Key Status/Updates:

·        There is no real change to the status from last week. We continue to suffer intermittent build failures and are continuing to attempt to debug these.

·        Currently open issues are:

o   qemuppc continues to demonstrate random hangs in boot  in userspace

o   Issues with 4.13.10 host kernels booting kvm x86 guests on Tumbleweed (Suse) and Fedora 26 (attempting to see if 4.13.12 helps)

o   nfs inode count for the sstate/dldir share appears to break periodically causing the disk monitor to halt the builds (bug 12267)

o   a perf build race (bug 12302)

o   An ext filesystem creation/sizing issue (bug 12304)

·        Until we resolve these issues patches will continue to be slow to merge, if at all. This also blocks several core developers from doing any feature work at this point in time (e.g. layer setup tool is on hold, again).

·        We can only continue to stress that unless others step up and help to try and root cause these issues, things will stall with the project.
