'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0.5 was released.
*YP 5.2 M3 is due to be released
*YP 4.0.23 is in under review.
*YP 5.0.8 is due to be released
*Patch merging is continuing to flow but there are a lot of upgrades pending that were recently posted.
*YP 5.1.4 is in QA
*BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY was removed.
*We are at feature freeze for YP 5.2 with our first rc build next week
*yocto-check-layer is now checking for SECURITY files and there are changes planned for increasing the QA checks tested for.
*We have continued to merge gcc 15 fixes in anticipation of being prepared for host distro changes in the next six months.
*The yocto-testresults repository was reworked and the commits recreated to avoid problems with the size of the repository. The log files were separated to an http share here: https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/testresult-logarchives/
*The minimum python version was increased to 3.9 with support for Ubuntu 20.04 now requiring buildtools due to changing g++ requirements.
*These changes pose a question/challenge for the stable branches. The changes mean we should avoid breaking git mirroring.
*SRC_URI entries for git now support tag verification against a specified source revision
*As a result of this work, the reproducible builds summary page now functions much faster.
*Bitbake fetcher support for multiple revisions in a single git SRC_URI entry was removed for code simplification.
*Several performance tweaks were made for bitbake pipe handling for large amounts of log data to avoid slow ptest builds and hangs.
*Kernel stable updates merged including a key qemumips fix and various CVE fixes.
*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
*A pseudo bug was identified and there is a reproduction patch posted however we’re struggling to work out how to fix it. We do have a workaround for the underlying pciutils trigger.
*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).
*We are aware of 500/502 errors from the project git servers. These are caused by load from the significant number of AI crawlers the infrastructure is being overloaded with which is hard to mitigate against.
*The 5.2 development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing
*We need to continue to develop this, thanks to all who have contributed so far!
