Key Status/Updates:

·         YP 2.5 M2 is currently undergoing QA and nearly complete. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.5_QA_Status

·         YP 2.2.3 is also mostly through QA. See https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.2_QA_Status.  T

·         Holidays mean that QA is slowed, we will QA 2.4.2 as soon as they return.

·         autobuilder.yoctoproject.org continues to be unavailable as we continue to develop the new autobuilder codebase to replace the current heavily customized buildbot one.

·         Some positive performance news is that by removing the “fetchall” and “checkuriall” tasks, we were able to take “bitbake core-image-sato -g” from 20s to around 8s. The speedup comes from the runqueue calculation so most builds will benefit from this speedup. The tasks are replaced by a dedicated bitbake option, --runall=<taskname>.

·         Kernel updates have been blocked as some image sizes have overflowed the maximum allowed image sizes. We’re working on figuring out how to resolve that, likely by stripping ltp and/or optimising the kernel-devsrc recipe if possible.

·         The glibc change is blocked on various build failures the code seems to trigger as well as issues with gplv2 vs gplv3 patches for meta-gplv2.


Planned upcoming dot releases:

YP 2.4.2 (Rocko) will be built shortly, once there is QA bandwidth available.

YP 2.3.4 (Pyro) will be built when we figure out gcc backports.

YP 2.2.3 (Morty) rc2 is in QA.

YP 2.2.4 (Morty) will be built when we figure out gcc backports.
