'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0.15 is under review.
*YP 5.3.4 is due to release (has been approved)
*YP 5.3.1 is in QA
*YP 6.0 is due to release (has been approved)
*YP 6.0 M1 will build when the 5 open high bugs are resolved.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge
*There are also 4 high bugs open for 6.0 M2.
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic
*We are seeing multiple serious issues blocking 6.0 M1 from building:
*We have pruned the release artefacts, please let us know if any you would like to use are missing. We’re also interested to know which ones people actually use outside of uninative/buildtools and the BSP test images.
**A glibc test causing builds to hang (a buffer overflow SIGABRT in unfs3 triggered by host compiler + fortify source) (#16113)
*Master is open for new development
**Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking, should be fixed) (#16129)
*We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. Please send proposals to the mailing list or raise them during the weekly status call, Paul will be collecting these into a project roadmap.
**Issues with a CVE patch applied to tar in rocky9/alma9/centos-stream using the openat2 syscall which pseudo doesn’t wrap (#16117)
**Issues reusing binaries from fedora 43 (and maybe ubuntu 25.10) on older systems (patchelf triggered?) (#16074, #16087)
**still need to disable the npm fetcher (#16105)
*We have not had this number of high bugs blocking releases in several years
*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.
*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.
*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!
