Current Dev Position: YP 2.2 M3 Next Deadline: YP 2.2 M3 which will be Aug 29th (5:00pm GMT) SWAT team rotation: Juro -> Anibal https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Build_Failure_Swat_Team Key Status/Updates: * We’re drawing close to the M3 deadline and feature freeze for 2.2. There is still a significant number of features outstanding with several looking to be at risk at this point. * The bitbake multi-config build series has now merged. * We’ve re-enabled prelink on x86/mips. ppc/arm was disabled whilst we investigated test failures but will likely be enabled since the issues are looking to be a binutils bug. * We upgraded to gcc 6.2rc1 (we will track 6.2 through to our release) * Uninative 1.3 was released to deal with some locale problems. This will need to be backported to krogoth as a 1.0.1 release of uninative. * Current master is going to go through a full QA pass before M3 to try and make sure we are dealing with all the known bugs. * We are starting to see significant ‘random’ autobuilder failures again: * Mips machine ‘failure to start’ despite booting the kernel: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10136 * Systemd logging failure: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10128 * Unknown ppc failure: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/main/builders/nightly-ppc/builds/910/steps/Running%20Sanity%20Tests/logs/stdio * Uvesa timeout issue: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8245 * Busybox parallel make race: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10116 We need to get to grips with these as a matter of urgency as they do keep recurring and several occurred during our QA build, sadly. I am getting quite concerned about these. * 2.1.1 has been released, finally! * We will be moving to the 4.7 kernel before M3 closes, and evaluating a move to 4.8 in mid-September.  We will be keeping both the 4.1 (as LTSI) and 4.4 (as LTS) kernels.  GregKH has announced that 4.9 will be the next LTS for a Dec/Jan release, therefore our 4.7 (or 4.8) will be short lived kernels.
