Key Status/Updates:

·         We’re now into M3 feature freeze so new feature patches, particularly for unplanned changes will be much less likely to be merged until 2.7 now.

·         Fixes merged for hardlinked files and their debug symbol links including new test cases to ensure this does not regress

·         Pending kernel upgrades (to 4.18) and other kernel changes for 2.6 merged

·         There was a change to the cpan class code which broke various external perl recipes. A secondary fix has been merged but needs testing, if it fails we may need to revert the original change.

·         Some key changes in toaster merged

·         Some oeqa race/logging output issues were identified and fixed

·         The sstate equivalency server work from Joshua/Garmin has review still pending and identifying/fixing persist_data fork issues (it's partly tracked down but not completely).

·         2.4 (rocko) series stabilization continues for the next point release 2.4.4

·         Autobuilder2 now includes instructions on setting up and rebuilding the Yocto Console UI plugin

·         We have a build speed performance regression where the llvm build time and python pgo optimisation time added by new recent features mean builds are now taking around 45 minutes longer on our standard benchmarking system (1:26 -> 2:11).

·         This llvm dependency addition to mesa by default means image size for core-image-sato also increased substantially (230MB -> 309MB).


Planned Releases for YP 2.6:

·         YP 2.6 M3 Build Target is Aug. 27, 2018
