Yocto Project Weekly Status January 3rd, 2023

Current Dev Position: YP 4.2 M2
Next Deadline: 23rd January 2023 YP 4.2 M2 Build

Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 4.2 M1 and YP 4.0.6 passed QA and are due for release.
  • Builds on the autobuilder are problematic at present due to connection losses with the controller machine. We understand the cause and will be migrating the controller to a new server/location to address this.
  • That, combined with OOM issues from recent bitbake cache changes meant patches are merging more slowly this week.
  • There are a number of bitbake patches pending which are a bit more invasive than usual. These are aiming to address:
    • memory issues seen with the recent cache changes and bitbake -S
    • UI hangs where the bitbake server has crashed/hung or otherwise failed
    • issues where bitbake may have removed another server instances bitbake.sock network socket file
    • console interaction issues where bitbake may not respond to Ctrl+C
    • event handler race issues around datastore accesses
  • The OE TSC decided in favour of adding export flag expansion despite the performance impact so that patch will be queued.
  • CVE levels in master are concerning again
  • With some debugging, the bitbake.sock disappearance was potentially identified and also issues with OOM process killing locking up bitbake’s server and UI were studied.
  • We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
  • There will be no status report next week, the next will be 3rd January 2023.
