'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.4 has been released. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
*YP 5.1 M3 has been released
*YP 3.3.4 is due to build this week and will be the last planned release of the hardknott series.
*YP 4.0.21 has been released
*YP 3.5 Planning document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OXw-NKoL_Vb9RWI6sRPs3zTcAn4hHPtG0Y2BIs7xIzo/edit?usp=sharing
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is being built
*Git’s default branch choice could potentially change in the future and we’re seeing service providers like github change policy too. To react to this variability the project really needs to start encoding the branch name used in SRC_URI rather than having a default of master. OE-Core has been converted and there is a script ( scripts/contrib/convert-srcuri.py) to help with conversions. Bitbake will start warning where this is unset soon (patch in master-next).
*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.
*Github has announced that git protocol support will be dropped as of January. We use this in a number of our SRC_URIs. This has been discussed on the architecture list and we have a plan to warn (and later error) on problematic urls and magically map to the correct urls within bitbake. The latter change is easily backported to older bitbake releases and will allow older branches to continue to function without invasive changes. The conversion script mentioned above can also convert github urls.
*The final pieces of the release were merged:
*We have seen a drop in the number of patches in “Pending” state, partly thanks to work from Richard to send libtool and gcc patches upstream or otherwise clean them up. Others are also stepping forward to try and reduce the number of patches in Pending state, help would be much appreciated as spread over a number of people this could be quickly handled and reduced.
**sanity test for Ubuntu 24.04 userns/apparmor issue added
*Intermittent issues continue to rise and help is very much welcome on these 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
**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.


'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*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!
*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
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*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’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.
