Key Status/Updates:

  • We’re now in feature freeze for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
  • There are the following planned features which are still under consideration for 3.0:
    • Systemd vs. sysvinit defaults (maybe for the poky alternative configuration tests)
    • Removal of LSB and poky-lsb and replacement with alt config testing
    • Final configuration of hash equivalency
  • The sstate hash equivalency continues to have challenges:
    • we need to rework the client/server communication to scale to the autobuilder
    • there are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to expose
    • we have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour should be
    • test cases are proving to be problematic to write in a maintainable way
  • Patch merging has been delayed due to vacations (RP and Ross) so the final feature patches aren’t resolved yet.
  • If anyone has any status items for the proj
