Key Status/Updates:

  *   YP 2.5 M2 is 97% through QA. 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
  *   We build 2.4.2 rc1 however rapidly moving kernel updates combined with QA not having started on rc1 yet meant we decided to build rc2, pulling in further kernel security fixes (as well as others like openssl). rc2 is currently being built and should enter QA today assuming a successful build.
  *   autobuilder.yoctoproject.org continues to be unavailable as we continue to develop the new autobuilder codebase to replace the current heavily customized buildbot one.
  *   We managed to shrink the ltp package size which unblocked some patch merging. Bruce has been working on changes to kernel-devsrc to significantly reduce its size.
  *   The glibc change continues to be blocked on locale issues which may prove tricky to resolve and will block M3 as we need the glibc upgrade for various reasons.
  *   We have some key decisions to make about the conflicting native of pkg-conf and pkgconfig. Maxin has a patch series which exposes the issues.
  *   There are problems with the changes to pseudo’s master branch verses the patches we have against the recipe.
  *   Please note that we are very close to M3 which is feature freeze, technically, feature freeze was yesterday. We’re not in a position to build M3 yet but if there are features you expect to see in 2.5, please highlight those patches ASAP. We are drawing up a list of “must haves” for the release and if we don’t know about it, it likely won’t be on it.


Planned upcoming dot releases:

YP 2.4.2 (Rocko) is currently being built and should enter QA today.

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

YP 2.2.3 (Morty) rc2 is in QA.
