'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*2.7.1 was released
*YP 5.0.17 was released
*2.6.3 has patches pending review and then will be built
*YP 6.0 M3 was released
*We have a new “newcomer” bug category which are bugs suited to someone new to the project. These can be seen here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs
*YP 4.0.35 is in QA
*There are ongoing discussions on a few key topics which are summarized here for convenience. Please contribute if you have an interest in these areas:
*YP 6.0 M4 is due to build
**Running the testsuites for glibc/binutils/gcc
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
**Moving lsb to its own layer
*Various fixes have merged or are planned to merge before the M4 release build:
**Removing poky-lsb in favour of some configuration fragments
**Various CVE issue resolutions from CVE triage
**Reproducibility
**Reproducibility issues with strace/apr-util
**Minimizing python2 dependencies
**Make race in groff
**Configuration of init systems
**Shadow-native tallylog issue fix
*Changing poky’s init system default to systemd is running into a large number of testing failures on the autobuilder which puts that change at risk.
**Upgrade of barebox to align with an LTS release
*The autobuilder performance problem when stopping builds has been tracked down and fixed. The controller was also upgraded for some performance improvements (thanks Michael).*
**Implementation of a wrapper for openat2, fixing Fedora 44 beta build failures
*There are patches available which enable runqueue optimisations based on output comparisons of tasks. This removes the need to run later tasks if the output is unchanged and is based upon the previous hash equivalence server work. This feature should be a significant win for the users and is now working to a level where we’ll likely make this a key feature of the next release.
**Sbom-cve-check upgrade (along with dependencies)
*Issues still pending:
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
**Intermittent wic failures on the autobuilder
*At this point we will likely run the release build as the remaining issues aren’t critical to end users and we have no clear timeframe for resolution of them
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.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
*The final whinlatter build is happening this week.


'''Planned Releases for YP 2.8:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*M2 Cutoff 14th July
*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=---
*M2 Release 26th July
*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/
*M3 Cutoff (Feature Freeze) 25th Aug
*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.
*M3 Release 6th Sept
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing
