Key Status/Updates:
- YP 3.1.19 was released
- We are now at feature freeze for 4.1 but M3 has not been built yet.
- We are trying to prepare for the M3 build but the status of too many issues remains uncertain. In particular:
- llvm buildpaths patch was requested to be rewritten and the rewrite doesn’t work
- rust ppc patch was deemed incorrect
- layer setup changes didn’t test successfully
- rust SDK relocation patch is still in progress
- concerns were raised over the rust crossbeam-utils atomics workaround
- In addition, several other high priority (release blocking) bugs were identified in bug triage, particularly issues which are occurring intermittently but regularly and hence causing failed builds. Richard and Ross own the majority but can’t handle all these at once and rather depressingly, there was nobody to take ownership of some of them. The current list of open high bugs:
- perl builds hanging indefinitely: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14902
- cve checking crashing intermittently with database issues: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14899
- ptest in gcrypt intermittently but regularly failing on arm: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14800
- build path corruption when llvm is used to build mesa: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14897
- ptest infrastructure issue which stops us debugging an intermittent failure in lttng: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14901
- intermittent rust SDK host library corruption: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14892
- no automated mechanism to compare releases for ptest regressions: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14897
- Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent 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 4.1 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_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.
