'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.3.1 was released
*YP 4.0.35 is due to release
*YP 3.1.8 is being built, an autobuilder glitch meant we’re building rc2.
*YP 5.3.4 is in QA
*We’ve seen a significant reduction in CVE counts for master and the stable releases this week. For master this brings us down to 5 CVEs compared to 63 a couple of weeks ago. This should mean real/open issues are much clearer and old/obsolete issues no longer contribute noise to the output of the tools.
*YP 6.0 rc1 is in QA
*Help with the problematic recipe upgrades would be much appreciated.
*There will be no patch review on Monday 4th May due to public holidays.
*The multiconfig changes in bitbake continue to cause problems, we still need simpler test cases to reproduce issues rather than huge builds. The existing patches seem to fix some workloads and break others. Richard is trying to fix but trying to fix autobuilder issues and other problems and these are slow builds to debug.
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
*We have identified ltp issues with some tests causing hangs which have been disabled as well as issues with the 5.10.37 kernel which seem to be fixed in 5.10.38.
*There were some last minute changes to DISTRO_FEATURES behaviour to resolve some usability issues that users identified.
*We’re seeing odd looking rcu stalls in qemu automated testing. This seems to occur more often with 5.10 kernel but also with 5.12 and with kvm-clock disabled and we have seen it with 5.4. It is unclear whether these are kernel issues or qemu issues, we’re struggling to debug them and any insight would be welcome.
*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.
*Some debugging of these intermittent hangs has been posted to the swat mailing list.
*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.
*Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur and are now at a record high level. You  can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT We are working to identify the load pattern on the infrastructure that seems to trigger these.
*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.
*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 but are trying to clear the backlog.


'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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=---
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*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/
*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
*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.
