'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*The next status report will be published on 2019/1/2 as we expect things to slow down over the holiday season in many locations.
*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
*YP 2.5.2 rc1 is out of QA and should release today or tomorrow.
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
*YP 2.7 M1 is in QA.
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
*The distrodata bbclass in OE-Core is being removed since the tinfoil API provides a much better way to handle this kind of issue/data.
*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 discovered potential hash collision issues with some of bitbake’s caching of objects so we are likely going to change to use sha256 everywhere including for sstate objects.
*Issues with pending work needed:
*There are occasional issues continuing in oe-selftest which we’re struggling to get to the bottom of unfortunately.
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*There are some patches like the perl upgrade which are blocked on merging due to limited help in fixing fallout from them in layers like meta-openembedded. Khem in particular does a great job but we can’t rely on him alone.
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta related to openat2()
**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.


'''Planned Releases for YP 2.6:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M1 Cutoff is in QA.
*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 2.7 M1 Release Target is Dec. 21, 2018
*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/
*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
