'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
*Bug Triage meeting Thursday November 23, 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)
*YP 5.1 M3 is in QA
*Weekly Engineering Sync Tuesday November 21st at 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.
<br/>
*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.
*YP 4.0.14 and YP 3.1.29 were released
*Upcoming Event: For those attending OSS EU in Vienna, Yocto Project Developer Day Sept. 19th 9am-5pm.
*YP 4.2.4  has passed QA and under discussion pending release
*Register here: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-europe/features/co-located-events/#yocto-project-developer-day
*Toaster news:
**Testing for toaster is now starting to be enabled on the autobuilder although not all tests are currently passing and there are host specific issues.  
**The ability to view existing builds is being extended to allow debugging use of toaster even if the original build didn’t use it
*In support of the above, BB_DEFAULT_EVENTLOG is being proposed as enabled by default in bitbake.conf so that an event log is stored for all builds. This could be useful for debugging outside of toaster in other tools too. There is a small performance/disk footprint overhead but this should be offset by the useful debug data.
*The length of builds (world and oe-selftest) continues to be a concern.
*When running the first nanbield stable series builds, our LTS maintainer remarked on being unable to get successful green builds. We did make significant improvements on the intermittent issues prior to release but clearly not enough unfortunately. Troubling issues include:
**https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15005 - parsing failure on ubuntu2004/debian11 systems, maybe python/pthreads related with host python
**https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15166 - debuginfod issues (Ross has some debugging improvements pending)
**Devtool “initial_rev” race issue, an example failure: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/87/builds/6082/steps/14/logs/stdio
**several intermittent pstest issues
*There have been several fixes for meta-openembedded reproducibility issues and fixes for mirroring/CVE reporting on stable release branches, thanks Yoann.

*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!

*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

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.
