'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP M2 rc1 had major problems in perl as fallout from the perl upgrade and switch to perl-cross. We’ve therefore built an rc2 based on a more recent master.
*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
*The python upgrade to 3.7 merged, thanks to AlexK for his hard work on this. It means all of the major components in OE-Core are finally up to date (many minor versions are still adrift).
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
*Major util-linux changes have just merged which should hopefully allow easier long term maintenance of this recipe (all binaries now have their own package, this recipe kept being split up)
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
*Build performance tests on the autobuilder have been improved and builds now have automated result comparisons, e.g.: https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20190212-7/testresults/buildperf-ubuntu1604/perf-ubuntu1604_master_20190212045844_be52da1.html (from https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/92/builds/101) (Thanks to Markus for a lot of the underlying code/work)
*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.
*Build performance can now compare master to master-next test builds
*Issues with pending work needed:
*We continue to need help with ptest, both on the tests themselves and on the results reporting. The intent is to have something similar to the build performance pieces above.
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*The recipe reporting system integration with the layer index is available at: https://layers.openembedded.org/rrs/recipes/OE-Core/2.7/M3/ and the historical data has now been imported.
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta related to openat2()
*The project is considering moving its mailing list hosting to groups.io, if anyone has any experience of that, positive or negative please let Michael, Nico and Richard know. Note that google has made further significant changes to its mail processing at the detriment to mailing lists: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/freedesktop/2019-February/000396.html
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
*If anyone has feedback about the maintainers/recipe upgrade processes or how to attract new recipe maintainers, please talk to Richard Purdie / Ross Burton
**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 M2 is built and 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 M2 Release Target is Feb. 1, 2019
*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 M3 Cutoff is Feb. 25, 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 Release Target is Mar. 8, 2019
