'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are now two weeks away from feature freeze for 4.3.
*YP 5.0.5 is under review
*YP 3.1.27 was released
*YP 4.0.23 is in QA
*YP 4.0.12 is in QA.
*Patch merging is continuing to flow but there are a lot of upgrades pending after the recent AUH run.
*The 6.4 kernel upgrade is still blocked as we’ve seen two nasty looking hangs in automated testing: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/148/builds/349/steps/12/logs/stdio https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/148/builds/354/steps/12/logs/stdio as well as a preempt-rt boot error that appears more consistently: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/72/builds/7616/steps/36/logs/stdio The intermittent issues are a significant risk to automated testing stability and it is hard to know how to proceed as few people are willing/able to help with them. We’ve upgraded qemu 8.0.3 -> 8.0.4 just in case that helps.
*A patch is pending to remove support for BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY
*The various systemd issues have mostly been resolved although the AUH did break as a result and will have to be fixed and rerun.
*Yocto Project Compatible (and hence yocto-check-layer) is potentially undergoing some small tweaks which includes checking for SECURITY files in repository top levels, checking for network access outside do_fetch as part of normal builds and checking for disabled QA checks.  
*Build layout changed slightly with the removal of PE and PR from the WORKDIR path.
*A potential new “include_all” conf file directive (discussed on the openembedded-architecture list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2055 ) has no strong objections and is proceeding to proof of concept
*There are patches pending which remove source control revisions from PV and move them to PKGV, further simplifying WORKDIR paths and generally improving the code and the way AUTOREV works. This allows SRCPV to be removed as it is no longer needed.
*There are patches under review for the addition of configuration fragment management to bitbake. It does require the addition of support for ‘/’ characters in variable flag names (which has been requested in the past too).
*Significant fixes were made to both the binutils and gcc testsuites which avoid many of the mips toolchain test failures. The failure counts are roughly the same (few hundred) for each architecture now resulting in ~3200 failures overall.
*The 5.2 development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing
*There are now consistently ~200 ltp ‘controllers’ failures on both arm and x86 targets.
*We need to continue to develop this, thanks to all who have contributed so far!
*A new uninative version was released to add some patches to patchelf to avoid bugs.
*A new test addition to oe-selftest caused another test to fail consistently on the autobuilder and this has been tracked down to one test corrupting the other if they run in the same TMPDIR. This only happens with specific parallelism settings where they happen to run together or with no parallelism.
*We continue to see intermittent ptest failures for glib-networking, mdadm and openssh, help would be much appreciated.
*CVE metrics are worrying with significant numbers of open CVEs against master, many of them kernel related. The 6.4 upgrade should help but that is blocked. Mickledore is also badly affected with a record high count. https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/

*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!
