'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 2.6.3 has been released.
*YP 4.0.19  and YP 5.1 M1 were released
*This release which was 2.8 will now become 3.0.
*YP 5.0.2 was built and is entering QA.
*The sstate hash equivalency continues to have challenges:
*There were some great patch status cleanups, thanks Alexander (will show in next week’s metrics)
**performance of the hash server is not able to scale to the autibuilder’s load
*There is a patch to improve the way the *FLAGS variables operate. It is possible this may change behavior in some corner cases but the usability improvements mean we’re likely to merge the patch and address any issues that arise.
**there are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to expose
*Some larger patches are on the list and help reviewing these would be appreciated:
**we have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour should be
**Adding SPDX 3.0 from Joshua
**test cases are proving to be problematic to write in a maintainable way
**Improved CVE tooling from Marta
*On a more positive note, some of the key performance issues were identified and fixed so performance doesn’t regress for usage without hash equivalence. Several corruption issues and other key fixes to runqueue also merged.
**bitbake-setup and configuration fragments from Alexander
*Jason Wessel finally tracked down our mystery glibc-locale bug, which was not a pseudo issue. Thanks and kudos to Jason!
*We had some fixes for the install-buildtools script which showed a lack of automated testing for it. Adding some would be an interesting first contribution if anyone is interested.
*General patch merging is currently delayed along with patch feedback due to the hash equivalence issues and lack of bandwidth to progress everything at once.
*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
*We still need to make a decision on systemd or sysvinit defaults as the init system.
**Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
*We are a week away from the 3.0 feature freeze.
**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.
 
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*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!
*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 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.
