Key Status/Updates:

  *   YP 2.5 M2 is through QA and likely to be released early this week.
  *   YP 2.2.3 is through QA and likely to be released early this week.
  *   YP 2.4.2 rc2 was successfully built and is undergoing QA.
  *   YP 2.5 M3 is feature freeze. After discussions with various people we concluded that we need:
     *   the 2.27 glibc upgrade
     *   kernel-devsrc size changes
     *   to resolve some of the outstanding pseudo bugs
     *   to resolve the multilib SDK patch series
     *   the package feed filtering patch series (the multilib SDK series depends on it)
     *   image EFI configuration rework
  *   We plan to defer:
     *   pkg-conf vs. pkgconfig issues/discussion
     *   profile guided optimisation for python (patch series)
     *   oe-selftest parallelization
  *   We’re continuing to work on the autobuilder changes and for various reasons (inc. changes in people).  We would be in much better shape to switch to the new codebase before release, rather than waiting until early 2.6 to pick this work up again by which time we’d have lost people and context. If we are to switch, we need to build M3 with the new infrastructure. We’ll have to make a decision on whether we do this during this week.


Planned upcoming dot releases:

YP 2.4.2 (Rocko) is currently in QA 82% complete.   See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.4_QA_Status
