'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 will be released imminently
*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
*We’re pleased to be able to announce that the stable maintainer for the 3.1 LTS release will be Steve Sakoman
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
*YP 3.1 has been announced as an LTS release: https://www.yoctoproject.org/yocto-project-long-term-support-announced/
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
*The 3.2 planning document where we’ve been discussing potential 3.2 developments is available at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/100bTV-etO0joh6rAkcr7smlZ9iuENG_8BtaXs_vb54c/edit?usp=sharing
*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.
*Master branch development will open up later this week, there are already some patches queued and tested in master-next
*Issues with pending work needed:
*There is discussion on the openembedded-architecture list about a particularly troublesome multilib issue which doesn’t appear to have any good resolution at present.
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*We are aware of some issues with bug trend metrics this week due to server transitions and are working to resolve those.
**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.
 
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*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=---
*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.
