the rust addition patches will be deferred to 3.4, as will the PR server changes.
*Looking through some of the patches in the “Pending” state, we have some really old stale ones which really need decisions to be made about their future. It would help a lot if recipe maintainers could review recipe patchsets and upstream them or remove them if they are no longer relevant.  
*Reproducibility is trending well for this release at 99.83% with a remaining intermittent issue in ltp due to be fixed imminently. Meson and ruby have intermittent issues, ovmf has a hardcoded path and much progress has been made in resolving the perf issues so hopefully that will be fixed soon. The only other issue is Go Language related.

Yocto Project Weekly Status Mar. 9, 2021

Current Dev Position: YP 3.3 Feature Freeze
Next Deadline: 1st March 2021 YP 3.3 M3 build

Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 3.3 M3 is due to build soon, we are now at feature freeze
  • M3 has not been built yet whilst the status of various pending patches was ascertained and several bugs investigated. A key runqueue bug in bitbake was finally identified and resolved, other seeming state manifest issues were traced to a bad patch. There is a performance regression which still needs debugging and fixing. We also need to get a better understanding of autobuilder load issues triggering intermittent failures although that may be deferred to M4.
  • It looks like the rust addition patches will be deferred to 3.4, as will the PR server changes.
  • Reproducibility is trending well for this release at 99.83% with a remaining intermittent issue in ltp due to be fixed imminently. Meson and ruby have intermittent issues, ovmf has a hardcoded path and much progress has been made in resolving the perf issues so hopefully that will be fixed soon. The only other issue is Go Language related.

  • “Pending” state patch review is still needed, we have some really old stale ones which really need decisions to be made about their future. It would help a lot if recipe maintainers could review recipe patchsets and upstream them or remove them if they are no longer relevant.
  • Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur and are now at a record high level. 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
