'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*Stephen is unavailable at the moment, please refer any queries to Richard
*YP 4.0.35 is due to release
*YP 2.6.2 was rebuilt as rc4 to include the boost upgrade revert and is due to be released today. The YP 2.6.2 rc3/4 report is summarized at https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2019-April/044827.html and the results are at https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/releases/yocto-2.6.2.rc4/testresults/.
*YP 5.3.4 is in QA
*YP 2.5.3 is currently going through the QA process.
*YP 6.0 rc1 is in QA
*We’re sad to announce that we will be removing eclipse plugin builds from the autobuilder and will not be including the plugin in any future project releases. This is due to a lack of anyone able to help work on the plugin development, bug fixing or release.
*There will be no patch review on Monday 4th May due to public holidays.
*The key fixes mentioned in last week’s status have been merged into 2.7.
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
*A key bug in pseudo was identified which may be the root cause of the long standing glibc-locale uid “host contamination” issue. Many thanks to Peter and Otavio for the help in debugging that. A separate fix should also ensure pseudo works with newer distro coreutils and glibc versions.
*There were some last minute changes to DISTRO_FEATURES behaviour to resolve some usability issues that users identified.
*YP 2.7 rc2 (warrior) was built successfully and is currently going through the QA process after 2.5.3 is done.
*There have been several issues in pseudo identified and these have been fixed in the various pseudo point releases. We will upgrade pseudo in 6.0.1 to pull these in.
*The ptest results in 2.7 are much more stable than ever before with results being consistent from build to build. At the start of 2.8 we can make some further improvements so we take advantage of this and build upon it to reduce regressions in the system.
*There have been issues with 403 errors from crates.io, there is a change in bitbake to use the preferred upstream urls via their CDN.
*In an effort to keep the patch queue under control, patches are merging to master.
*The kvm cpu features issue looks to be a host system CPU microcode issue and using the latest microcode appears to have resolved the issues.
*The list of issues from last week of worrying things we lack resources to improve upon remains:
*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.
**Intermittent autobuilder failures (fork running out of resources - which resources?, oe-selftest intermittent issues, gpg signing resource problems, occasional PR server failure and more)
*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 but are trying to clear the backlog.
**Build-appliance testing issues (show up on each QA report across multiple releases)
**40% valgrind ptest failures
**Known bitbake memory resident bugs
**Other ptest failures
*The 2.8 planning discussions are starting and there is a google doc summarising the discussions so far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CNEKA4d0eT6-e0hnS2pwi7xdZ5_t6smpZO2HbaJGXbU/
*If people are planning to work on specific things in 2.8 please let us know so we can incorporate this into our plans. If you’re interested in working on anything in the document, please also let us know or talk with us in one of the planning meetings.


'''Planned Releases for YP 2.7:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M4 Cutoff was Apr. 1, 2019
*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=---
*YP 2.7 M4 Release Target is Apr. 26, 2019
*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/
*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.
