Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 4.1.1 has passed QA and is likely to be released imminently.
*	We'd like to remind people of the importance of developing features
on master. Once ready, these can then become available in the next LTS. We
do not develop features against current LTS releases, that defeats their
purpose.
*	A key bug in sstate reuse with hash equivalence where "hard"
dependencies like pseudo-native and shadow-native rehash was found and is
fixed in bitbake master.
*	We are thinking about more significant bitbake changes at the
moment. Some ideas under consideration are:

*	Adding extra information about hashes to the bitbake cache (and the
expense of slower loading cache files and slightly slower initial parsing).
This would allow easier debugging of hash mismatch issues (e.g. basehash
parsing mismatches or esdk hash issues).
*	Thinking about the idea of variable "filter" functions to help
implementation of recipe class extensions (like native and nativesdk).
*	Extending bitbake's recipe syntax to support structured data.

*	We'd welcome a proposal/series on how to move forward with the Y2038
work for 32 bit platforms.
*	We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is
appreciated.

 

Ways to contribute:

*	There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project:

*	There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 4.2. See:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_Unassigned_Enha
ncements.2FBugs>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.2_Unassigned_Enhan
cements.2FBugs
*	We'd welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the
list at:
<http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/mai
ntainers.inc>
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/main
tainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core
mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to "Unassigned" soon to
help facilitate this.
*	Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder
intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we're continuing to
see by searching for the "AB-INT" tag in bugzilla:
