'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.19 is in QA
*YP 5.0.14 is due to be released
*YP 5.1 M1 rc1 is building
*YP 5.3 rc4 is built and due to enter QA
*We identified the performance problem in bitbake using hash equivalence servers and have made changes to batch queries and improve build times
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
*Extra logging for that performance problem is available by setting BB_LOGCONFIG=XXX/bitbake/contrib/autobuilderlog.json (the more verbose logging the autobuilder uses) which will then show if initial query or rehash looping takes longer than 30s for iterations or 60s overall.
*There were a lot of problems encountered during the final 5.3 release build. Most of these should have been resolved.
*We changed locked-sigs to include the hash equivalence mapping data, removing the need to copy the cache file.
*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.
*Libtool was upgraded to the 2.5.0 alpha release, many patches were merged upstream.
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
*Qemu has been upgraded to 9.0.0, kernel headers to 6.9 and stable and dev kernel updates merged (to 6.6.32)
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
*There is one remaining issue on fedora40, systemtap-native does not build. The other Fedora 40 are believed to be fixed.
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
*Some layers are setting fallbacks for UNPACKDIR which break OE-Core by trying to claim compatibility with everything. Errors have been added to make this problem clear.
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved.
*sstate has had changes to fix a bug where build-history data was inconsistent. The siteconfig class was removed to make that change easier and improve the code, it was mostly unused anyway.
*The parallelism in the hash client was removed as batching queries is much more effective and easier on the server.
*There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990
*Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
*Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
*There is a further update from Marta/Syslinbit on the CVE tooling/patches
*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.
*Post release upgrading is resulting in an improvement in patch metrics which is great to see, more should appear next week in the statistics too.

*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 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 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_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.
