'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.20 is in QA
*YP 4.0.20 is due to be released
*YP 5.1 M2 is due to be built now SPDX 3.0 has merged
*YP 5.1 M2 is in QA
*SPDX 3.0 has merged, thanks Joshua, Marta and everyone else who has worked on this.
*There is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarball and SDK). We’d love assistance in moving this forward and getting some kind of upstream feature merged to make this easier: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260
*We’ve chosen to make SPDX 3.0 the default since it is much more suited to what we do.
*SPDX 3.0 has merged and is now the default.
*A number of QA checks were moved from WARN_QA to ERROR_QA. The intention is to allow recipes to be marked up with known issues rather than have builds with warnings people tend to ignore, or ideally have the issues fixed.
*We updated to glibc 2.40, thanks Khem. There is an issue with building pseudo under the new glibc version which is being worked on.
*If layers choose to change ERROR_QA, please do it on a per layer basis with an override, not globally,
*We identified an issue which meant warnings/errors in nativesdk recipes were not showing on our autobuilder. We have the fix for the CI issue ready as soon as we fix those warnings/errors, the gcc path problems are proving tricky.
*An upcoming version of Yocto Project Compatible will require some subset of the ERROR_QA checks to be tested and passed for the layer to be compatible.
*We were able to optimize some space usage in builds, thanks Ross. The results are visible on our performance charts, e.g.: https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20240723-5/testresults/buildperf-alma8/perf-alma8_master_20240723030045_28fd497a26.html https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20240723-4/testresults/buildperf-debian11/perf-debian11_master_20240722200022_28fd497a26.html
*Debug optimization handling was changed, the DEBUG_FLAGS variable was dropped in favor of a new DEBUG_LEVELFLAG which allows distros to more easily change recipe debug levels, in particular to control size.
*Further help on optimizing build disk usage would be most welcome.
*The autobuilder has been running into space issues and we analyzed space usage in a build. Patches are proposed to drop the debug symbols for on target llvm to reduce space usage (along with teaks to qemu and openssl) as the output size is effectively unusable currently. Further work on minimizing disk usage would be very welcome and there is a direct relationship with build speed too.
*Autobuilder test result/output indexing has been moved to a specific autobuilder job so the work is more visible to all users (the ‘indexing’ builder). The script has been optimized and the output html cleaned up by Sovereign Tech *Fund sponsorship through their contractors: https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/
*Some larger patches still need help with review these would be appreciated:

**Improved CVE tooling from Marta

*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’ve been trying to resolve some of the longer standing patches in review and are getting more caught up.
*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. Rust 1.77 has a much smaller list of problems at least in initial testing.
