Key Status/Updates:

·        The 2.2.1 release has been held up by a bug in eSDK which we now know was ‘fixed’ by some of the tinfoil2 changes. Those clearly won’t be backported to 2.2 so we’re looking into what we need to do to fix this in 2.2 instead.

·        Master has continued to be problematic to merge patches into. We have tracked down a glibc 2.25 issue with python3 on older hosts (e.g. centos7) which was causing some hard to isolate autobuilder failures.

·        The M2 deadline has now passed. We were able to merge the oeqa rewrite and recipe specific sysroot patches. Unfortunately as yet we still don’t know the exact performance impact of this change but we’ve opted to move forward with it regardless.

·        Master now contains all the patches we’ve been able to get to work cleanly. Examples of things which did not merge are the linux-libc-headers (due to musl issues) but we did merge the actual kernel updates and the container changes as the selftests didn’t pass.

·        Since master builds cleanly and has a lot of change in as it stands, we’re tempted just to call this good for M2 and start the QA cycle.

·        One particular challenge we continue to face is the length of time oe-selftest takes to run and we plan to have a focus on this during M3.
