Key Status/Updates:

• 2.7.1 has a ptest issue which is being investigated before the release decision.
• We have a new “newcomer” bug category which are bugs suited to someone new to the project. These can be seen here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs
• No progress on autobuilder NFS glitches or UI performance. The pigz issue looks like an opensuse specific pthreads problem at this point (https://github.com/madler/pigz/issues/68)
• Richard has been working on runqueue changes to run setscene and normal tasks in parallel. The patches are in master-next for regression testing at present. Ultimately these would allow sstate hash equivalency to be acted upon mid build. The changes aren’t as invasive as first feared which should reduce the changes and scope of regressions.
• The usual patch queue handling is slower due to the runqueue distraction.
• There is a discussion on the mailing list about reproducibility in the project, please respond there if you have opinions.
• There was an interesting patch on the mailing list to enable some big test suites from the toolchain components (binutils/gcc/glibc). This is great to see and feedback is encouraged, it would make a great addition alongside ptest and the other tests we have automated.
