'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M1 was released.
*YP 4.0.19  and YP 5.1 M1 were released
*Over the last two weeks there were a number of significant fixes for hash equivalence which should resolve some of the long standing bugs reported here. Some of these fixes may require further architectural tweaks to the codebase but those are cleanups which can happen in due course now the root causes are identified.
*YP 5.0.2 was built and is entering QA.
*There are performance issues that remain in hashequivlence but these will be looked at only once the correctness issues and intermittent test failures are addressed.
*There were some great patch status cleanups, thanks Alexander (will show in next week’s metrics)
*There are some puzzling selftest failures that remain, in particular a locked signatures one which seems to be caused through bad interaction with the hash equivalence code but is intermittent and does not make sense.
*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.
*The patch queue for master should be roughly up to date which some key changes such as the gettext upgrade having merged recently. Some pending changes like the glibc upgrade look problematic.
*Some larger patches are on the list and help reviewing these would be appreciated:
*A key functionality change has merged this week where the layout of the sstate directory has changed. This was done to try and improve performance and handle some performance issues where the previous code simply wasn’t scaling. There is no user visible impact but it does mean new sstate will be generated into a new layout and the older sstate will be ignored. The sstate filename length issues should also be addressed by this patchset.
**Adding SPDX 3.0 from Joshua
*Whilst the SWAT process is disbanded, the effect of this is that Richard now has to file the bugs personally. This distracts from other things that could be worked on.
**Improved CVE tooling from Marta
*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.
**bitbake-setup and configuration fragments from Alexander
*The TSC is working on LTS plans, productive discussions have been had and a new policy on handling this and stable releases should be available in the coming weeks.
*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.
*We are continuing to collect ideas for YP 3.1 in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UKZIGe88-eq3-pOPtkAvFAegbQDzhy_f4ye64yjnABc/edit?usp=sharing
*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.


'''Proposed YP 3.1 Milestone Dates'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M2 build date 1/20/2020
*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!
*YP 3.1 M2 release date 1/31/2020
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*YP 3.1 M3 build date 2/24/2020
*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
*YP 3.1 M3 release date 3/6/2020
*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.
*YP 3.1 M4 build date  3/30/2020
*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.
*YP 3.1 M4 release date  4/24/2020
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
