Current Dev Position: YP 4.2 M2
Next Deadline:  23th January 2023 YP 4.2 M2 Build
Next Team Meetings:
- Bug Triage meeting Thursday December 22nd 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)

Key Status/Updates:
- YP 4.2 M1 and YP 4.0.6 passed QA and are due for release.
 - Builds on the autobuilder are problematic at present due to connection losses with the controller machine. We understand the cause and will be migrating the controller to a new server/location to address this.
 - That, combined with OOM issues from recent bitbake cache changes meant patches are merging more slowly this week.
 - There are a number of bitbake patches pending which are a bit more invasive than usual. These are aiming to address:
- memory issues seen with the recent cache changes and bitbake -S
 - UI hangs where the bitbake server has crashed/hung or otherwise failed
 - issues where bitbake may have removed another server instances bitbake.sock network socket file
 - console interaction issues where bitbake may not respond to Ctrl+C
 - event handler race issues around datastore accesses
 
 - The OE TSC decided in favour of adding export flag expansion despite the performance impact so that patch will be queued.
 - CVE levels in master are concerning again
 - With some debugging, the bitbake.sock disappearance was potentially identified and also issues with OOM process killing locking up bitbake’s server and UI were studied.
 - We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
 - There will be no status report next week, the next will be 3rd January 2023.
 
Ways to contribute:
- 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 4.2 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.2_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 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRgNISmH0Ditf0bRtSezeR2XsgKIiSFJKF6KJUHpnzocNGzvKZbuSDKfmV3n64BFXDRqElBSJnhHtG4/pubchart?oid=1993375488&format=interactive
