Key Status/Updates:

  • 2.8 M1 is nearly upon us with just under a week left for the remaining features/patches.
  • Stephen continues to be unavailable, please refer any queries to Richard
  • Mailing lists are moving to groups.io instead of our current mailman setup. This shouldn’t impact users directly, more details will be sent to the mailing lists before the transfer. THe Yocto Project lists will move first, followed by OE, likely a week later.
  • We have a new “newcomer” bug category which are bugs suited to someone new to the project. These can be seen here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs
  • Uninative 2.5 was released which supports gcc 9. This should fix issues for fedora 30 builds and allow the bringup of fedora 30 workers in the autobuilder too.
  • ARM native builds are now working on the autobuilder as well as KVM accelerated ARM ptest and ltp testing.
  • There are ongoing concerns about perl module dependencies. Tim and Richard have applied bandaids to solve some ptest issues but we really need work in this area if there are any perl experts interested.
  • Many further ptests fixes have merged, thanks to all for the contributions.
