'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.20 was released
* YP 5.0.15 was released
*YP 5.1 M2 is due to be released
* YP 5.3.1 is under review
*A new wiki page summarizing options for meta-gplv2 replacement was created: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Meta-gpl2_layer_replacement (thanks Khem)
* YP 6.0 M1 is in QA
*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.
* YP 4.0.33 is queued for QA after 6.0 M1
*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.
* YP 6.0 M2 is due next week!
*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!
* Good progress has been made with the autobuilder issues and an M1 build is in QA but we still don’t have the stability in builds we need for reliable project operations.
*We cleaned up a lot of python dependencies and added some extra tests, thanks Ross.
* There are currently 6 high open bugs, which will block M2:
*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.
** Issues reusing binaries from fedora 43 (and maybe ubuntu 25.10) on older systems (patchelf triggered?) (#16074, #16087)
*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.
** x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
** AB-INT: build-sysroots: useradd command did not succeed (#16135)
** Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking?) (#16129)
** Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
* The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic. Any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them and we often don’t have successful builds. Since we struggle to get help in addressing these, we need to change and start potentially blocking releases (including stable/LTS) until these get addressed in some way. We are holding some dedicated meetings to triage these and find ways of removing the failures from our builds which may include reducing testing.
* Patches are merging again but there is a backlog and we’ve had to prioritize simpler changes. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.

*YP 4.0.20 was released
*We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C would be greatly appreciated. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
*YP 5.1 M2 is due to be released
*There are a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder, any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be welcome! https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
*A new wiki page summarizing options for meta-gplv2 replacement was created: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Meta-gpl2_layer_replacement (thanks Khem)
*Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe maintainer. Please look at https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
*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.
