Key Status/Updates:

·        We’ve discovered problems with the 2.3.1 eSDK release binaries and are in the process of rebuilding these to fix sstate mirror urls. This was from autobuilder configuration being incorrect, not from any metadata issue.

·        In the last week the autobuilder suffered overload issues around the NAS which meant that sstate, download and autobuilder functions were affected. The functions have been split between different servers meaning a rebuild of the NAS was required and this is ongoing.

·        The impact on the Autobuilders from the NAS issues was significant and has slowed down patch testing.

·        The OpenSSL 1.1 upgrade has been backed back to 1.0 due to too many reported issues. You can test 1.1 using PREFERRED_VERSION and we will move back to 1.1 likely in the next release, there just wasn’t enough time in the current one to reasonably expect issues to get resolved.

·        Today is feature freeze for 2.4. There are several patches still in the queue and undergoing testing (python manifest changes, recipetool/devtool and kernel changes) as well as some bitbake server issues that need resolving before we can start 2.4 M3 builds.

·        We did merge fixes for rpm dependency generation after realizing it was broken. This detects things like interpreter paths (e.g. scripts that require /bin/bash) and means some dependency issues are appearing in builds now this is working correctly again.
