'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*Stephen is unavailable at the moment, please refer any queries to Richard
*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
*YP 2.6.2 was rebuilt as rc4 to include the boost upgrade revert and is due to be released today. The YP 2.6.2 rc3/4 report is summarized at https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2019-April/044827.html and the results are at https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/releases/yocto-2.6.2.rc4/testresults/.
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
*YP 2.5.3 is currently going through the QA process.
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
*We’re sad to announce that we will be removing eclipse plugin builds from the autobuilder and will not be including the plugin in any future project releases. This is due to a lack of anyone able to help work on the plugin development, bug fixing or release.
*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.
*The key fixes mentioned in last week’s status have been merged into 2.7.
*Issues with pending work needed:
*A key bug in pseudo was identified which may be the root cause of the long standing glibc-locale uid “host contamination” issue. Many thanks to Peter and Otavio for the help in debugging that. A separate fix should also ensure pseudo works with newer distro coreutils and glibc versions.
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*YP 2.7 rc2 (warrior) was built successfully and is currently going through the QA process after 2.5.3 is done.
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta related to openat2()
*The ptest results in 2.7 are much more stable than ever before with results being consistent from build to build. At the start of 2.8 we can make some further improvements so we take advantage of this and build upon it to reduce regressions in the system.
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
*In an effort to keep the patch queue under control, patches are merging to master.
**Meta-oe cve layer filtering under new tooling (metrics script tweak?)
*The list of issues from last week of worrying things we lack resources to improve upon remains:
**Reprodicubility issues with strace/apr-util after gnulib macro changes (patches in testing)
**Intermittent autobuilder failures (fork running out of resources - which resources?, oe-selftest intermittent issues, gpg signing resource problems, occasional PR server failure and more)
*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.
**Build-appliance testing issues (show up on each QA report across multiple releases)
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.
**40% valgrind ptest failures
*The recent wic changes will need wic support files to be placed in files/wic within layers going forwards.
**Known bitbake memory resident bugs
*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.
**Other ptest failures
*The final kirkstone build has taken place and we’re no longer planning to merge patches on this branch.
*The 2.8 planning discussions are starting and there is a google doc summarising the discussions so far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CNEKA4d0eT6-e0hnS2pwi7xdZ5_t6smpZO2HbaJGXbU/
*If you have any final patches for whinlatter, please get these sent to the list ASAP.
*If people are planning to work on specific things in 2.8 please let us know so we can incorporate this into our plans. If you’re interested in working on anything in the document, please also let us know or talk with us in one of the planning meetings.


'''Planned Releases for YP 2.7:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M4 Cutoff was Apr. 1, 2019
*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 M4 Release Target is Apr. 26, 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/
*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.
