'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We’re now in feature freeze for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
*YP 5.0.17 was released
*We have not built M3 yet as some work still remains for us to be feature complete and ready for QA. This puts us behind schedule but the plan is to complete the key features we’ve planned rather than adhere strictly to dates. We hope to make up time during M4 by having M3 at high quality and take advantage of our automation.
*YP 6.0 M3 was released
*RP is away for the rest of the week which means M3 progress will be limited this week, Ross will queue patches.
*YP 4.0.35 is in QA
*Key 3.0 changes have now merged:
*YP 6.0 M4 is due to build
**5.2 linux-libc-kernel-headers
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
**5.2 kernel recipes by default for all reference BSPs
*Various fixes have merged or are planned to merge before the M4 release build:
**Removal of LSB and poky-lsb and replacement with alt config testing
**Various CVE issue resolutions from CVE triage
**systemd by default for poky-altcfg
**Reproducibility issues with strace/apr-util
**Patches have significantly reduced the dependency on python2
**Make race in groff
**Reproducible builds are now being tested for core-image-minimal
**Shadow-native tallylog issue fix
**Automated toolchain testsuite tests (binutils, gcc, glibc)
**Upgrade of barebox to align with an LTS release
*Key blocking issues for M3 that have been fixed:
**Implementation of a wrapper for openat2, fixing Fedora 44 beta build failures
**Systemtap issues with 5.2 were debugged and patches sent/merged upstream
**Sbom-cve-check upgrade (along with dependencies)
**5.2 dmesg on qemuarm64 fixed
*Issues still pending:
**qemumips hang when using highmem root caused and worked around (for now)
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**mdadm ptest timeout worked around
**Intermittent qemu boot failures of qemuarmv5 (and possibly qemuarm) since the last kernel upgrade
**quilt and libevent ptest regressions from M2 resolved
**Intermittent wic failures on the autobuilder
*Remaining issues blocking M3:
*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
**systemd boot failure on qemumips
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.
**strace ptest timeout
*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.
**Hash equivalence performance problems (RP has a simple idea to ~double speed)
*The final whinlatter build is happening this week.
**Hash equivalence bugs
**Toolchain testsuite relocation bugs (Nathan working on it)
*Hash Equivalency status:
**Ideas about removing some dependency information from the hashes to allow faster bulk queries aren’t viable so the current codebase approach is correct
**we need to rework the client/server communication to scale to the autobuilder
**there are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to expose
**we have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour should be
**test cases are proving to be problematic to write in a maintainable way
*Documentation - Due to illness Scott is unavailable for the next month or two so doc patches will be handled by Richard or Ross in the short term. We’ll likely limit them to correctness issues and defer any substantial new text. If anyone has availability and skills to work on the manuals please talk to us. We’re aware there is a patch backlog.
*If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.


'''Planned Releases for YP 3.0 {2.8}:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*M3 Release 6th Sept
*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=---
*M4 Cutoff 30th Sept - this will be YP 3.0.
*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/
*YP 3.0 {2.8 (M4)} Final Release 25th Oct
*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.
