'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0.15 is under review.
*YP 6.0.2 has been released
*YP 5.3.1 is in QA
*YP 5.0.19 is due to release
*YP 6.0 M1 will build when we have resolved enough issues to mean the build is likely to succeed and the release of sufficient quality
*YP 6.1 M2 will build this week after pseudo, systemd and resulttool changes merge
*Good progress has been made with the autobuilder issues and builds now complete but contain failures.
*Some invasive LICENSE changes have merged into master:
*There are currently 6 high open bugs, some of which block M1, some could be deferred to M2:
**We now require the LICENSE field to match SPDX identifiers.
**Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking?) (#16129)
**The build will issue warnings when this isn’t the case.
**Issues reusing binaries from fedora 43 (and maybe ubuntu 25.10) on older systems (patchelf triggered?) (#16074, #16087)
**Non SPDX licenses will need to be of the form LicenseRef-XXX
**still need to disable the npm fetcher (#16105)
**CLOSED is no longer a valid value.  
**x86 kvm broken on Fedora 53 (#16074)
**‘WITH’ license exceptions are now supported
**AB-INT: build-sysroots: useradd command did not succeed (#16135)
Big thanks for Joshua for getting us to the point where we can finally clean this up!
*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 are holding some dedicated meetings to triage these and find ways of removing the failures from our builds which may include reducing testing.
*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 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.
*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.
