'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*The M3 rc1 QA report is available but the regression report failed, raising a dilemma on whether to release, the TSC needs to discuss
*YP 5.1 M3 has been released
*YP 3.1.28 is in QA
*YP 4.0.21 has been released
*The numpy reproducibility issue remains
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is being built
*The openssh ptest intermittent failure does have better logs available but we’ve yet to decode what it means: http://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20230917-2/testresults/qemuarm64-ptest/openssh.log
*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.
*A significant flaw was found in bitbake’s inotify usage which has been causing rare intermittent build failures. These would only affect usage where BB_SERVER_TIMEOUT was enabled or tinfoil was used (e.g. recipetool, devtool, bitbake-layers). The issue means we’ve switched to using stat() calls and mtime to detect changes. External tools using tinfoil which change files will need to add an API call to have bitbake refresh its caches.
*The final pieces of the release were merged:
*On a positive note, those issues do explain some of the timeout and AB-INT failures that have been puzzling us for some time. Fixing it also allows the flush() call removal in server logging, which should improve bitbake server’s performance during heavy I/O.
**sanity test for Ubuntu 24.04 userns/apparmor issue added
*There are patches pending to tweak the layout of deploy/licenses/ and SPDX’s file layout to avoid overlapping files in builds breaking due to “shared” files being removed unexpectedly. We will likely enforce non-overlapping files for symlinks under sstate control going forward to avoid these issues in future.
**TCLIBCAPPEND properly deprecated
*We are continuing to see large numbers of version upgrades of recipes, some of which are having destabilizing effects. This may mean we have to reduce the numbers being accepted to stabilize for release.
**toaster fixtures tweaked
*We’re happy to be able to announce that some of the work in the RFQ will now be progressing, specifically that:
**buildtools updated
**Marta Rybczynska (Syslinbit) will be working on the security topic
**non-deterministic libsdl2 configure issue fixed
**Alexander Kanvin (Linutronix) will be working on the core workflow topic
**gitsm configparser change reverted
**Savoir-faire Linux will be working on the toaster and VSCode topics
**many other varied and useful fixes
**BayLibre will be working on the patchtest and project tooling topics
*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)
**Michael Opdenacker (Bootlin) will be working on the binary distro topic
*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.
**Smile will be working on the meta-openembedded topic area
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.
We’d also note that Tim Orling (Konsulko) will be working on the layer index.

*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!
