Next Team Meetings: - Bug Triage meeting - Thursday 6th Aug. 7:30am PDT ( https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09) - Weekly Project Engineering Sync - Tuesday 4th Aug. 8am PDT ( https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09) <https://zoom.us/j/990892712> - Yocto Project Patch Review - Thursday 6th Aug. 10am GMT and Monday 10th Aug. 9am PDT ( https://zoom.us/j/97762397148?pwd=1xk0iC9hp9SjEonaTaONwTb6iWry4Eb.1) Project data dashboard: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/ Key Status/Updates: - YP 6.1 M2 is due for release - There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105: - Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart <https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13908> - aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix. - Remaining intermittent build failures of concern: - other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM - sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues - siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”) - intermittent ptest failures in many recipes - Some class cleanups were merged which did require tweaks to some metadata: - https://lore.kernel.org/openembedded-core/[email protected]/ - See the “The series does break some things, notably” section - Some invasive LICENSE changes have merged into master: - We now require the LICENSE field to match SPDX identifiers. - The build will issue warnings when this isn’t the case. - Non SPDX licenses will need to be of the form LicenseRef-XXX - CLOSED is no longer a valid value. - ‘WITH’ license exceptions are now supported Big thanks to Joshua for getting us to the point where we can finally clean this up! - We continue to work on the backlog of patches which has slightly reduced and we’re trying to catch up with AUH updates. - Toolchain upgrades merged to glibc and bintuils with many other recipe version updates too. - Rust is now using a shared work directory which reduces disk usage significantly. - There have been further important fixes in pseudo which were included in the latest upgrade. - The new uninative does not have i686 build host support. This will mean i686 build host support with uninative will no longer be possible out the box when that is merged to the LTS branches. It is unlikely anyone should be using that! Want to contribute? We would appreciate help with the following areas: - We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C would be greatly appreciated. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=--- - There are a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder, any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be welcome! https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/ - Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe maintainer. Please look at https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes. - For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing New to the project? - We have a list of issues we think are good places to start contributing: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=NEWCOMER Tracking Metrics: - WDD 2694 (last week 2689) ( https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/charts/combo.html) - OE-Core/Poky Patch Metrics - Total patches found: 1029 (last week 1021) - Patches in the Pending State: 141 (14%) [last week 141 (14%)] - https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/ Upcoming development releases: - 6.1 M2: due for release. - Release Date: w/c 2026-08-03 - 6.1 M3: - Build Date: w/c 2026-08-31 - Release Date: w/c 2026-09-14 - 6.1.0: - Build Date (M4): w/c 2026-10-12 - Release Date: w/c 2026-11-02 Upcoming dot releases: - YP 6.0.3 - Build Date w/c 2026-08-10 - Release Date w/c 2026-08-24 - YP 5.0.20 - Build Date w/c 2026-08-17 - Release Date w/c 2026-08-31 - For future release dates, see https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Release_calendar The Yocto Project’s technical governance is through its Technical Steering Committee, more information is available at: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TSC The Status reports are stored on the wiki at: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Weekly_Status [If anyone has suggestions for other information you’d like to see on this weekly status update, let us know!] Thanks, *Stephen K.
