Yocto Project Weekly Status Aug. 10, 2021

Current Dev Position: YP 3.4 M3
Next Deadline: 23rd Aug. 2021 YP 3.4 M3 build (Feature Freeze)

Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 3.4 M2 was released
  • YP 3.3.2 has been through QA and is pending release approval
  • YP 3.1.10 is in QA
  • OE-Core has moved to the new override syntax and is now only compatible with the honister release series. Other layers will need to migrate to the new syntax to work with it. There is documentation about handling migration to the new syntax in the migration section of the manual:

http://docs.yoctoproject.org/migration-guides/migration-3.4.html#override-syntax-changes

  • The new override syntax is now also supported by older releases of bitbake on the 1.50, 1.48 and 1.46 branches, which mean this applies to dunfell. It will be part of the 3.1.11 release.
  • There is a fix to bitbake’s datastore pending which may cause a variable only set with conditional appends to change value from “” to None. DRIDRIVERS in the mesa recipe was the only example found in OE-Core and it is hoped this issue is rare. The fix is important due to interaction issues with other variables in some other use cases and this makes things consistent.
  • The prserv rewrite is making progress but still has some issues with python asyncio.
  • Intermittent issues are ongoing, particularly ptest ones. Help is very much welcome on these 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
  • The multiconfig changes in bitbake continue to cause problems, we still need simpler test cases to reproduce issues rather than huge builds. The existing patches seem to fix some workloads and break others and current test cases are very slow to work with.
