'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*The YP 4.3 (M4) rc2 is in QA.
*YP 5.0.14 is due to be released
*For the 4.3 release, the 6.5 serial port issues caused the rc1 build to fail. That combined with a serious patchtest behavior meant we rebuilt and submitted an rc2 to QA. There were several abandoned builds due to infrastructure issues. We are now using the upstream kernel serial fix.
*YP 5.3 rc4 is built and due to enter QA
*Our release branch (nanbield) and master have now diverged to keep the patch backlog under control so development patches are merging to master.
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
*Patchtest work is progressing and we’re nearly at the point where it will be replying live to emails on list. Examples of the responses can be seen on our test mailing list: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/test-list .
*There were a lot of problems encountered during the final 5.3 release build. Most of these should have been resolved.
*Source mirroring and reproducibility testing for meta-openembedded are now available on the project autobuilder.
*Patches started to merge for master development again. Unfortunately there is breakage on the autobuilder, probably from issues arising from Fedora 43 binaries being incompatible with older distros. Until this is resolved, patch flow will be limited.
*The project is now strongly suggesting source code repositories have a SECURITY.md file to ensure users know what to do if they encounter a security issue. We are trying to ensure all key project repositories contain these. Patches are welcome and we’re encouraging all maintainers to follow this best practice.
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
*The layer index has seen development work to ensure it uses secure components, can handle changes in practice (such as main branches), can illustrate Yocto Project Compatible status and that the errors/warnings generated from builds are under control. Thanks Tim!
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
*After consultation and discussions the project is now about to document its security processes to complete the work in this area. Please watch the mailing lists such as the architecture list if you have an interest in this area.
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
 
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved.

*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 4.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs

*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.
