			'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
			*Meetings canceled this week for YP Summit.

			<br/>
			'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
			*YP 4.2.4 has passed QA and under discussion pending release
			*YP 4.3.1 is in QA
			*The BB_DEFAULT_EVENTLOG setting has exposed a bug where the bitbake server could hang due to thread deadlocking. A fix has been merged for it yesterday.
			*The length of builds (world and oe-selftest) continues to be a concern.
			*The intermittent issues on the autobuilder are causing problems for master branch development and stable releases and this is slowing down patch testing and merging. We simply don't have enough people to fix the issues quickly enough and the people we do have are struggling.
			*There are some worrying issues around trying to fix the useradd bugs, particularly around inter-sstate task dependencies. There is a discussion about this on the openembedded-architecture list for those interested.
			*The Yocto Project Summit is this week so the regular meetings are canceled so people can attend the summit: https://summit.yoctoproject.org/yocto-project-summit-2023-11/ .


			<br/>

			'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
			*As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: patchtest, layerindex, devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
			*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
			*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 4.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
			*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
			*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT.
			*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
			*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.

			'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
			*Bug Triage meeting Thursday November 23, 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)
			*Weekly Engineering Sync Tuesday November 21st at 8 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09)
			*Twitch - See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester
			<br/>
			'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
			*YP 4.0.14 and YP 3.1.29 were released
			*YP 4.2.4 has passed QA and under discussion pending release
			*Toaster news:
			**Testing for toaster is now starting to be enabled on the autobuilder although not all tests are currently passing and there are host specific issues.
			**The ability to view existing builds is being extended to allow debugging use of toaster even if the original build didn’t use it
			*In support of the above, BB_DEFAULT_EVENTLOG is being proposed as enabled by default in bitbake.conf so that an event log is stored for all builds. This could be useful for debugging outside of toaster in other tools too. There is a small performance/disk footprint overhead but this should be offset by the useful debug data.
			*The length of builds (world and oe-selftest) continues to be a concern.
			*When running the first nanbield stable series builds, our LTS maintainer remarked on being unable to get successful green builds. We did make significant improvements on the intermittent issues prior to release but clearly not enough unfortunately. Troubling issues include:
			**https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15005 - parsing failure on ubuntu2004/debian11 systems, maybe python/pthreads related with host python
			**https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15166 - debuginfod issues (Ross has some debugging improvements pending)
			**Devtool “initial_rev” race issue, an example failure: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/87/builds/6082/steps/14/logs/stdio
			**several intermittent pstest issues
			*There have been several fixes for meta-openembedded reproducibility issues and fixes for mirroring/CVE reporting on stable release branches, thanks Yoann.

			<br/>
			'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
			*The YP 4.3 release now has documentation completed and is likely to be released in the next few days.
			*Patchtest is now replying live on the mailing list for OE-Core and the threading issues were resolved. We are continuing to tweak some of the tests to best suit our needs and address issues.
			*Meta-openembedded now has patch metrics and CVE reporting: https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics-meta-oe/
			*Meta-openembedded has had automatic upgrade emails being sent to the openembedded-devel list. These can be manually triggered from the autobuilder.
			*Recipetool is now able to better handle go modules.
			*The 32bit x86 non-kvm 6.5 kernel early boot crash investigation is ongoing, upstream are aware.
			*The Yocto Project website has had a refresh (www.yoctoproject.org)

			<br/>

			'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
			*As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: patchtest, layerindex, devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
			*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
			*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 4.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
			*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.

			<br/>
			'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
			*The YP 4.3 passed QA and is now pending finalizing the release notes and migration guide.
			*Work has continued on trying to track down the 32bit x86 non-kvm 6.5 kernel early boot crash (thanks Paul).
			*Patchtest is now replying live on the mailing list for OE-Core. There are some open bugs including a threading/references issue but it is great to welcome it back, thanks Trevor.
			*The autobuilder generated ‘metrics’ target has been altered to work per branch and we’re close to support for testing other layers such as meta-openembedded.
			*Toaster automated testing is close to being usable again.
			*Recipetool is now able to better handle various python module formats for recipe creation (Thanks Julien and Tim).
			*Various pieces of security information and processes are being added to our documentation.

			<br/>

			'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
			*As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: patchtest, layerindex, devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
			*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
			*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 4.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
			*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
			*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT.

			'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
			*The YP 4.3 (M4) rc2 is in QA.
			*For the 4.3 release, the 6.5 serial port issues caused the rc1 build to fail. That combined with a serious patchtest behavior meant we rebuilt and submitted an rc2 to QA. There were several abandoned builds due to infrastructure issues. We are now using the upstream kernel serial fix.
			*Our release branch (nanbield) and master have now diverged to keep the patch backlog under control so development patches are merging to master.
			*Patchtest work is progressing and we’re nearly at the point where it will be replying live to emails on list. Examples of the responses can be seen on our test mailing list: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/test-list .
			*Source mirroring and reproducibility testing for meta-openembedded are now available on the project autobuilder.
			*The project is now strongly suggesting source code repositories have a SECURITY.md file to ensure users know what to do if they encounter a security issue. We are trying to ensure all key project repositories contain these. Patches are welcome and we’re encouraging all maintainers to follow this best practice.
			*The layer index has seen development work to ensure it uses secure components, can handle changes in practice (such as main branches), can illustrate Yocto Project Compatible status and that the errors/warnings generated from builds are under control. Thanks Tim!
			*After consultation and discussions the project is now about to document its security processes to complete the work in this area. Please watch the mailing lists such as the architecture list if you have an interest in this area.

			'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
			*The YP 4.3 (M4) rc1 build is still pending
			*For the 4.3 release, the 6.5 serial port issues are still presenting a challenge. We have merged a workaround which seems to fix things for the majority of cases. There is also a second proposed patch from upstream which may help. The dilemma is which option to go for in the release and the time implications of the choice as one is tested and one is not.
			*The only other potential issue for 4.3 is the strace ptest image space issues which is still being worked on.
			*Patchtest did merge to OE-Core and will be included in the release allowing users to locally test their patches before submission using the same code/tests we will ultimately run against mailing list submissions. This is late in the cycle but important to help users and standalone code so worthwhile adding since it was ready. Thanks Trevor!
			*There were multiple CVE fixes merged over the last week to ensure the release had recent widely publicized CVEs addressed.
			*Toaster has had upgrades to key components which help address security issues and patches are merging to enable testing to be resumed and ultimately, automated.
			*There was a big improvement in reproducibility for rust. Unfortunately this hasn’t addressed all the issues but is a big step forward and great to see progress on what was a really difficult to track down issue, thanks Sundeep.
			*The project is pleased to have a new content delivery network (CDN) available to share sstate from the autobuilder with. See the entry in local.conf.sample on how to use it.
			*After consultation and discussions the project is now about to document its security processes to complete the work in this area. Please watch the mailing lists such as the architecture list if you have an interest in this area.
