'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.0.4 was released
*YP 5.0.2 is in QA.
*M3 is due to close at the end of the week and this is the feature freeze point for 3.2
*YP 5.2 M2 is due to build next week.
*After much debugging, we’ve concluded the bitbake cooker/server launch process is terminally flawed, you can’t fork a python process into two independent python processes and have the internal python state machinery work correctly. *As such, we’re going to have to make some major changes to the way the bitbake cooker/server startup happens.
*An issue with code content in python library functions and their effect on task hashes was identified and improvements have merged to bitbake for this.
*On a positive note, those server changes have forced many of the memory resident bitbake bugs to the surface and the new code appears to fix them, bringing memres bitbake much closer to being usable, maybe even becoming a default in this release if testing goes well.
*A patch changing the way the *FLAGS variables operate merged.
*There is concern about invasive changes like this with regard to LTS/dunfell where these bitbake bugs are also present. Ultimately we will make a decision about backporting based upon patch stability and user feedback from the LTS users.
*An autobuilder migration blocking issue with cpu emulation under qemu+KVM was identified and worked around by kernel tweaks, thanks Bruce.
*The number of autobuilder intermittent bugs has continued to rise unfortunately. 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 with any of these would be much appreciated, unfortunately it is proving hard to find anyone interested in helping figure these out and they significantly hamper our testing.
*Some larger patches are on the list and help reviewing these would be appreciated:
*One way to help the project is to help us with bugs that are currently unassigned but ideally needed during YP 3.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
**Adding SPDX 3.0 from Joshua
*There is a proposal on the bitbake list to remove globbing support from file:// urls. Usage of these urls currently breaks source file checksumming which users don’t realise, it can’t be fixed in a sane way so and the most common use cases has easy alternatives such as referencing a directory as a file:// url without globs so removing globbing support appears to be the best way forward.
**Improved CVE tooling from Marta
*We have switched to the 5.8 kernel by default, it's taken a while to get through all the different issues but we appear to be there now, thanks to Bruce for working through many of them!
**bitbake-setup and configuration fragments from Alexander
*Some long standing musl SDK issues should be resolved now.
*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
**The letter has proved helpful in discussions and helping influence changes at CISA and the CVE Project so has already been useful.
*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc. We tested rust 1.78 with master and there is a long list of reported issues on the mailing list unfortunately.


'''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.
