[yocto] Minutes: Yocto Project Monthly Meeting 7/23/2019

[Reyna, David]

Yocto Project Monthly Meeting
MINUTES: 7/23/2019

Attendees: Richard, JoshuaW, Bruce, Tim, Vineela, David, Trevor, Jan-Simon (at end)

Note: consolidated bridge for Tuesday meetings: https://zoom.us/j/990892712

RP:
  * Weekly status update will go out later today
  * 2.7.1 out last week
  * 2.6.3. due out Wednesday
  * Autobuilder performance issues finally found and fixed
  * Some issues with default poky init system (sysv vs. system)

Richard: Runqueue optimizations appear to be working, though some performance issues (sometimes 3 minute break for calculations). Example of feature, if “m4-native” has change but do_populate_sstate same then sstate left the same and no cascade of rebuilds to rest of packages. Richard quite excited about this, especially having this early in the development cycle.

Joshua: What about non-local implementations? Richard: focusing on local hash state equivalency first. Good step towards reproducibility. Next would then be non-local support. Goal is less duplicated in sstate-caches, which will help with sstate-cache mirrors. Joshua: would appear that non-local users would still need the sstate and database together.

Richard: runqueue api clunky in that it supports multiple tasked formats. Would like to consolidate them but that would require a “flag day” for everyone to make the transition.

Richard: changes could run against earlier releases like Warrior/Thud with minor patches if we would want to do so.

Bruce: 5.3 kernel dropped, so he is busy with that.
