Key Status/Updates:

YP 5.2 M3 is due to be released
YP 5.0.8 is due to be released
YP 5.1.4 is in QA
We are at feature freeze for YP 5.2 with our first rc build next week
We have continued to merge gcc 15 fixes in anticipation of being prepared for host distro changes in the next six months.
The minimum python version was increased to 3.9 with support for Ubuntu 20.04 now requiring buildtools due to changing g++ requirements.
SRC_URI entries for git now support tag verification against a specified source revision
Bitbake fetcher support for multiple revisions in a single git SRC_URI entry was removed for code simplification.
Kernel stable updates merged including a key qemumips fix and various CVE fixes.
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.
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.

Ways to contribute:

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 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.
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.
Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
Ongoing project 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 as it will allow us to potentially find ways to fund specific work items.

-*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.
+*We have continued to merge gcc 15 fixes in anticipation of being prepared for host distro changes in the next six months.
-*An infrastructure issue where git mirroring was stalling has been fixed
+*The minimum python version was increased to 3.9 with support for Ubuntu 20.04 now requiring buildtools due to changing g++ requirements.
-*There continue to be 502 gateway errors on some services due to overload from bot activity. This is impacting the autobuilder as well.
+*SRC_URI entries for git now support tag verification against a specified source revision
-*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.
+*Bitbake fetcher support for multiple revisions in a single git SRC_URI entry was removed for code simplification.
-*We now have gitstats, SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS validation, toaster fixtures validation and wider use of central releases information within the autobuilder.
+*Kernel stable updates merged including a key qemumips fix and various CVE fixes.
-*There have been improvements to the SPDX generation but these appear to have caused a significant performance regression which is being investigated.
+*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.
-*A cause of intermittent failures from a python warning has been worked around and a small race fix for bitbake was also merged.
+*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.
-*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.
