BoF: The Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded
summary
Updates on Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded cover a new major release with refreshed OE metadata, expanded QEMU/emulation testing for x86 and ARM, and rebuilt CI hardware (two generations of high-end Intel hosts with at least 2 TB storage, 128 GB RAM and 10Gb network per node). Migration of mailing lists to groups.io affects ~3,000 members and lands the weekend of September 1. Discussion highlights: LTS needs paid resources (some companies provide private seven‑year branches), CVE fixes are mostly upstreamed by vendors, bitbake -diffsig is the recommended tool for sstate/hash debugging, and reproducible builds are work in progress aiming for broader CI checks.
