Key Status/Updates:

• The project is about to build M4 rc1 once some final tweaks have been tested and merged (details below).
• Known issues that have been or are to be addressed before M4 rc1 is built:
  • Strace kernel timeout problems - the issue has now been reproduced and understood upstream and a patch has been found to address the issue. We therefore plan to include this in M4 rc1 (thanks Bruce)
  • We upgraded to a new uninative version to ensure compatibility with distros shipping glibc 2.30 (thanks Michael/Armin).
  • We resolved the systemd hwdb postinst script issues (thanks Ross)
• The eSDK performance issue has been worked around but removal of old sstate artefacts on the system however we ultimately do need to improve the code (will target 3.1).
• If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.
