'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1.19 was released
*YP 5.1 M3 has been released
*We are now at feature freeze for 4.1 but M3 has not been built yet.
*YP 4.0.21 has been released
*We are trying to prepare for the M3 build but the status of too many issues remains uncertain. In particular:
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is being built
**llvm buildpaths patch was requested to be rewritten and the rewrite doesn’t work
*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.
**rust ppc patch was deemed incorrect
*The final pieces of the release were merged:
**layer setup changes didn’t test successfully
**sanity test for Ubuntu 24.04 userns/apparmor issue added
**rust SDK relocation patch is still in progress
**TCLIBCAPPEND properly deprecated
**concerns were raised over the rust crossbeam-utils atomics workaround
**toaster fixtures tweaked
*In addition, several other high priority (release blocking) bugs were identified in bug triage, particularly issues which are occurring intermittently but regularly and hence causing failed builds. Richard and Ross own the majority but can’t handle all these at once and rather depressingly, there was nobody to take ownership of some of them. The current list of open high bugs:
**buildtools updated
**perl builds hanging indefinitely: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14902
**non-deterministic libsdl2 configure issue fixed
**cve checking crashing intermittently with database issues: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14899
**gitsm configparser change reverted
**ptest in gcrypt intermittently but regularly failing on arm: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14800
**many other varied and useful fixes
**build path corruption when llvm is used to build mesa: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14897
*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)
**ptest infrastructure issue which stops us debugging an intermittent failure in lttng: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14901
*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.
**intermittent rust SDK host library corruption: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14892
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.
**no automated mechanism to compare releases for ptest regressions: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14897
*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

*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
