Areas we could do with assistance

[Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>]

Hi Everyone,

There are a few areas we could do with some help at the moment:

a) ptest in util-linux failing for qemuriscv64:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/56/builds/2369

b) Finding better tests for the github related bitbake-selftests. I've
made good progress at removing github.com references from
https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/tree/lib/bb/tests/fetch.py but
some still remain. I also have not rewritten all the submodules to not
use github for the underlying submodules in all cases. The ones that
are left are:

test_gomod_url
test_gomod_url_go_mod_only
test_gomodgit_url_subdir
test_git_submodule_iotedge

You can also now see timing data on:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/23/builds/4848/steps/14/logs/stdio

and help with speeding any of these up would also be welcome!

c) The xserver startup issues:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13908

d) Reproducibility on x86 vs arm hosts. Alejandro has made good
progress with identifying many of the rust related issues but there are
some non-rust issues remaining. One key set of diffs are these:

https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/repro-fail/oe-reproducible-20260908-sv8uww77/packages/diff-html/

Particularly the perl issue, the locale change and numpy config issues.

Any help on these welcome, just let us know if you're working on
anything to avoid duplication.

Cheers,

Richard
