Key Status/Updates:
- We’re now in feature freeze for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
- We have built M3 and this is due from QA on Thursday
- The main unresolved issue for 3.0 is with the hash equivalence server causing problems with the eSDK and this issue is being investigated but can’t be reproduced as yet.
- We also want to find a better solution to the systemd timeout problem before final release.
- A significant performance problem has been found on the autobuilder where some builds are scaling in time badly as the sstate cache grows, taking 12 hours or more in some cases. Unfortunately nobody seems motivated to help work on this kind of issue.
- The plan for M4 is to resolve the above issues and any issues raised from M3 QA, then proceed with the main release rc builds. The first M4 build is scheduled for next week.
- If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.
