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.
