Key Status/Updates:

·        The recipe specific sysroots changes has caused fallout in various areas although given the invasiveness of the change, the fallout so far hasn’t been too bad and should be fixable. Master has a number of bug fixes and improvements added to help address some of the issues.

·        Unfortunately the recipe specific sysroots change does have some significant performance implications. Some measures to mitigate these have been committed, others are worked on but it seems unlikely we’ll be able to achieve the pre-rss performance as the individual sysroots do have some overhead. We’re considering disabling/removing .la files as one measure which may gain back some performance (since .la files commonly need sed fixups each time a new sysroot is generated).

·        The 2.2.1 release will now happen after M2.

·        Patch merging continues to be slow due to continued failure and instability of the ubuntu1404 autobuilder worker (seems to be OS related).

·        QA on M2-rc1 is ongoing, nothing blocking has been found as yet but the rss fixes in master may be a reason to consider an rc2.
