Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 3.1.3 has been released.
*	We are now (over)due to build M4 rc1. There are currently three high
bugs blocking the final M4 build, a buildtools issue where buildtools needs
updating in the install script, a toaster issue with recent bitbake cooker
process changes and a missing kea init script..
*	Major pseudo changes have been merged and are now testing cleanly on
the testing infrastructure. The known community reported issues have also
been resolved and a couple of underlying pseudo bugs discovered and fixed
too. Interestingly there was around a 2GB reduction in the size of the
pseudo databases for core-image-sato after the path filtering was added.
*	Victor did some great work in understanding why qemumips was so much
slower than qemumips64 and by changing the number of TLBs (easy in
software!). we were able to see a 40% speedup in 32 mips qemu test execution
times. A further piece of good news is upstream look willing to add
functionality which lets us configure the number of TLBs so we shouldn't
have to maintain anything out of tree, thanks Victor!
*	Unfortunately, intermittent autobuilder issues are still occurring,
whilst reducing in frequency and number, possibly due to less frequency full
rebuilds. 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

Help with any of these would be much appreciated, unfortunately it is
proving hard to find anyone interested in helping figure these out and they
significantly hamper our testing.

 

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 3.2. See:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_Unassigned_Enha
ncements.2FBugs>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_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.
