Key Status/Updates:
- We are now at feature freeze for YP 3.4
- Rust was merged into core, it was touch and go whether we could/would or not. Unfortunately there was an error found after merging with cargo-native on centos7 hosts which we still need to resolve before building M3.
- Fixes for glibc 2.34 and pseudo were merged however this uses a binary shim and isn’t an ideal way to solve the issues. We need to find a way to have active development on pseudo with investigation into possible replacement approaches.
- A kernel issue introduced in recent kernel module versioning changes needs to resolved before we can build M3.
- The glibc 2.34 upgrade caused issues with docker and the clone3 syscall returning EPERM instead of ENOSYS. We will likely have to add a workaround to our glibc until released versions of docker have the upstream fix.
- Intermittent issues are ongoing and help is very much welcome on these issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT
Ways to contribute:
- There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
- There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
- We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
