'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are now at feature freeze for 4.3.
*YP 5.1.3 was released
*YP 4.0.12 was released
*YP 5.2 M3 is in QA
*YP 4.2.3 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.8 is ready for QA
*The qemuppc ssh command hangs continues to be a mystery. It seems to be something in recent master that regressed it but it isn’t the kernel, the binutils upgrade, systemd or glibc or qemu. We’ve not seen any other hangs so the x86 issues may have been something else.
*We are now at feature freeze for YP 5.2
*The acl/xattr changes are blocked on a hard requirement on tar 1.35, it is unclear how we’d achieve that in all cases.
*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.
*Patches have been resubmitted to radically alter the do_unpack process for license compliance reasons. The code is complex and hard to understand and will have a performance impact on builds as well as making things hard to debug. The risk of not taking the changes is that for some legal departments, the SPDX data isn’t detailed enough. The compromise between performance and ease of use vs. legal requirements is a tough one. We don’t really want to have two codepaths either. Feedback/review on the series welcome.
*An infrastructure issue where git mirroring was stalling has been fixed
*We continue to see intermittent ptest failures for glib-networking and openssh, help would be much appreciated.
*There continue to be 502 gateway errors on some services due to overload from bot activity. This is impacting the autobuilder as well.
*The M3 build will depend upon reaching conclusions in several of these areas
*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.
*We’re happy to be able to announce that some of the work in the RFQ will now be progressing, specifically that:
*We now have gitstats, SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS validation, toaster fixtures validation and wider use of central releases information within the autobuilder.
**Marta Rybczynska will be working on the security topic
*There have been improvements to the SPDX generation but these appear to have caused a significant performance regression which is being investigated.
**Alexander Kanvin will be working on the core workflow topic
*A cause of intermittent failures from a python warning has been worked around and a small race fix for bitbake was also merged.
**Savoir-faire Linux will be working on the toaster and VSCode topics
*Fitimage and u-boot tests were reworked and rationalized which was long overdue, thanks Adrian.
**BayLibre will be working on the patchtest and project tooling topics
*Emails have been sent about the CVE/NVD situation proposing a path forward.
The other remaining topic areas should be announced soon.
*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.
We’d also note that Tim Orling (Konsulko) will be working on the layer index.
*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.

*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!

*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

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.
