'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.2 M1 and YP 4.0.6 passed QA and are due for release.
*YP 5.1 M3 is due to be released
*Builds on the autobuilder are problematic at present due to connection losses with the controller machine. We understand the cause and will be migrating the controller to a new server/location to address this.
*YP 4.0.21 is in QA
*That, combined with OOM issues from recent bitbake cache changes meant patches are merging more slowly this week.
*We are now at feature freeze and working on bug fixing for the final 5.1 release builds
*There are a number of bitbake patches pending which are a bit more invasive than usual. These are aiming to address:
*Due to timing of autobuilder infrastructure changes, vacations, no release blocking bugs and also seemingly limited availability of people to help with general bug fixing, we are considering an early M4 build, maybe even this week. If that would cause problems for anyone, please let Richard/the TSC know ASAP.
**memory issues seen with the recent cache changes and bitbake -S
*Support for TCLIBCAPPEND was dropped.
**UI hangs where the bitbake server has crashed/hung or otherwise failed
*We updated to only support the “styhead” layer series namespace.
**issues where bitbake may have removed another server instances bitbake.sock network socket file
*The new autobuilder infrastructure is showing a number of challenges including some new bugs, new intermittent issues, challenges with new distros and a new reproducibility issue but we’re working through them
**console interaction issues where bitbake may not respond to Ctrl+C
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.
**event handler race issues around datastore accesses
*Upcoming Event:  For those attending OSS EU in Vienna, Yocto Project Developer Day Sept. 19th 9am-5pm.
*The OE TSC decided in favour of adding export flag expansion despite the performance impact so that patch will be queued.
*Register here: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-europe/features/co-located-events/#yocto-project-developer-day
*CVE levels in master are concerning again
*With some debugging, the bitbake.sock disappearance was potentially identified and also issues with OOM process killing locking up bitbake’s server and UI were studied.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*There will be no status report next week, the next will be 3rd January 2023.

*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.
