'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
 
*YP 5.1 M3 has been released
*YP 4.1 M2 has a build in progress and then will go into QA
*YP 4.0.21 has been released
*Last week there seemed to be a large number of autobuilder issues including many non-deterministic dependencies for qemu, as well as a lot of intermittent buildpaths issues. These have now mostly been resolved.
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is being built
*The help received in resolving buildpaths issues was appreciated, particularly with the kernel where we seemed to uncover several unexpectedly.
*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.
*We have enabled buildpaths in WARN_QA by default. This takes our reproducibility to a new level but there is some fallout in layers which will need to be fixed.
*The final pieces of the release were merged:
*meta-gplv2 builds have been dropped from master and the layer will no longer be maintained.
**sanity test for Ubuntu 24.04 userns/apparmor issue added
*We’ve noticed that debug information is still not being processed by package.bbclass entirely correctly and it is missing a large chunk of the kernel sources for example. RP is trying to debug this.
**TCLIBCAPPEND properly deprecated
*There are continued reports of issues with the rust SDK compiler. Sadly we just have patches to make x86_64 work rather than getting to the root of the issues and cross compile it correctly, which is a concern.
**toaster fixtures tweaked
*Work is continuing on the /proc/pressure monitoring code. Initial averaging wasn’t working so well but we have an improved approach which seems to regulate builds better.
**buildtools updated
*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
**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

We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
