'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.3.1 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.18 has been released
*YP 6.0 M1 is in QA
*YP 6.0.1 is in QA.
*YP 4.0.33 is queued for QA after 6.0 M1
*YP 6.1 M1 is due to build this week
*YP 6.0 M2 is now targeting a build date of 16th Feb. This will give us three weeks each for M3 (target date 9th March) and M4 (target build date 30th March).
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
*Good progress has been made with the autobuilder issues but we still don’t have the stability in builds we need for reliable project operations.
*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 are currently 5 high open bugs, which will block M2. Three have line of sight to being resolved (Thanks Alex and Michael!):
*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
**Issues reusing binaries from fedora 42/43 on older systems (#16087)
*We have changed the xz and zstd decompression dependencies to make the build slightly more efficient and use the host tools for decompression
**Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking?) (#16129)
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic and unchanged from last week:
**Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
*Two are currently needing further work:
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**rust do_test_compile/do_install segfault (#16058)
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
**groff build race issues
*“build-sysroots: useradd command did not succeed” (#16135) was fixed, thanks Adrian!
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic. Any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them and we often 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 are holding some dedicated meetings to triage these and find ways of removing the failures from our builds which may include reducing testing.
*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
*Patches are merging again but there is a backlog and we’ve had to prioritize simpler changes. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
