'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0.15 is under review.
*YP 5.0.17 was released
*YP 5.3.1 is in QA
*YP 6.0 M3 was released
*YP 6.0 M1 will build when the 5 open high bugs are resolved.
*YP 4.0.35 is in QA
*There are also 4 high bugs open for 6.0 M2.
*YP 6.0 M4 is due to build
*We are seeing multiple serious issues blocking 6.0 M1 from building:
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
**A glibc test causing builds to hang (a buffer overflow SIGABRT in unfs3 triggered by host compiler + fortify source) (#16113)
*Various fixes have merged or are planned to merge before the M4 release build:
**Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking, should be fixed) (#16129)
**Various CVE issue resolutions from CVE triage
**Issues with a CVE patch applied to tar in rocky9/alma9/centos-stream using the openat2 syscall which pseudo doesn’t wrap (#16117)
**Reproducibility issues with strace/apr-util
**Issues reusing binaries from fedora 43 (and maybe ubuntu 25.10) on older systems (patchelf triggered?) (#16074, #16087)
**Make race in groff
**still need to disable the npm fetcher (#16105)
**Shadow-native tallylog issue fix
*We have not had this number of high bugs blocking releases in several years
**Upgrade of barebox to align with an LTS release
*The number of intermittent failures affecting stable release builds is becoming problematic. Any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them and we 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 plan to form a dedicated team to investigate these and find ways of removing the failures from our builds which may include reducing testing.
**Implementation of a wrapper for openat2, fixing Fedora 44 beta build failures
*To be clear, due to the problems above, most patch testing is now stalled as the autobuilder is currently inoperable and we can’t test anything.
**Sbom-cve-check upgrade (along with dependencies)
*The project is exploring the idea of applying for funding for security related work. If anyone (individual or consultancies) has ideas, please talk to Paul/Richard/TSC. This is an opportunity to work on those issues you never have time/funding for!
*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.
