'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.20 is due to be released
*YP 5.3 M3 is in QA
*YP 5.1 M2 is in QA
*YP 5.0.13 is under review for release
*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
*Documentation updates related to many of the recent changes are in progress, thanks to all who have helped on these.
*SPDX 3.0 has merged and is now the default.
*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:
*We updated to glibc 2.40, thanks Khem. There is an issue with building pseudo under the new glibc version which is being worked on.
**check-layer tests are now running under nodistro instead of poky, so some layers are failing as they assume some DISTRO_FEATURES are enabled.
*We identified an issue which meant warnings/errors in nativesdk recipes were not showing on our autobuilder. We have the fix for the CI issue ready as soon as we fix those warnings/errors, the gcc path problems are proving tricky.
**Toaster is broken with bitbake-setup (#16012). Help moving to supporting non-poky layouts would be good if anyone is using Toaster.
*We were able to optimize some space usage in builds, thanks Ross. The results are visible on our performance charts, e.g.: https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20240723-5/testresults/buildperf-alma8/perf-alma8_master_20240723030045_28fd497a26.html https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20240723-4/testresults/buildperf-debian11/perf-debian11_master_20240722200022_28fd497a26.html
**The patch/cve metrics jobs need reviewing to be sure they’re correct with bitbake-setup (#16013)
*Further help on optimizing build disk usage would be most welcome.
**The build performance jobs don’t know that poky and oe-core are the same so the charts are currently wrong (#16014)
*Some larger patches still need help with review these would be appreciated:
**Help welcomed to resolve these issues!
**Improved CVE tooling from Marta
*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.
**kernel fitimage changes from Adrian
*“poky” as a combo-layer repository will soon no longer be needed or updated for master and whinlatter branches.
**bitbake-setup and configuration fragments from Alexander
*There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related to ongoing security concerns.
*We’ve been trying to resolve some of the longer standing patches in review and are getting more caught up.


'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.20 was released
*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!
*YP 5.1 M2 is due to be released
*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
*A new wiki page summarizing options for meta-gplv2 replacement was created: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Meta-gpl2_layer_replacement (thanks Khem)
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
*A document giving a brief overview of the Yocto Project Autobuilder/Infrastructure has been shared: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/images/0/04/Yocto_Project_Autobuilder.pdf and will be discussed on today’s engineering sync call.
*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
*Autobuilder intermittent issues continue to cause concern but if we don’t have anyone able to work on them there is little we can do.
*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.
*A bug in pseudo around the resolution of symlinks was identified and a fix merged, thanks to the reporter for sending a good test case!
*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.
*We cleaned up a lot of python dependencies and added some extra tests, thanks Ross.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*The rustdoc reproducibility issue was found and fixed, thanks Sundeep! We will now be able to upgrade rust to newer versions although further issues remain in some newer versions.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*The new mesa version requires meta-clang for the intel drivers. We need to make a decision on how to handle this, clang is likely to make its way to core at some point but work is needed to make the overrides suitable for core before that can happen.
*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.
