Key Status/Updates:
- We’re now in feature freeze for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
- Several key 3.0 changes have now merged:
- 5.2 linux-libc-kernel-headers
- 5.2 kernel recipes
- Removal of LSB and poky-lsb and replacement with alt config testing
- Patches have significantly reduced the dependency on python2
- Reproducible builds are now being tested for core-image-minimal
- There are the following changes still under discussion/testing:
- Systemd vs. sysvinit defaults (maybe for the poky alternative configuration tests)
- Making 5.2 the default kernel for qemu (has regressions, see below)
- Hashserv performance issue resolution
- Final configuration of hash equivalency
- toolchain testsuite patch series
- 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 is roughly up to date again
- We have several significant problematic bugs that are being worked on:
- 5.2 stap build issue on qemuarm
- 5.2 kprobes error message (qemuarm64, qemumips64)
- qemumips machine hang
