Key Status/Updates:

·        YP 2.4 M2 rc3 should be publicly released shortly. This build had much better test results than rc2.  See the QA report at: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW32_-_2017-08-09_-_Full_Test_Cycle_2.4_M2_rc3 And the release Criteria at: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v2.4_Status#Milestone_2_-_Target_July_28.2C_2017

·        Patches are flowing into master, albeit slowly. Vacations for various people is resulting in high workload for those who aren’t away.

·        We’re seeing problems with new symbols in glibc 2.25 (getrandom and getentropy) interacting badly with uninative. For now we’re disabling those symbols in the native case since most code has fallback code, at least for now. We may need a better workaround. We’d prefer to avoid having to make uninative glibc version specific.

·        The new autobuilder has been updated to newer worker distro instances (resulting in some of the failures) but is back to full strength after a while running without one or two workers for various issues. Having it at full strength should speed up builds/testing.

·        YP 2.2 (Morty) is continuing to struggling due to build issues. The issue appears to be that certain ppc/lsb lsb images are taking a long time to run. We need to understand why the non-lsb images don’t suffer the same issues but are struggling to find anyone with the time to look into it properly. We need to get these resolved in order to unblock this release series.
