'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*M3 has now closed and we’re at feature freeze for 3.2.
*YP 5.0.2 is in QA.
*We now have most patches merged for 3.2, the main remaining question is around the documentation. The current plan is to merge the sphinx branches into master and then build M3.
*YP 5.2 M2 is due to build next week.
*There is a new technique being used to try and mitigate some of the runtime autobuilder issues, so far the results from that have looked promising (using the runqemu-renice script).
*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.
*Some fixes for bitbake’s parsing handling have merged which hopefully will address some of the hung process issues we’ve been seeing. Some of the issues look like potential issues in upstream python multiprocessing.
*A patch changing the way the *FLAGS variables operate merged.
*There have also been significant cleanups to the server process logging and reporting of processes holding the bitbake lock.
*An autobuilder migration blocking issue with cpu emulation under qemu+KVM was identified and worked around by kernel tweaks, thanks Bruce.
*The work in enabling PRServ to work well with hash equivalence has merged.
*Some larger patches are on the list and help reviewing these would be appreciated:
*A preview of the sphinx built documentation is now available at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/, work is ongoing to complete the migration work.
**Adding SPDX 3.0 from Joshua
*We continue to struggle with a number of autobuilder intermittent bugs. 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.
**Improved CVE tooling from Marta
*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
**bitbake-setup and configuration fragments from Alexander
*For older releases, we’ve been struggling to handle these with the changing distros on the autobuilder infrastructure. We’ve managed to pull together various pieces of work to allow these older releases to be built on the infrastructure and an email discussing this was sent to the openembedded-architecture list. It will mean adding some larger series of patches to the older release branches for the yocto-autobuilder-helper and openembedded-core repositories but it is believed this is in the best interests of being able to test these older releases going forward if needed. This may also reduce the barrier to entry for new maintainers and community maintenance.
*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.


'''YP 3.2 Milestone Dates:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.2 M3 build date 2020/8/31
*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 3.2 M3 Release date 2020/9/11
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*YP 3.2 M4 build date 2020/10/5
*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 3.2 M4 Release date 2020/10/30
*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.
