Today 2025-08-04 Developments: A Look at Our Codebase (3 Months Review)
We’re excited to share a summary of the significant progress made across our repositories in the last 3 months. Our dedicated team has been busy pushing new features, refining existing functionalities, and enhancing the overall stability of our products.
Here’s a breakdown of key contributions by repository:
connman
Repository URL: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/connman/connman.git
Summary of the contributions by author:
Andrea Ricchi: Andrea Ricchi made significant improvements to the timezone functionality over three months. The commit messages highlight the replacement of the `/etc/localtime` file with a symbolic link to ensure accurate timezone representation without unnecessary file I/O. This change resolved issues with `__connman_timezone_lookup()`. Additionally, a previous commit was reverted to ensure `compare_file` functionality with symlinks for accurate timezone matching against the zoneinfo database. These contributions demonstrate a focus on enhancing the reliability and efficiency of timezone management within the software.
Here the commits of Andrea Ricchi in detail:
Andrea Ricchi on 2025-06-05: Revert “timezone: Fix compare_file comparison in timezone checking”
Andrea Ricchi on 2025-06-05: timezone: Replace Localtime file copy with symbolic link
Michael Trimarchi: Michael Trimarchi made a significant contribution to the software by fixing a bug in the timezone feature related to file comparison. The original flawed logic caused incorrect results when comparing file paths, which has now been rectified to return the correct success value. This fix ensures the proper behavior of file comparison within the timezone feature, enhancing the overall functionality and reliability of the software.

Repository URL: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
Summary of the contributions by author:
Dario Binacchi: Dario Binacchi made significant contributions to the mmc-utils software over the past 3 months. The commits focused on improving the functionality and stability of the software. In one commit, a fix was implemented to properly set the sparse option, enhancing the handling of the ‘C’ option. Another notable contribution was the upgrade to version 1.0, marking the first tagged release of the package. This upgrade included various changes such as passing key_mac buffer to rpmb_get_key(), introducing a generic print_usage function, and streamlining the print_help function. Overall, Dario Binacchi’s contributions have led to notable enhancements and progress in the mmc-utils software.
Here the commits of Dario Binacchi in detail:
Dario Binacchi on 2025-04-30: mmc-utils: upgrade to latest revision
Dario Binacchi on 2025-07-07: mmc-utils: upgrade to 1.0
Dario Binacchi on 2025-07-25: mmc-utils: properly set sparse option
CANopenTerm
Repository URL: https://github.com/CANopenTerm/CANopenTerm.git
Summary of the contributions by author:
Dario Binacchi: Dario Binacchi fixed the issue related to the installation of the executable when the BUILD_YOCTO option is enabled in CanopenTerm within Buildroot. The error causing the CMake installation failure was successfully addressed, ensuring the correct installation of CANopenTerm. This fix enhances the overall build process stability and reliability for users leveraging the BUILD_YOCTO option.
Here the commits of Dario Binacchi in detail:
Dario Binacchi on 2025-05-08: Fix exe installation when BUILD_YOCTO is enabled
ufs-utils
Repository URL: https://github.com/SanDisk-Open-Source/ufs-utils.git
Summary of the contributions by author:
Dario Binacchi: Dario Binacchi addressed a warning in ufs_hmr by removing an unnecessary null check on ‘opt->path’ in ufs-utils under Buildroot when using GCC 13. The warning arose due to a fixed-size array ‘path’ being checked as if it were a pointer. By eliminating this invalid check, the warning was resolved. This commit demonstrates Dario Binacchi’s attention to detail in resolving issues related to pointer handling in the codebase.
Here the commits of Dario Binacchi in detail:
Dario Binacchi on 2025-06-22: ufs_hmr: drop always-true check on ‘opt->path’
