'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.0.4 was released
*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
*M3 is due to close at the end of the week and this is the feature freeze point for 3.2
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
*After much debugging, we’ve concluded the bitbake cooker/server launch process is terminally flawed, you can’t fork a python process into two independent python processes and have the internal python state machinery work correctly. *As such, we’re going to have to make some major changes to the way the bitbake cooker/server startup happens.
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
*On a positive note, those server changes have forced many of the memory resident bitbake bugs to the surface and the new code appears to fix them, bringing memres bitbake much closer to being usable, maybe even becoming a default in this release if testing goes well.
*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 is concern about invasive changes like this with regard to LTS/dunfell where these bitbake bugs are also present. Ultimately we will make a decision about backporting based upon patch stability and user feedback from the LTS users.
*Issues with pending work needed:
*We may delay M3 slightly to enable the bitbake server changes to merge since these are important for release and work making/merging.
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*The number of autobuilder intermittent bugs has continued to rise unfortunately. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT Help with any of these would be much appreciated, unfortunately it is proving hard to find anyone interested in helping figure these out and they significantly hamper our testing.
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta related to openat2()
*One way to help the project is to help us with bugs that are currently unassigned but ideally needed during YP 3.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
*There is a proposal on the bitbake list to remove globbing support from file:// urls. Usage of these urls currently breaks source file checksumming which users don’t realise, it can’t be fixed in a sane way so and the most common use cases has easy alternatives such as referencing a directory as a file:// url without globs so removing globbing support appears to be the best way forward.
**Meta-oe cve layer filtering under new tooling (metrics script tweak?)
*We have switched to the 5.8 kernel by default, it's taken a while to get through all the different issues but we appear to be there now, thanks to Bruce for working through many of them!
**Reprodicubility issues with strace/apr-util after gnulib macro changes (patches in testing)
*Some long standing musl SDK issues should be resolved now.
*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.
