The master branches in the poky and meta-openembedded layers currently are being prepared for the kirkstone LTS release. Many BSP layers already track these branches on their own master branches. For my current project, only the Mender layers lack support for this new release, so… when can we expect…

@TheYoctoJester Using your branch, I can build mender-client without any extra hacks. Good progress. I plan to start runtime testing sometime next week, and I will post those results here.

@TheYoctoJester I now have successfully performed a major update from my dunfell image to these new kirkstone images (and incremental upgrades from there). Hopefully, the outstanding changes can be merged soon. Also, I noticed today that the upstream poky repository now contains a kirkstone branch.…

Hi @zach-welch-aquabyte , The meta-mender and meta-mender-community repositories will get kirkstone branches once we have reached production quality. I personally expect both of the mentioned layers to also follow this practise close to the release by the Yocto Project. Greetz, Josef

It’s been a couple months; any update on when a production release supporting kirkstone might drop? SLR-

I won’t lie, this integration has been quite difficult , but today I had the first test run where a respectable amount of tests passed. There is still quite a bit of work remaining, which is to fix the remaining failing tests, as well as solving all of these tasks , but now I think we can start hoping…

Thanks Kristian, and best of luck to you and the team! Q. have you guys been pushing your work in progress to the ‘next’ branch? SLR-

That’s all of the work in that link, and it is about to be merged to mendersoftware/meta-mender:master-next.

I had been using the TheYoctoJester/master-next branch to build for kirkstone, but that now fails due to the kirkstone branch being removed from the kacf/mender repository. Meanwhile, the official Mender layer repository still fails to build on the master-next branch, due to the OpenSSL 3.0 compatib…

The OpenSSL issue has already been fixed, but there is no client release yet which has it included. Try setting this option in your local.conf: PREFERRED_VERSION_mender-client = "master-git%"

HI, on actual master-next systemd-boot fails in patch phase. Seems path which is added in meta-mender must be refreshed. Anybody see the same issue or it’s just me doing some stupid thing? Thanks.
