'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 2.4.4 (Rocko) is out of QA and being reviewed. It should release in the next few days. See the QA Report: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW46_-_2018-11-14_-_Full_Test_Cycle_2.4.4_RC1 and the Release Criteria: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v2.4_Status#Yocto_Project_2.4.4_release
*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
*The autobuilder was significantly reworked during the quiet period of the US holidays. There was a separate email sent out about the details of this:
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2018-November/276436.html
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
*As part of those changes, all builds with the appropriate code (currently master+thud) now publish xml results files containing all the results of the automated testing. We now need tooling to better analyse and process these results into human readable summaries (especially for ptest) and to highlight regressions.
*We have converted over to sbom-cve-check and dropped cve-check. This has caused a significant increase in CVEs reported, these are being triaged.
*We’d like to recognise Joshua Watt for some great work in automating SDK tests on meta-mingw. This is now active on the autobuilder for master testing 64 bit mingw builds.
*Issues with pending work needed:
*These changes also mean we now can test oe-selftest on all the distros we officially test upon. Unfortunately that has the side effect of highlighting how unstable oe-selftest has become. We’re in need to help to try and solve some of these issues. A separate email was sent out on this topic:
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2018-November/276497.html
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta related to openat2()
*Until the stability issues are resolved it will likely impact patch merging and divert attention away from other patches such as the sstate hash equivalence and perl/python version upgrades.
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
**Meta-oe cve layer filtering under new tooling (metrics script tweak?)
**Reprodicubility issues with strace/apr-util after gnulib macro changes (patches in testing)
*There was disruption to git services last week due to scraping attacks against the servers. This resulted in connection issues whilst those were mitigated, particularly the git protocol access.
git:// protocol access to git.yoctoproject.org and git.openembeded.org is deprecated and going forward https:// URLs should be used to access git repositories. We are aiming to discontinue git protocol use.
*The recent wic changes will need wic support files to be placed in files/wic within layers going forwards.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic, including the emergence of new issues (newer kernel version?). We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
*The final kirkstone build has taken place and we’re no longer planning to merge patches on this branch.
*If you have any final patches for whinlatter, please get these sent to the list ASAP.

'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M1 Cutoff is Dec. 10, 2018
*We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to work on them.

*YP 2.7 M2 Cutoff is Jan. 21, 2019
*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.
*YP 2.7 M2 Release Target is Feb. 1, 2019
