'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.3.2 has been released
*YP 6.0.2 has been released
*YP 6.0 M2 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.19 is due to release
*YP 4.0.34 is in QA.
*YP 6.1 M2 will build this week after pseudo, systemd and resulttool changes merge
*YP 6.0 M3 is the feature freeze for 6.0 which is our next LTS.
*Some invasive LICENSE changes have merged into master:
*YP 6.0 M3 is due to build next week however there are many key changes needed still missing.
**We now require the LICENSE field to match SPDX identifiers.
*We have issues we need to resolve before M3:
**The build will issue warnings when this isn’t the case.
**x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**Non SPDX licenses will need to be of the form LicenseRef-XXX
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (memory corruption in pseudo?) (#16078)
**CLOSED is no longer a valid value.  
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds
**‘WITH’ license exceptions are now supported
**Allowing non-destructive git fetcher updates for bitbake-setup.
Big thanks for Joshua for getting us to the point where we can finally clean this up!
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
*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
**Switching to pkg-config.
*Patches generated by the automatic upgrade helper (AUH) now include changelogs where these can be extracted from upstream.
**Deprecation of ltp (upstream dropped runltp and mandate kirk)
*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.
**How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
*Systemd issues with older host kernels (e.g. RHEL 8) is still being worked on https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119870359
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
*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.
**SBOM/cve-check changes.
**We’re making little progress on intermittent build failures despite the problems continuing to impact test builds:
**Reconcile poky and OE-Core defaults templates.
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**Resolve Fedora 43 selftest failures
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
*glibc was upgraded 2.43 and we released a new uninative to match
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
*runqemu now has better handling for different display outputs including VNC on unix domain sockets
**groff build race issues
*We are adding testing of ptests on musl to our test matrix
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*Kernel rust support has merged
*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.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
*On scarthgap, we have updated to openssl 3.5 since that is still maintained
*Thanks to everyone who helped out with the booth at Embedded World, it was a great success!
