Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 4.0.33 is due for release
  • YP 5.0.16 is in QA
  • YP 5.3.2 is queued for QA
  • YP 6.0 M2 is due to build when we have patches merged
  • We have two open high issues which need further work that will block M3:
    • x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (cpu features issue?) (#16074)
    • AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (memory corruption in pseudo?) (#16078)
  • We also have issues we need to resolve before release:
    • Allowing non-destructive git fetcher updates for bitbake-setup
    • Splitting wic into an external tool
    • Kernel rust support
    • Switching to pkg-config
    • Deprecation of ltp (upstream dropped runltp and mandate kirk)
    • How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
    • DISTRO_FEATURES changes to ‘nodistro’ in OE-Core
    • SBOM/cve-check changes
  • We updated “nodistro” to use 3 of the include files poky was already using:
    • Space optimization to reduce build footprint and sstate object size
    • Disabling most static libraries by default (build size/speed wins)
    • Enabling security flags by default
  • “nodistro” now also enables uninative by default to allow for better CDN sstate reuse
  • Distros now need to use INIT_MANAGER to select their preferred init system with the default being systemd for “nodistro”. Poky’s defaults remain unchanged and we don’t have plans to change this at this time due to the work involved and impact (e.g test result comparisons).
  • The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic - we continue to prioritise addressing these since any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them.
  • Patches are merging but there is a backlog and we’ve had to prioritize simpler changes. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
