Key Status/Updates:
-
YP 6.0 was released, thanks everyone who contributed!
-
YP 5.0.18 is in QA.
-
We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes
needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
-
Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic:
-
several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
-
sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
-
siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
-
groff build race issues
-
intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
-
Master (blacksail) is open for new development
-
We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto
Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs:
Yocto Project 6.1 Roadmap - Google Docs
-
We are updating the project’s security team and welcome nominations
and/or feedback:
https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119388716
-
Monday 25th May is a public holiday in the UK and USA so there will be
no patch review call.
Want to contribute? We would appreciate help with the following areas:
-
We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to
work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C
would be greatly appreciated.
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
-
There are a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder,
any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be
welcome! Yocto Project Dashboard: BugZilla Stats
-
Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe
maintainer. Please look at
maintainers.inc « include « distro « conf « meta - openembedded-core - OpenEmbedded Core layer
and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
