'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.0.3 is in QA and due out on 21st May
*YP 6.0.2 has been released
*Gcc 10 merged to master, with the ‘no-common’ default change disabled for now whilst we address the other gcc 10 issues first, then we’ll loop back to that.
*YP 5.0.19 is due to release
*We are struggling with autobuilder infrastructure problems, in particular with NFS locking but also with cancelled builds not terminating correctly. These are having a significant negative impact on master and all stable builds and are a significant concern as there is no clear path forward to any resolution.
*YP 6.1 M2 will build this week after pseudo, systemd and resulttool changes merge
*Patches continue to merge into master but at a slower rate than normal. The patch submission rate has dropped slightly which has helped ensure there isn’t a huge backlog.
*Some invasive LICENSE changes have merged into master:
*We’re moving the AUH job functionality to the autobuilder and integrating it there which should mean it's easier to reproduce its functionality and allows more people to see what it's doing and work on/with it. This should also reduce hosting costs.
**We now require the LICENSE field to match SPDX identifiers.
**The build will issue warnings when this isn’t the case.
**Non SPDX licenses will need to be of the form LicenseRef-XXX
**CLOSED is no longer a valid value.
**‘WITH’ license exceptions are now supported
Big thanks for Joshua for getting us to the point where we can finally clean this up!
*We have identified a few linux-yocto CVEs which need triaging due to missing version information in the CVE databases (affecting master, wrynose and scarthgap), see the email sent to the list: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/topic/120036383
*Patches generated by the automatic upgrade helper (AUH) now include changelogs where these can be extracted from upstream.
*A couple of further pseudo related issues were identified, one with linkat flags and one with openat2 (tar related/triggered). We hope to have patches merged soon.
*Systemd issues with older host kernels (e.g. RHEL 8) is still being worked on https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119870359
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge. The review calls are running out of time each meeting which limits progress.
**We’re making little progress on intermittent build failures despite the problems continuing to impact test builds:
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**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
*For the qemuarmv5 amba crash (#16217), we did confirm it doesn’t seem to be load or memory usage related and does seem to happen on the autobuilder but not on other systems, for reasons still currently unknown.


'''YP 3.2 Milestone Dates:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.2 M1 build date 2020/6/16
*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=---
*YP 3.2 M1 Release date 2020/6/26
*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/
*YP 3.2 M2 build date 2020/7/27
*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.
