Notes

Issues added to backlog:

Define update strategy for all installation types; keeping things up-to-date, documentation, needed for security issues...install new image as we do now, or have a separate process. There is a need to have a discussion.
- Should be defined in docs --"how we do it now".
- Converted to issue mion #90
Documentation needs a QA process converted to issue mion-docs #171
Create a non Mender usb install image. Converted to issue on backlog, not for this release. Yocto Project has tools for this it seems
BSP review --identify and suggest fixes for duplicate code including defconfg Likely won't happen for this release. mion #92
Figure out why the mender and onie boot sequences (systemd) varies; project lead answered: "mender sets env variables, likely different than onie, with more verbose and colorful output". Being left as a note, as mender will likely be removed in the future.
How to update machine specific out of tree kernel modules, possibly with DKMS or binary packages and how it affects secure boot; Part of it is a documentation task, and figuring out the approach. Bug reporter to be asked to fill out body of issue.Converted to mion issue #93
Add troubleshooting guide.... Project lead: diff between Yocto and mion, largely pointing to YP docs, and then focusing on mion specific issues, should be limited. Left as a note for now, needs further discussion, likely for next release.

Blocked

None

In Progress

Sanity check/update on issues. Project manager mentioned focus on bug triage, Currently not many bugs, could discuss other issues if needed and time allows.

Review project lead assigned issues.

Add additional layers for a sensible world build(mion 54) --needs description
mion package feed and world builds, related to above, we need another build machine as this can take up a lot of space and resources
Barefoot SDE, NDA is signed, recipe is being written, progress is being made, however there's a lot that needs to be figured out.

Review john Toomey(NGL Maintainer) assigned issues

Add support for secure boot.(meta-mion 36) bios needing to be updated on test hardware, seems to be working on the machine, should be figured out soon.
onie grub install script should use all avaiable disk space (meta-mion #58) quick fix, however needs to be tested, should likely be done soon. Community has logged bugs for this, so will remain high priority

qemu --in progress
testing guide --in progress, organinzing issues that need to be done

Blocked

Two blocked issues related to documentation, waiting for review

In Progress

Docs versioning, needs to be figured out and solution found
Bitbake server env variable--documentation, in progress--needs to be upstreamed to Yocto Project main, but won’t be able to be done for a bit, in part due to needing more resources.
Planning for March release, priorities and action points related to the retro need to be addressed, automated QA/CI is a top priority that needs to be figured out. We need a set of test images, the infrastructure to support this needs to be put in place, dependent largely on getting a QEMU image. Github actions may or may not be the right thing to do: We may want a more secure CI build environment. We may want to focus on CI testing and CI deployment. We do need a defined test plan, though p-test and oe-self tests on qemu will at least help a bit with this. Having a QA test engineer would be very helpful.
