Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 3.3 M2 was released
*	We have a new simple system to help with the SWAT process,
"SwatBot",  <https://swatbot.yoctoproject.org/>
https://swatbot.yoctoproject.org/ which has quickly evolved over the last
week and is now taking over from the wiki BuildLog for the SWAT process.
*	We're due to merge autoconf 2.71 which is now working for the core
layers and automated tests but will need work to make meta-openembedded work
with it.
*	We managed a small performance improvement to builds over the last
week (5-7% overall) which appears to be from some of the GL native tools
changes rather surprisingly
*	There were also significant reductions in the numbers of files being
installed into the recipe sysroots (around 14,000 fewer files for some
recipes for each workdir) which should aid overall build performance (and
e.g. ease of build directory deletion)
*	There was a fix for pseudo to improve handling of renamed files
which may account for some of the pseudo issues we've seen recently, it
certainly caused problems with the new binutils release (not yet merged).
*	Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur. You can see the
list of failures we're continuing to see by searching for the "AB-INT" tag
in bugzilla:
<https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT>
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT

 

Ways to contribute:

*	There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*	There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.3. See:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enha
ncements.2FBugs>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_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.
