'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.3.1 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.17 is due to be released
*YP 6.0 M1 is in QA
*YP 6.0 M3 is in QA
*YP 4.0.33 is queued for QA after 6.0 M1
*YP 4.0.35 is queued for QA
*YP 6.0 M2 is now targeting a build date of 16th Feb. This will give us three weeks each for M3 (target date 9th March) and M4 (target build date 30th March).
*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.
*Good progress has been made with the autobuilder issues but we still don’t have the stability in builds we need for reliable project operations.
*Issues with pending work needed:
*There are currently 5 high open bugs, which will block M2. Three have line of sight to being resolved (Thanks Alex and Michael!):
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**Issues reusing binaries from fedora 42/43 on older systems (#16087)
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta related to openat2()
**Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking?) (#16129)
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
**Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
**Meta-oe cve layer filtering under new tooling (metrics script tweak?)
*Two are currently needing further work:
**Reprodicubility issues with strace/apr-util after gnulib macro changes (patches in testing)
**rust do_test_compile/do_install segfault (#16058)
*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.
**x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
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.
*“build-sysroots: useradd command did not succeed” (#16135) was fixed, thanks Adrian!
*The recent wic changes will need wic support files to be placed in files/wic within layers going forwards.
*The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic. Any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them and we often don’t have successful builds. Since we struggle to get help in addressing these, we need to change and start potentially blocking releases (including stable/LTS) until these get addressed in some way. We are holding some dedicated meetings to triage these and find ways of removing the failures from our builds which may include reducing testing.
*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.
*Patches are merging again but there is a backlog and we’ve had to prioritize simpler changes. 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.
