Key Status/Updates:
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
YP 2.5 M1 rc3 is out of QA and should be released imminently. There were some minor issues but we’ll address these as part of M2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW03_-_2018-1-18-_Full_Test_Cycle_-_2.5_M1_rc3 and see: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v2.5_Status#Milestone_1_-_Target_Dec._15.2C_2017
*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=---
With a round of security released fixes likely to land shortly, we’ll likely wait for these before we roll M2.
*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/
The Automatic Upgrade Helper (AUH) ran, now based on devtool functionality and testing against a wider set of architectures and build options. This looks likely to easy recipe maintenance and increase productivity for people and I’d like to thank Alex for his work on this. There is much it could do better but it is continuing to evolve and become easier to use which is great to see.
*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.
The AUH emails have triggered a good batch of recipe upgrades. QEMU was also upgraded (which can often cause problems).
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing
I sent out a separate summary of changes which are happening to the Autobuilder, people on the SWAT team need to be especially aware of this http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-architecture/2018-January/000694.html
The long queued python recipe changes including its manifest have landed. We tested this as far as we could in core and I know there is some fall out in other layers, help and patience to work through the issues is appreciated. Patches pending against the python recipes will need to be rebased and resent.
There have been some significant changes to cmake, ninja and meson and meson is now the default for some recipes. There were some significant gettext cleanups.


Planned upcoming dot releases:
'''New to the project?'''<br/>
YP 2.4.2 (Rocko) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches are ready.
*We have a list of issues we think are good places to start contributing: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=NEWCOMER
YP 2.3.4 (Pyro) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches are ready.
YP 2.2.3 (Morty) rc1 is in QA, see https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.2_QA_Status.  This will not contain the spectre/meltdown patches as they’re not ready yet.

Key Status/Updates:
*[[2018 Yocto Project Weekly Status Archive]]
• 2.3.3 and 2.4.1 were released. These releases do not contain spectre/meltdown patches/fixes as those are still being worked on and haven’t merged yet.
• We are mostly up to date with patch queues although there are some bigger series which are still being tested/reviewed and are still pending
• Due to testing problems with 2.5 M1 rc3, it is still undergoing QA testing and is 90% complete. We are continuing to have some QA transition/infrastructure issues. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.5_QA_Status.
• A separate update on the spectre/meltdown status and the project has been sent out to the oe-core mailing list.
 
Planned upcoming dot releases:
YP 2.4.2 (Rocko) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches has been proven ready.
YP 2.3.4 (Pyro) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches has been proven ready.
YP 2.2.3 (Morty) rc1 is in QA, see https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.2_QA_Status.  We are considering holding this release candidate and building another when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches has been proven ready.
