'''SWAT Team Rotation:'''<br/>
'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
*Bug Triage meeting Thursday Sept. 19th at 7:30 am PST (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)
*Weekly Project Engineering Sync Tuesday Sept. 17th at 8 am PST (https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09)
*Twitch -  See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester


*SWAT lead is currently: Armin
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*SWAT team rotation: Armin -> Anuj on Dec. 21, 2018
*YP 5.1 M3 has been released
*SWAT team rotation: Anuj -> Paul on Nov. 28, 2018
*YP 4.0.21 has been released
*https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Build_Failure_Swat_Team
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is being built
*There are YP 5.2 proposed milestone dates https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TDrD9nFjosvLHa7EfL_Y1-1slK7u5Am6NZV6QRF2P6s/edit - please review and let us know if there are any concerns.
*The final pieces of the release were merged:
**sanity test for Ubuntu 24.04 userns/apparmor issue added
**TCLIBCAPPEND properly deprecated
**toaster fixtures tweaked
**buildtools updated
**non-deterministic libsdl2 configure issue fixed
**gitsm configparser change reverted
**many other varied and useful fixes
*Since there is now an rc build heading to QA, master and styhead will diverge. There are some patches in master-next which were deemed too late/risky for the release (including the gomod class changes)
*The new autobuilder has had NAS problems when scaled to final size, those are being worked on but it will delay switching to the new system a little.
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.


'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*The next status report will be published on 2019/1/2 as we expect things to slow down over the holiday season in many locations.
*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 2.5.2 rc1 is out of QA and should release today or tomorrow.
*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
*YP 2.7 M1 is in QA.
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*The distrodata bbclass in OE-Core is being removed since the tinfoil API provides a much better way to handle this kind of issue/data.
*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
*We discovered potential hash collision issues with some of bitbake’s caching of objects so we are likely going to change to use sha256 everywhere including for sstate objects.
*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.
*There are occasional issues continuing in oe-selftest which we’re struggling to get to the bottom of unfortunately.
*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.
*There are some patches like the perl upgrade which are blocked on merging due to limited help in fixing fallout from them in layers like meta-openembedded. Khem in particular does a great job but we can’t rely on him alone.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
