'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*The next release, kirkstone will be 4.0 (previously known as 3.5) and will be bitbake 2.0 based.
*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
*The YP 4.0 (3.5) is due to release pending final checks on documentation and release notes.
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
*YP 3.3.6 has passed QA and pending TSC approval for release
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
*YP 3.1.16 has been built and entering QA
*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 a major issue from a recent CVE fix to git which is making it’s way into various distros and causes problems when git is used from a fakeroot environment. We use git from the host so we are exposed to the issue. There are several patches attempting to fix this, the initial fixes in master were not quite enough unfortunately.
*Issues with pending work needed:
*Performance workers on the autobuilder have been replaced with new alma8 and debian 11 systems. The previous centos7 and ubuntu1604 systems completed over 5800 builds each!
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*Master has started taking new patches but the git issue above is impeding testing.
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta related to openat2()
*YP 4.1 planning document is available for review at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-g7DatSdmIETwD3xFSCxV7MbWVVkpQvQ788mIr1MPTI/edit?usp=sharing
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
*If people see intermittent issues in their own builds, particularly if they’re the same as intermittent issues seen on the autobuilder, please do comment in the bugs mentioning when they happen as the frequency information does help us prioritize fixing the most common issues.
**Meta-oe cve layer filtering under new tooling (metrics script tweak?)
*Intermittent issues continue to be at high levels and help is very much welcome in trying to resolve them. 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 We did work out the cause of the infamous tinfoil wait_event intermittent issue.
**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/>
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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 bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.5. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.5_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*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/
*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
*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.
