Potential Yocto Project 1.3 Features

Yocto Project 1.3 - Target release = Oct. 2012

Yocto Project 1.3 Themes

The Yocto Project 1.3 Themes include:

  1. Continuity / Refresh:
    1. The usual keeping up to date with various upstream project, continue to work on the quality of the metadata and keeping up to date with bug fixing.
  2. Stabilization & Adoption:
    1. We've introduced a lot of changes. I think now may be a good time to catch our breath so to speak and ensure everything is complete, functional, well tested and has the right level of polish.
    2. We also need to encourage adoption of the project by OSV and Silicon Vendors and look at ways we can advance and integrate Shoeleather-type board labs (from semis and OSVs).
  3. Usability:
    1. Introduce WebHob?
    2. Continue improving error messages
    3. Reserve time to jump on usability issues as they come up

Areas to improve for 1.3 release

  1. SState improvements (file urls, overwriting files checks)
  2. Init system overhaul (optional systemd support?)
  3. Performance improvements (postinstall handling, rootfs generation speedups)
  4. Multilib bug fixes
  5. Complete multilib recipe enablement and automated sanity tests
  6. Bitbake test suite
  7. Build history web UI
  8. Autobuilder Improvements
