Key Status/Updates:

·         YP 2.6 M2 is in QA. See https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.6_QA_Status.  It is 84% complete.

·         YP 2.3.4 has been released.  This is the final release of the YP 2.3 (pyro) series.

·         YP 2.2.4 is out of QA and will release this week. This will be the final release of the YP 2.2 (morty) series.

·         A new version of uninative-tarball will be released this week to fix issues sharing sstate from newer distros.

·         Oe-selftest patches have merged however there are race issues in the test cases, particularly where the modify metadata as part of the test. This has meant we’ve not enabled parallelisation by default yet.

·         RP is compiling a list of broken selftests so we can figure out fixing them by monitoring the repository for changes as the tests run. If anyone is interested in helping let us know! Faster oe-selftest times mean faster patch testing and merging.

·         We lack a good mechanism for flagging work which someone new to the project who wants to help could take on. Richard posted one such task onto the OE-Core mailing list last week (“OE-core] Request for help - Simple cleanup/optimisation task”)

·         Master now has significant parallelism improvements for do_package which take the wall clock time for ltp from 605s to 163s. Some of that was through parallel execution of tasks, removal of the use of subprocess shells also helped.
