'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*Richard Purdie is actually on holiday and expects to return on the 24th October.
*YP 5.0.1 has been through QA and is pending review for release
*Patches for master are welcome on the mailing list and will be reviewed/tested, but will not be merged until RP has returned.
*There are some CVE related announcements which are helpful to us:
*YP 4.1 rc2 is now out of QA and will be reviewed by the TSC later today. Release is scheduled for the 28th but may happen earlier if the documentation is finalized.
**There was a CVE 5.1 Record format announcement with changes that encourage more useful data from our perspective
*A bug related to the Extensible SDK has been found in YP 4.1 but this is potentially not a release blocker, and can be fixed in the first point release.
**CISA announced on linkedin the creation of https://github.com/cisagov/vulnrichment
*Steve Sakoman to maintain Langdale (YP 4.1 - not an LTS)
*There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990
*At release we released the core layer was still advertising kirkstone so this was removed. This did mean some simple changes were needed to layers to mark compatibility with the new release, we’ll aim to do this earlier in the next release.
**Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
*YP 3.1.20 rc2 has been built and is in QA now.
**Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
*YP 4.2 Proposed Timeline document is at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X5KM_3BiEsIrHBO93ULvYHQJ72NqS5U5jjwWo5bxTiY/edit?usp=sharing
*The project is sponsoring Syslinbit to separate out our CVE tooling from the build system into a standalone tool so that it can be used on software manifests of output at a later date. Marta sent out an update last week on this (thanks!)
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. In particular there is a long-standing qemuppc failure which needs investigating (https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14824)
*gcc 14 has merged to master. There are errors in meta-arm, meta-virtualization and meta-mingw. Now that has merged, we will build and release a new uninative version.
*More of the WORKDIR to UNPACKDIR transition has merged and devtool oe-local-files support has been dropped.
*The next stage of the WORKDIR changes is pending testing in master-next.
*The aim is to build YP 5.1 M1 as soon as the various queued patches stabilize.
*The project is in the process of testing a new way of hosting our autobuilder with plans to switch soon if successful. Our existing hardware is past end of life and showing increased hardware failures so is currently down on capacity meaning builds are taking longer than normal.
*Automated testing continues to show large numbers of problems (e.g. a reproducibility issue in spirv-tools) but we continue to work through and fix issues as quickly as we can.
*Two issues causing failures on the new test infrastructure were tracked down to problems in bitbake. Both were effectively timing related issues.
PR server pass through support merged.
*A rust build issue of x86 hosted builds vs arm hosted builds has been identified as the cause of intermittent failures. Whilst this can be fixed, the fix breaks tests and/or reproducibility which gives challenges given the need to fix scarthgap. There are also challenges upgrading to newer rust versions.
*The performance graph improvements have merged.
*Improvements to the patch and CVE metrics page have also merged.

*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: 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!

*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.
