Key Status/Updates:

·        Master has started taking patches for 2.5. We were able to get some successful builds which allowed some patches to merge however the incidence of failures increased again and we’re again seeing multiple issues mentioned below in each build, stalling patch merging.

·        We continue to struggle with a raft of different build failures that keep occurring on the autobuilders. Compared to last week we did make some progress:

o   We found one issue due to depletion of entropy on autobuilder workers (https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Entropy_on_Autobuilders has details)

o   We fixed the ftp proxy issues (we were unable to remove all the ftp urls since gcc and alsa still use ftp servers)

o   We fixed the oe-selftest log duplication and various other logging inconsistency issues.

·        Currently open issues are:

o   qemuppc continues to demonstrate random hangs in boot  in userspace

o   Issues with 4.13.10 host kernels booting kvm x86 guests on Tumbleweed (Suse) and Fedora 26

o   nfs inode count for the sstate/dldir share appears to break periodically causing the disk monitor to halt the builds (bug 12267)

o   a perf build race (bug 12302)

o   An ext filesystem creation/sizing issue (bug 12304)

·        Until we resolve these issues patches will continue to be slow to merge, if at all. This also blocks several core developers from doing any feature work at this point in time (e.g. layer setup tool is on hold, again).

·        We can only continue to stress that unless others step up and help to try and root cause these issues, things will stall with the project.
