'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.3 M2 was released
*YP 5.0.18 has been released
*We have a new simple system to help with the SWAT process, “SwatBot”, https://swatbot.yoctoproject.org/ which has quickly evolved over the last week and is now taking over from the wiki BuildLog for the SWAT process.
*YP 6.0.1 is in QA.
*We’re due to merge autoconf 2.71 which is now working for the core layers and automated tests but will need work to make meta-openembedded work with it.
*YP 6.1 M1 is due to build this week
*We managed a small performance improvement to builds over the last week (5-7% overall) which appears to be from some of the GL native tools changes rather surprisingly
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
*There were also significant reductions in the numbers of files being installed into the recipe sysroots (around 14,000 fewer files for some recipes for each workdir) which should aid overall build performance (and e.g. ease of build directory deletion)
*Patches to remove shell=True subprocess usage have merged in bitbake but OE-Core still needs significant work, help would be welcome with this.
*There was a fix for pseudo to improve handling of renamed files which may account for some of the pseudo issues we’ve seen recently, it certainly caused problems with the new binutils release (not yet merged).
*We have merged support for `devtool upgrade --stable` and the upstream-stable-release-point bbclass. We hope to use this to track upstream projects with known good stable release series, but we need input and discussion on what the criteria should be. Please participate in the discussion on the OE-Architecture list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119437109
Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur. 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 have changed the xz and zstd decompression dependencies to make the build slightly more efficient and use the host tools for decompression
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic and unchanged from last week:
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**groff build race issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto


'''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.
