Potential Yocto 1.1 Features

Yocto 1.1 - Target release = October 2011

This page contains a list of Yocto 1.1 features. In early March, the Yocto Architect will issue an official call for Yocto 1.1 features. This list contains reprioritized items from 1.0 or features that came up as a result of discussions among Yocto engineers. If you have a feature you would like to see added, send an email to the Yocto Architect with a description of the feature, its impat on the source code, and whether you are willing to help write the code to implement the feature. The Yocto Architect will add this to the potential Yocto 1.1 Features list. The potential Yocto 1.1 Features list will be turned into the Yocto Features List as described in the Program Management Plan.

Process for Entering New Feature Requests

  • Create a new entry in the appropriate feature table below (Poky, SDK, Hardware)
    • Suggestion: start by copying an existing request as a template
  • Give the feature a short, descriptive name
  • Provide a one or two sentence brief description of the feature
  • Set the priority as appropriate (see the legend below)
  • Set the Status to "Review"
  • In the Source field, enter your name along with the origination of the request (e.g. OSV, OEM, Community) if applicable; provide as much detail here as you can
  • In the Comments / Bugzilla field, provide any additional information for the request, such as a link to a bugzilla entry
  • Preview your Entry to make sure it looks ok and then save it

Legend

Priority: 1 = Must Have, 2 = Nice to Have, 3 = Optional

Status: Accept = Engineering agreement to include in release, Review = Under Review for Inclusion in this release, Reject = Will not be included in this release

QA Items

Feature Name Description Priority Status Source Comments / Bugzilla Links
QA Framework Enhancements
  • Add test for unfs_qemu bootup in the sanity test framework and give Liping his patch (Jiajun)
  • Help to define long-term flexible framework for SDK/meta-toolchain testing.. Under the test folder, we have different groups of test, such as sanity, SDK(tools), meta-toolchain. User could freely select which test cases they want to test. (Control granularity/level group? Or even a single case has a switch) (Jiajun)
  • More test-projects into existing manual test part for meta-toolchain. We should help to find the two typical projects, one c and o C++. (Jiajun)
  • Transform the meta-toolchain manual testing into the unified test-framework. (Liping)
  • Prepare a workable environment for testing all those newly added features. (Liping)
  • After sanity test framework is in the upstream, collect data when selecting different kinds of test components. (MeiLei)
