'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.5 M2 is due to build this week
*YP 4.0.35 is due to release
*Work has progressed on inclusive language and an email should be out this week about the proposals for that after discussions amongst the volunteers who stepped up to work on it. Some obsolete variables/code have already been removed as a prelude to this.
*YP 5.3.4 is in QA
*Patches to switch to setuptools and away from distutils following upstream python’s lead have merered (thanks Tim!). Whilst the issues are resolved for core, work remains on other layers such as meta-oe.
*YP 6.0 rc1 is in QA
*The autobuilder does look improved from an intermittent failure perspective but we’re seeing hangs for unknown reasons on debian9 oe-selftest (seems python pthread mutex related) and on ltp on the arm worker. Sadly the open issues are at an all time high.
*There will be no patch review on Monday 4th May due to public holidays.
*Patches to disable the network outside of do_fetch have merged.
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
*Support for improved SPDX info for the kernel has merged (thanks Saul).
*There were some last minute changes to DISTRO_FEATURES behaviour to resolve some usability issues that users identified.
*CVE issues had a bad week with further significant increases for master and stable branches. Some patches have merged to improve master (thanks Ross!).
*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.
*Intermittent issues continue to be at record high levels and help is very much welcome in trying to resolve them. 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
*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.
*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.

*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 3.5. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.5_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.
