Key Status/Updates:
-
YP 6.1 M2 is due for release
-
There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could
now help, as detailed in
https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
-
Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
<https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13908>
-
aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in
both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done
and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual
fix.
-
Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
-
other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
-
sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
-
siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
-
intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
-
Some class cleanups were merged which did require tweaks to some
metadata:
-
Making sure you're not a bot!
-
See the “The series does break some things, notably” section
-
Some invasive LICENSE changes have merged into master:
-
We now require the LICENSE field to match SPDX identifiers.
-
The build will issue warnings when this isn’t the case.
-
Non SPDX licenses will need to be of the form LicenseRef-XXX
-
CLOSED is no longer a valid value.
-
‘WITH’ license exceptions are now supported
Big thanks to Joshua for getting us to the point where we can finally clean
this up!
-
We continue to work on the backlog of patches which has slightly reduced
and we’re trying to catch up with AUH updates.
-
Toolchain upgrades merged to glibc and bintuils with many other recipe
version updates too.
-
Rust is now using a shared work directory which reduces disk usage
significantly.
-
There have been further important fixes in pseudo which were included in
the latest upgrade.
-
The new uninative does not have i686 build host support. This will mean
i686 build host support with uninative will no longer be possible out the
box when that is merged to the LTS branches. It is unlikely anyone should
be using that!
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.
