'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.2 M2 was released
*YP 5.2 M3 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.7 is under review and passed QA
*YP 5.0.8 is due to be released
*We are now 3 weeks from feature freeze for 5.2
*YP 5.1.4 is in QA
*The project autobuilder has upgraded the controller to buildbot 4.2 which was tricky due to our custom plugin and changes to the framework used for the UI. The new UI should have the same functionality and seems faster and easier to use in places.
*We are at feature freeze for YP 5.2 with our first rc build next week
*We’d like to request help to process the open github pull requests for openembedded-core and bitbake:
*We have continued to merge gcc 15 fixes in anticipation of being prepared for host distro changes in the next six months.
**https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/pulls
*The minimum python version was increased to 3.9 with support for Ubuntu 20.04 now requiring buildtools due to changing g++ requirements.
**https://github.com/openembedded/bitbake/pulls
*SRC_URI entries for git now support tag verification against a specified source revision
*Having these open doesn’t look good for the projects and we can’t disable them, some have been open for a long time. We did already clean up the poky pull requests.
*Bitbake fetcher support for multiple revisions in a single git SRC_URI entry was removed for code simplification.
*The project has agreed guidance on AI submissions: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/message/6300
*Kernel stable updates merged including a key qemumips fix and various CVE fixes.
*There are multiple occasional but annoying autobuilder failures we could do with help debugging/fixing, summarized by https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/ :
*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.
**An occasional hang for non-kvm x86/x86-64 qemu images early in boot, see in multiple kernels including the recent 6.12:
*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.
***https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/28/builds/955
***https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15463
**dnf failures in where ssh appears to fail, usually on qemumips but also seen on qemuarm: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13674
**Ongoing CDN failures
**New memory allocation issues hinting we may need to scale builds back
*We are open to help developing patches to help debug issue further or other ideas on the causes and/or ways to mitigate them
*The Linux Foundation published information on navigating global regulations and sanctions: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/navigating-global-regulations-and-open-source-us-ofac-sanctions
*Please contact TSC members if there are questions/concerns.
*The gomod mirror issue in meta-openembedded continues to give failed builds on the autobuilder.
*Gold linker support was removed from core.
*Linux 6.6 was removed so we now just have the 6.12 kernel we plan to release YP 5.2 with.
*The performance metric charts were improved to be able to show both commit based and time based data, allowing performance changes to be isolated more easily.
*The triage team decided to clear out the “newcomer” bugs in bugzilla since the remaining ones were likely too hard without specialist knowledge. We’d love to see new/realist newcomer bugs being added.
*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!
