Bug Triage meeting - Thursday July 3rd at 7:30 am PST (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)
Weekly Project Engineering Sync - Tuesday July 1st at 8 am PST (https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09)
Yocto Project Patch Review - Thursday July 3rd 10am GMT and Monday July 7th 9am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/97762397148?pwd=1xkiC9hp9SjEonaTaONwTb6iWry4Eb.1)

Project data dashboard: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/

Key Status/Updates:

YP 5.3 M1 is due to be released. One issue was found which needs to be fixed during M2: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15915
- Help in debugging and fixing this would be very welcome.
YP 4.0.28 is in QA.
Patches continue to merge into master for upgrades and fixes.
There were git tag improvements meaning we can now start adding these to SRC_URIs in all cases as shallow clone tarballs now account for them.
The clang build time and size increases continue to cause significant concern.
Patches to improve gomod support in devtool merged.
The main mirroring issues left are around “downloadfilename” support in urls which likely needs to be rewritten.
OE_SHARED_UMASK was added to control the umask used for files created in the shared DL_DIR and SSTATE_DIR directories.
For M2, the following changes have been mentioned as possibilities:
- bitbake-setup
- wic split from OE-Core
- RISC-V tune changes (part 2)
- switch classextend to use [filter] support from bitbake

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://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.3_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.

-*The UNPACKDIR layout changes merged. This has been disruptive for layers and it will take a while for changes to filter through various layers. It does set up better in the future with tools like devtool to avoid having lots of legacy layouts to support, and cleans up git recipes to be easier to write going forward.
