Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:

  • We are now a week away from feature freeze for 4.3.
  • YP 4.0.12 is pending TSC approval and due to release
  • YP 4.2.3 is in QA
  • We merged the 6.4 kernel and were able to resolve the preempt-rt issue (thanks Paul!) however intermittent hangs on qemuppc still remain as well as questions of x86 reliability on the autobuilder.
  • There are patches pending which remove source control revisions from PV and move them to PKGV, further simplifying WORKDIR paths and generally improving the code and the way AUTOREV works. This allows SRCPV to be removed as it is no longer needed. We believe all review discussion has been resolved at this point.
  • Intermittent autobuilder issues, autobuilder hardware problems and large numbers of very intensive rebuilds with low sstate reuse are causing challenges in keeping patches flowing. Some intermittent issues were identified and resolved.
  • Glibc 2.38 merged and a new uninative release was made.
  • We continue to see intermittent ptest failures for glib-networking and openssh, help would be much appreciated.
  • CVE metrics are still high but much reduced for master, thanks!
  • We’re happy to be able to announce that some of the work in the RFQ will now be progressing, specifically that:
    • Marta Rybczynska will be working on the security topic
    • Alexander Kanvin will be working on the core workflow topic
  • Other topic areas will likely be announced soon too.
