*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.
*In the last week long standing bugs were fixed, such as being able to use the devupstream class with natively extended recipes, some bitbake hangs in unusual situations with cleanups to the error paths around this and improvements to LTO with regard to binary reproducibility.

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 3.3.2 was released
  • YP 3.1.10 is due to be released imminently

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

  • There has been at least one important bug fix to the overrides syntax change in OE-Core but in general layers do seem to be migrating over and there has been a lot of positive feedback about making this change from a readability perspective. Some additional variables were converted for consistency too.
  • In the last week long standing bugs were fixed, such as being able to use the devupstream class with natively extended recipes, some bitbake hangs in unusual situations with cleanups to the error paths around this and improvements to LTO with regard to binary reproducibility.
  • 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 pending in master-next for a long time were merged as the approach used is better overall. If anyone still sees multiconfig scheduling bugs, please report those.
