Current Dev Position: YP 5.1 Feature Freeze and Bug Fixing<br/>
Next Deadline: 28th August 2023 YP 4.3 M3 build date<br/>

'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
*Bug Triage meeting Thursday August 17th 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)
*YP 5.1 M3 is in QA
*Weekly Engineering Sync Tuesday August 15th 8 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09)
*We are now at feature freeze and working on bug fixing for the final 5.1 release builds
*Twitch -  See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester
*Some limited recipe upgrades may be taken in M4 depending on their value of bug fixes vs breaking changes/features.
 
*Fixes to make ERROR_QA only rebuild tasks it directly affects were merged, which will improve sstate reuse from the project servers significantly.
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.
*We are now two weeks away from feature freeze for 4.3.
*Upcoming Event:  For those attending OSS EU in Vienna, Yocto Project Developer Day Sept. 19th 9am-5pm.
*YP 3.1.27 was released
*Register here: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-europe/features/co-located-events/#yocto-project-developer-day
*YP 4.0.12 is in QA.
*The 6.4 kernel upgrade is still blocked as we’ve seen two nasty looking hangs in automated testing: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/148/builds/349/steps/12/logs/stdio https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/148/builds/354/steps/12/logs/stdio as well as a preempt-rt boot error that appears more consistently: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/72/builds/7616/steps/36/logs/stdio The intermittent issues are a significant risk to automated testing stability and it is hard to know how to proceed as few people are willing/able to help with them. We’ve upgraded qemu 8.0.3 -> 8.0.4 just in case that helps.
*The various systemd issues have mostly been resolved although the AUH did break as a result and will have to be fixed and rerun.
Build layout changed slightly with the removal of PE and PR from the WORKDIR path.
There are patches pending which remove source control revisions from PV and move them to PKGV, further simplifying WORKDIR paths and generally improving the code and the way AUTOREV works. This allows SRCPV to be removed as it is no longer needed.
*Significant fixes were made to both the binutils and gcc testsuites which avoid many of the mips toolchain test failures. The failure counts are roughly the same (few hundred) for each architecture now resulting in ~3200 failures overall.
*There are now consistently ~200 ltp ‘controllers’ failures on both arm and x86 targets.
*A new uninative version was released to add some patches to patchelf to avoid bugs.
*A new test addition to oe-selftest caused another test to fail consistently on the autobuilder and this has been tracked down to one test corrupting the other if they run in the same TMPDIR. This only happens with specific parallelism settings where they happen to run together or with no parallelism.
*We continue to see intermittent ptest failures for glib-networking, mdadm and openssh, help would be much appreciated.
*CVE metrics are worrying with significant numbers of open CVEs against master, many of them kernel related. The 6.4 upgrade should help but that is blocked. Mickledore is also badly affected with a record high count. https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/

*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: patchtest, layerindex, 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!
