'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1.10 was released
*YP 5.0.18 has been released
*Next week is feature freeze for YP 3.4
*YP 6.0.1 is in QA.
*Known pending work for YP 3.4 includes rust support in core and the prserv changes.
*YP 6.1 M1 is due to build this week
*OE-Core has moved to the new override syntax and is now only compatible with the honister release series. Other layers will need to migrate to the new syntax to work with it. There is documentation about handling migration to the new syntax in the migration section of the manual:
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
http://docs.yoctoproject.org/migration-guides/migration-3.4.html#override-syntax-changes
*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 continue to be small bug fixes from the override syntax change but most of the core layers tested on the autobuilder now seem to be working ok.
*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
*We merged the upgrade to glibc to 2.34. Unfortunately this version makes some changes which have broken uninative and pseudo. Fixes for those issues are being investigated.
*We have changed the xz and zstd decompression dependencies to make the build slightly more efficient and use the host tools for decompression
*Kernel changes to drop 5.4 and switch to 5.10 and 5.13 are pending, mainly on other layers being ready for the change to the default versions.
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic and unchanged from last week:
*There also appear to be issues in the buildtools tarball on aarch64, probably from the gcc 11 upgrade.
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
*There is a plan to migrate the tune files into architecture specific directories. This patch will likely merge in the next few days and will need BSP layers to be updated as the tune files will no longer be found.
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
*The bitbake fetcher no longer ignores SSL certificates by default (this wasn’t a huge problem as we separately checksum input files).
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
*LTO linker flags handling changes were merged now the reproducibility issues it introduced were fixed meaning LTO builds should be more reproducible.
**groff build race issues
*Overlayfs class changes were merged.
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*Intermittent issues are ongoing and help is very much welcome on these issues. 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 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

*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.
