'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 2.6.3 has been released.
*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
*This release which was 2.8 will now become 3.0.
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
*The sstate hash equivalency continues to have challenges:
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
**performance of the hash server is not able to scale to the autibuilder’s load
*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.
**there are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to expose
*Issues with pending work needed:
**we have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour should be
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**test cases are proving to be problematic to write in a maintainable way
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta related to openat2()
*On a more positive note, some of the key performance issues were identified and fixed so performance doesn’t regress for usage without hash equivalence. Several corruption issues and other key fixes to runqueue also merged.
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
*Jason Wessel finally tracked down our mystery glibc-locale bug, which was not a pseudo issue. Thanks and kudos to Jason!
**Meta-oe cve layer filtering under new tooling (metrics script tweak?)
*General patch merging is currently delayed along with patch feedback due to the hash equivalence issues and lack of bandwidth to progress everything at once.
**Reprodicubility issues with strace/apr-util after gnulib macro changes (patches in testing)
*We still need to make a decision on systemd or sysvinit defaults as the init system.
*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.
*We are a week away from the 3.0 feature freeze.
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 3.0 {2.8}:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*M3 Cutoff (Feature Freeze) 25th Aug
*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=---
*M3 Release 6th Sept
*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/
*M4 Cutoff 30th Sept - this will be YP 3.0.
*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 3.0 {2.8 (M4)} Final Release 25th Oct
