'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
 
*YP 5.1.3 was released
*YP 4.1 M2 has a build in progress and then will go into QA
*YP 5.2 M3 is in QA
*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 5.0.8 is ready for QA
*The help received in resolving buildpaths issues was appreciated, particularly with the kernel where we seemed to uncover several unexpectedly.
*We are now at feature freeze for YP 5.2
*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.
*We have a new dashboard index page linking to key tools/data pages within the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/ . Help on further improvements is welcome. We are aiming to drive the data from the autobuilder.
*meta-gplv2 builds have been dropped from master and the layer will no longer be maintained.
*An infrastructure issue where git mirroring was stalling has been fixed
*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.
*There continue to be 502 gateway errors on some services due to overload from bot activity. This is impacting the autobuilder as well.
*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.
*The buildbot workers display has been fixed to allow more builds to be shown and an autobuilder build scheduling issue has been resolved allowing better resource utilization.
*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.
*We now have gitstats, SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS validation, toaster fixtures validation and wider use of central releases information within the autobuilder.
*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
*There have been improvements to the SPDX generation but these appear to have caused a significant performance regression which is being investigated.
 
*A cause of intermittent failures from a python warning has been worked around and a small race fix for bitbake was also merged.
*Fitimage and u-boot tests were reworked and rationalized which was long overdue, thanks Adrian.
*Emails have been sent about the CVE/NVD situation proposing a path forward.
*The gomod mirror issue in meta-openembedded was continuing to give failed builds on the autobuilder.The patch has been reverted in meta-openembedded for now to regain stable builds. Warnings were creeping in whilst the error was masking them. We need to fix the root cause.
*Our own systemctl python script has been replaced with the correct tool for better compatibility
*We’ve identified a significant increase in build disk usage from the rust upgrade.


'''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 4.1 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.2_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.
