Key Status/Updates:

·        YP 2.3 M3 rc2 is in QA.  The live status is at: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.3_QA_Status#Summary_Report

·        Unfortunately QA have run into issues running some tests where PR Server log output is corrupting the test results (bug 11284) caused by some of the tinfoil logging changes. We’re hoping to be able to work around this for the current QA run since its currently blocking many tests.

·        We also continue to see a large number of issues around sysroot tools like runqemu after the recipe specific sysroot changes which continue to be worked upon, particularly with interactions like other code, e.g. rm_work.

·        On a positive note, the autobuilder performance does seem to be much improved now we’ve identified some performance issues in a number of areas including the tests themselves.

·        Patches continue to flow at a high rate into the branch but we are going to have to start being more selective about which patches improve stability/quality as some fixes are introducing regressions and defects in submitted patches continue to take up a lot of review and testing time.

·        Since we’re into the stabilization phase of 2.3, planning for 2.4 has begun and we’re entering 2.4 ideas and enhancements in to bugzilla. If you have suggestions for 2.4, please ensure they are in bugzilla.
