Yocto Project Weekly Status March 19th, 2024
Current Dev Position: YP 5.0 M4 - Final Release
Next Deadline: 1st April 2024 YP 5.0 M4 build
Next Team Meetings:
- Bug Triage meeting Thursday March 21st at 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)
- Weekly Engineering Sync Tuesday March 19th at 8 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09)
- Twitch - See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester
Key Status/Updates:
- YP 5.0 M3 has been through QA. There is one major issue, we will likely release M3 and fix that in M4.
- YP 4.0.17 is in QA.
- There is a regression on beaglebone testing where X is no longer starting which was found during M3 QA. Fixes are under discussion for this and will be in M4.
- A key worry now is the documentation for the release, especially given it is an LTS. There are emails on the docs list about this, help is much appreciated.
- The opkg lock issue with systemd images continues to be a significant concern for the release. We do now have a way to reproduce the bug and it is due to “opkg configure” being executed in a postinstall script whilst opkg install has the lock.
- There is a uninative issue showing up with newer distros due to the glibc changes where the pthread library is no longer separate. There are patches in testing to try and mitigate against this.
- There are multiple other failures occurring on the autobuilder but no specific pattern has been identified as yet. One test build had 4 different failures, and 2 of them were new never seen before issues. There is also some kind of issue with devtool/recipe tool test isolation in selftest which needs to be tracked down.
- The previously reported CVE database update issue has been mitigated for now but further improvements to the autobuilder process for generating the metrics may still be needed.
Ways to contribute:
- As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
- There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
- There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
- We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
- Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent 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.
- Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
- We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
