'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1.19 was released
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*We are now at feature freeze for 4.1 but M3 has not been built yet.
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*We are trying to prepare for the M3 build but the status of too many issues remains uncertain. In particular:
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
**llvm buildpaths patch was requested to be rewritten and the rewrite doesn’t work
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
**rust ppc patch was deemed incorrect
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
**layer setup changes didn’t test successfully
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
**rust SDK relocation patch is still in progress
*This change will mean “poky” as a combo-layer repository will no longer be needed or updated. This means autobuilder changes before we build 5.3 M3.
**concerns were raised over the rust crossbeam-utils atomics workaround
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*In addition, several other high priority (release blocking) bugs were identified in bug triage, particularly issues which are occurring intermittently but regularly and hence causing failed builds. Richard and Ross own the majority but can’t handle all these at once and rather depressingly, there was nobody to take ownership of some of them. The current list of open high bugs:
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
**perl builds hanging indefinitely: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14902
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
**cve checking crashing intermittently with database issues: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14899
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)
**ptest in gcrypt intermittently but regularly failing on arm: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14800
**build path corruption when llvm is used to build mesa: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14897
**ptest infrastructure issue which stops us debugging an intermittent failure in lttng: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14901
**intermittent rust SDK host library corruption: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14892
**no automated mechanism to compare releases for ptest regressions: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14897
*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

*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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 are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 4.1 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*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.
