Key Status/Updates:
We’re now in feature freeze for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final
releaseThere are the following planned features which are still under
consideration for 3.0:Systemd vs. sysvinit defaults (maybe for the poky
alternative configuration tests)Removal of LSB and poky-lsb and
replacement with alt config testingFinal configuration of hash
equivalencyThe sstate hash equivalency continues to have challenges:we
need to rework the client/server communication to scale to the
autobuilderthere are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to
exposewe have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour
should betest cases are proving to be problematic to write in a
maintainable wayPatch merging has been delayed due to vacations (RP and
Ross) so the final feature patches aren’t resolved yet.If anyone has
any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly
reports, please email Richard+Stephen.
