Key Status/Updates:

·        We ended up merging the smart -> dnf transition for M3 as the build issues being encountered were finally resolved. There was a separate email about the pros/cons of merging this, we still believe that doing this now was better than waiting six months with the transition hanging over our users for that length of time.

·        M3 is now in QA and all new features have been merged into tree for 2.3. We have encountered some issues from the HOSTTOOLS change and ended up merging a fix to unblock certain QA tests which run in a firewalled  environment so the exact commit for M3-rc1 is now confused. So far there have been a number of issues identified and we believe we will make an rc2 build as soon as we’re confident we’ve identified all the key issues and merged fixes for them.

·        There are a number of ongoing intermittent autobuilder test failures, particularly in oe-selftest which we’ve not identified yet. These are looking likely from the partially unintended enabling of the sstate cache for the selftest runs. We did want to ultimately do this so are choosing to chase down the issues rather than disabling it again.

·        Since we’re into the stabilization phase of 2.3, planning for 2.4 will be beginning soon and we’re starting to plan out 2.4 in the bugzilla. If you have suggestions for 2.4, please ensure they are in bugzilla.
