'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.2 M1 and YP 4.0.6 passed QA and are due for release.
*YP 5.3 M3 is in QA
*Builds on the autobuilder are problematic at present due to connection losses with the controller machine. We understand the cause and will be migrating the controller to a new server/location to address this.
*YP 5.0.13 is under review for release
*That, combined with OOM issues from recent bitbake cache changes meant patches are merging more slowly this week.
*Documentation updates related to many of the recent changes are in progress, thanks to all who have helped on these.
*There are a number of bitbake patches pending which are a bit more invasive than usual. These are aiming to address:
*We have now past feature freeze for YP 5.3. To be accepted, patches that have a high bar until after we branch master from whinlatter. Known issues:
**memory issues seen with the recent cache changes and bitbake -S
**check-layer tests are now running under nodistro instead of poky, so some layers are failing as they assume some DISTRO_FEATURES are enabled.
**UI hangs where the bitbake server has crashed/hung or otherwise failed
**Toaster is broken with bitbake-setup (#16012). Help moving to supporting non-poky layouts would be good if anyone is using Toaster.
**issues where bitbake may have removed another server instances bitbake.sock network socket file
**The patch/cve metrics jobs need reviewing to be sure they’re correct with bitbake-setup (#16013)
**console interaction issues where bitbake may not respond to Ctrl+C
**The build performance jobs don’t know that poky and oe-core are the same so the charts are currently wrong (#16014)
**event handler race issues around datastore accesses
**Help welcomed to resolve these issues!
*The OE TSC decided in favour of adding export flag expansion despite the performance impact so that patch will be queued.
*Upstream linux kernel just end-of-life’d 6.16 but whinlatter contains 6.16. We are evaluating the situation with 6.17, feedback on it (for/against and known issues) would be welcome.
*CVE levels in master are concerning again
*“poky” as a combo-layer repository will soon no longer be needed or updated for master and whinlatter branches.
*With some debugging, the bitbake.sock disappearance was potentially identified and also issues with OOM process killing locking up bitbake’s server and UI were studied.
*There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related to ongoing security concerns.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*There will be no status report next week, the next will be 3rd January 2023.

*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: patchtest, layerindex, 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 identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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 that are currently unassigned for YP 4.2 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*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.
