Key Status/Updates:

• YP 4.1 M1 is due to build imminently.
• CVE trend charting was added to the metrics output from the autobuilder: https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/
• An issue where failures occurred when upgrading python recipes in an existing build directory was tracked down to issues with ordering of files on disk. This has been resolved and also been made deterministic although we do need to raise the issue with upstream python.
• There is a new ncurses UI for “taskexp” our task dependency explorer thanks to David Reyna. Patches are on the bitbake mailing list.
• 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

Ways to contribute:

• 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 4.1 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_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.
