'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M1 is out of QA and being prepared for release.
*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
*YP 2.5.2 was released on Jan. 4, 2019.
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
*YP 2.6.1 should build once the current patch queue from Armin has final review and is merged.
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
*The hash equivalency server code merged, thanks to Joshua Watt for his patience in working through some of the details with that!
*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.
*Many different patches for upgrades, features and fixes continue to be merged and we should be mostly up to date with incoming patches.
*Issues with pending work needed:
*There do continue to be intermittent failures on the autobuilder, albeit at lower frequency than previously.
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*The cross-perl patchset from AlexK is building successfully on the autobuilder so others are requested to give feedback as its likely to merge soon based on the test results.
**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 2.7:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M1 Release should happen shortly.

*YP 2.7 M2 Release Target is Feb. 1, 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 M3 Cutoff is Feb. 25, 2019
