'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We’re now in feature freeze for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
*YP 4.0.19 has been through QA and is due for release
*We have not built M3 yet as some work still remains for us to be feature complete and ready for QA. This puts us behind schedule but the plan is to complete the key features we’ve planned rather than adhere strictly to dates. We hope to make up time during M4 by having M3 at high quality and take advantage of our automation.
*YP 5.1 M1 rc2 is in QA
*RP is away for the rest of the week which means M3 progress will be limited this week, Ross will queue patches.
*RFC patches for the CVE tooling changes have been posted, help in review is appreciated
*Key 3.0 changes have now merged:
*There are SPDX 3.0 patches ready for review on the mailing list
**5.2 linux-libc-kernel-headers
*There are patches proposing that missing patch Upstream-Status entries be a fatal QA error, this is likely to merge soon as there have been no objections to it.
**5.2 kernel recipes by default for all reference BSPs
*We have a fix for the final Fedora 40 issue, thanks Victor.
**Removal of LSB and poky-lsb and replacement with alt config testing
*We appreciate everyone fixing layers to work with master after recent changes, the autobuilder health is looking greener, thanks!
**systemd by default for poky-altcfg
*The copy_unihashes function was dropped from bitbake after the locked signature file improvements which simplifies further tooling work
**Patches have significantly reduced the dependency on python2
*There is discussion on openembedded-architecture about the details around  configuration fragment tooling potentially being integrated into bitbake
**Reproducible builds are now being tested for core-image-minimal
*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
**Automated toolchain testsuite tests (binutils, gcc, glibc)
*Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
*Key blocking issues for M3 that have been fixed:
*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.
**Systemtap issues with 5.2 were debugged and patches sent/merged upstream
*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.
**5.2 dmesg on qemuarm64 fixed
*Through post release upgrading our patch count reduced again and is now the lowest level since July 2008!
**qemumips hang when using highmem root caused and worked around (for now)
**mdadm ptest timeout worked around
**quilt and libevent ptest regressions from M2 resolved
*Remaining issues blocking M3:
**systemd boot failure on qemumips
**strace ptest timeout
**Hash equivalence performance problems (RP has a simple idea to ~double speed)
**Hash equivalence bugs
**Toolchain testsuite relocation bugs (Nathan working on it)
*Hash Equivalency status:
**Ideas about removing some dependency information from the hashes to allow faster bulk queries aren’t viable so the current codebase approach is correct
**we need to rework the client/server communication to scale to the autobuilder
**there are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to expose
**we have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour should be
**test cases are proving to be problematic to write in a maintainable way
*Documentation - Due to illness Scott is unavailable for the next month or two so doc patches will be handled by Richard or Ross in the short term. We’ll likely limit them to correctness issues and defer any substantial new text. If anyone has availability and skills to work on the manuals please talk to us. We’re aware there is a patch backlog.
*If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.


'''Planned Releases for YP 3.0 {2.8}:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*M3 Release 6th Sept
*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!
*M4 Cutoff 30th Sept - this will be YP 3.0.
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*YP 3.0 {2.8 (M4)} Final Release 25th Oct
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*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.
