'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0 rc1 is building but has many (6+) failures in the build so will have to be abandoned.
*YP 5.1.3 was released
*The final dunfell build will follow 5.0 into QA.
*YP 5.2 M3 is in QA
*The master branch has diverged from scarthgap.
*YP 5.0.8 is ready for QA
*For 5.0, we were able to switch to the new hash equivalence server however the need for websockets complicated the worker configuration and needed new buildtools tarball versions which are causing various problems.
*We are now at feature freeze for YP 5.2
*During the rc1 build as well as pip and setuptools issues within buildtools, we also saw a qemuppc boot issue, an instance of the spdx dependency problem, an sstate mirror issue and a github network error. This highlights how important fixing these is over the release cycle. The volume of these may impact our ability to maintain the LTS.
*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.
*Thanks to everyone who sent documentation patches, we’re in much better shape with the migration guide and release notes now. Further improvements are still very welcome.
*An infrastructure issue where git mirroring was stalling has been fixed
*The “Binary Distro” work is now well underway and there are PR Server passthrough and image testing patches under review. The wiki page has had a number of policy/process proposals documented, help is welcome to help improve these, or highlight where further documentation is needed.
*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 patches for improving the build performance graphs in review. Sample output from the changes is here and here.
*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.
*There are also patches under review for the patch/cve metrics page to improve the usability.
*We now have gitstats, SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS validation, toaster fixtures validation and wider use of central releases information within the autobuilder.
*We continue to watch the NIST NVD (CVE database) situation, the recent update didn’t clarify much. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a clear path forward as yet but using data directly from MITRE may help give partial information. These issues are making it hard to know what to include in the 5.0 release as it isn’t clear which changes are security related.
*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.

*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

*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.
