[yocto] Minutes: Yocto Project Engineering Sync, 7/09/2019

[Reyna, David]

Minutes: Yocto Project Engineering Sync
When: Tuesday, July 09, 2019 8:00 AM-9:00 AM 1.
Attending: Richard, Armin, Michael, David, Trevor, Tim, Vineela, Bruce

* Richard: General notes
  - Status report was sent last night: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2019-July/045968.html

  - Richard got work done on the runqueue changes (to run setscene and normal tasks in parallel)
  - Autobuilder still has NFS issues
  - 2.7.1 is now out of QA and waiting for TSC to approve for release, pending review of a ptest issue.
    * Vineela: Ok to publish test report? Richard: yes.

  - Nathan posted a patch of test suites for the toolchain components (binutils/gcc/glibc). Good mailing list discussion.



* Richard: question to David about effect on Toaster for setscene events in parallel and thus somewhat out of order (e.g. effect on progress bar). David: probably no problem since Toaster just gathers the events (and progress is progress), will review the update.



* Michael: updated firewall, installed Debian Time (sp?).



* Tim: email transition? Michael: need to update list and resubmit, will get update on timeframe.



* Armin: posted security patch for Patchworks - who will receive it and apply it? Michael: ok with Django change. Michael went ahead and tested the patch during the call, and got support to post the update to the repo.



* Richard: mentioned that Sandy from WR is working on getting up to speed on PatchTest, but realized that she may not be also covering PatchWorks. We need to review how PatchWorks has diverged from the community.



* Tim: concerned about patches from Martin that dropping rdepends for Perl in core might affect native Perl, and concerned about potential broader scope of the issues/changes across Perl. Richard noted that (a) native Perl not split like target Perl is, (b) there is an open bug about the whole issue plus Ross is also concerned, and that (c) the big problem is that to fix it we probable need to change "PN-native" to "native-PN". Tim posted this link that may show unexpected target rdepends contamination on native Perl:

* Richard: had sync meeting last week while North America was on vacation. Short meeting, no minutes.

* Tim: Khem travelling and patches are backing up. Richard: Khem should be back next week and will address queue. Discussion whether Tim as maintainer of Perl should go ahead and push patches himself to help relieve queue.
