It was mentioned that the 2.6 features should be discussed on the YPTM
next month. The hope is that people who have submitted feature requests
can give some feedback and possible help by contributing.

Any secondary GCC (e.g. 6.4 on Rocko) is hard to test on the
autobuilder. We should look into ways to automate this task if possible.
Also, Mark brought up that there is a built-in test suite in GCC which
YP isn't using. There is a long standing bugzilla entry for that:

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4437

Please feel free to comment with suggestions.

Cheers,
Stephano

If people are aware of items that should be going into 2.5 but are not
on the list, please contact Richard. While no high level list exists
today we will work on getting that setup. For now, please see the commit
logs to determine if a feature you are looking for has been included.

The new autobuilder setup will be used for the 2.6 release. Testing on
that system can begin soon with the knowledge that some features are not
yet implemented.

poky-contrib cleanup should be happening regularly and Michael will
begin tracking this in bugzilla.


AR: Robin - Work to communicate an appropriate high level overview for
releases. Be aware Paul usually pulls together the release notes. (the
wiki would be higher level)

AR: Tracey - Add to the website a page regarding bug triage.

AR: Stephano - Add yocto/oe-core/bitbake to bug triage invite.


NOTES:
"AR" == Action Required
"Opens" == Anything you would like to be discussed which is not
explicitly on the agenda.
