Key Status/Updates:

  • Stephen is unavailable at the moment, please refer any queries to Richard
  • YP 2.6.2 was rebuilt as rc4 to include the boost upgrade revert and is due to be released today. The YP 2.6.2 rc3/4 report is summarized at https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2019-April/044827.html and the results are at https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/releases/yocto-2.6.2.rc4/testresults/.
  • YP 2.5.3 is currently going through the QA process.
  • We’re sad to announce that we will be removing eclipse plugin builds from the autobuilder and will not be including the plugin in any future project releases. This is due to a lack of anyone able to help work on the plugin development, bug fixing or release.
  • The key fixes mentioned in last week’s status have been merged into 2.7.
  • A key bug in pseudo was identified which may be the root cause of the long standing glibc-locale uid “host contamination” issue. Many thanks to Peter and Otavio for the help in debugging that. A separate fix should also ensure pseudo works with newer distro coreutils and glibc versions.
  • YP 2.7 rc2 (warrior) was built successfully and is currently going through the QA process after 2.5.3 is done.
  • The ptest results in 2.7 are much more stable than ever before with results being consistent from build to build. At the start of 2.8 we can make some further improvements so we take advantage of this and build upon it to reduce regressions in the system.
  • In an effort to keep the patch queue under control, patches are merging to master.
  • The list of issues from last week of worrying things we lack resources to improve upon remains:
    • Intermittent autobuilder failures (fork running out of resources - which resources?, oe-selftest intermittent issues, gpg signing resource problems, occasional PR server failure and more)
    • Build-appliance testing issues (show up on each QA report across multiple releases)
    • 40% valgrind ptest failures
    • Known bitbake memory resident bugs
    • Other ptest failures
  • The 2.8 planning discussions are starting and there is a google doc summarising the discussions so far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CNEKA4d0eT6-e0hnS2pwi7xdZ5_t6smpZO2HbaJGXbU/
  • If people are planning to work on specific things in 2.8 please let us know so we can incorporate this into our plans. If you’re interested in working on anything in the document, please also let us know or talk with us in one of the planning meetings.
