'''Tip of the Week:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*‘oe-pkgdata-browser’ is a new handy small helper UI added by Ross to visualise the pkgdata held within a build.
*YP 4.0.19 has been through QA and is due for release
*(anyone with tips they’d like to see here, please send to Stephen or Richard)
*YP 5.1 M1 rc2 is in QA
*RFC patches for the CVE tooling changes have been posted, help in review is appreciated
*There are SPDX 3.0 patches ready for review on the mailing list
*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.
*We have a fix for the final Fedora 40 issue, thanks Victor.
*We appreciate everyone fixing layers to work with master after recent changes, the autobuilder health is looking greener, thanks!
*The copy_unihashes function was dropped from bitbake after the locked signature file improvements which simplifies further tooling work
*There is discussion on openembedded-architecture about the details around  configuration fragment tooling potentially being integrated into bitbake
*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
*Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
*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.
*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.
*Through post release upgrading our patch count reduced again and is now the lowest level since July 2008!


'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M2 is due to be built next week.
*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!
*Patch merging is roughly on track however there are a number of failures identified with key patches (glibc has a prelink issue on mips, python 3.8 upgrade blocked on uid issue, gstreamer meson transition blocked on nodistro failure). Most of these issues are making progress over time.
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*The more worrying aspect is that there are a number of recurring/intermittent failures in the automated testing, mostly from selftest and testimage.
*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
*Looking at the build history, “full” images have built cleanly only once in the past month (3 times in the last two months), which is a pretty shocking statistic which summarises the challenges we face there. Most of these are being procrastinated on by the bug owners since we can’t reproduce them at will. We really need help working on these kinds of issues.
*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.
*We have changed the sstate mirrors to be per release, simply to lower the numbers of files in any given sstate directory.
*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.
*The triage team is worried about attendance at triage meetings and the project is finding it hard to find people to help fix bugs. If anyone is willing to work on bugs, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
