'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.3 M1 is in QA
*YP 6.0.3 is in QA.
*Patches continue to merge into master for upgrades and fixes.
*YP 6.1 M3 is due in one week and this will be the feature freeze point for YP 6.1.
*The UNPACKDIR layout changes merged. This has been disruptive for layers and it will take a while for changes to filter through various layers. It does set up better in the future with tools like devtool to avoid having lots of legacy layouts to support, and cleans up git recipes to be easier to write going forward.
*For 6.1 M3 our plans are to merge rpm 6, merge openssl 4 and update to the 7.2 kernel. If there are any other major changes planned, please let us know ASAP!
*To support this, the layer series was updated to whinlatter in core.
*AI scrapers and bots continue to impact the infrastructure, taking huge amounts of time for our sysadmins and with a significant cost impact to the project.
*The clang build time and size increases continue to cause significant concern.
*We continue to try and keep up to date with upstream releases through the AUH, big thanks to those sending version updates and fixing version update issues. It is worth noting that the ‘success’ updates do still need work on the commit message changelogs and much of this work is being pushed to Richard.
*There are patches in progress for improving gomod support in devtool and the mirroring issue for gomod was resolved.The main mirroring issues left are around “downloadfilename” support in urls which likely needs to be rewritten.
*There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
*Support for BUILDHISTORY_RESET was removed as it was error prone and better handled on the CI side of integration.
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
*OE-Core is adopting the use of glvnd for libGL abstraction
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
*The initial RISC-V tune changes merged
We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix.
*Support for distro/machine selection with builtin fragments was added.
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
*A section was added to the manual on primary and secondary architecture/feature support for Yocto Project: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/ref-manual/yocto-project-supported-features.html
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
*An email about this was sent to the openembedded-architecture list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2162
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
*For M2, the following changes have been mentioned as possibilities:
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
**bitbake-setup
**wic split from OE-Core
**RISC-V tune changes (part 2)
**go/gomod fetcher changes
**switch classextend to use [filter] support from bitbake


'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
*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 is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarball and SDK). We’d love assistance in moving this forward and getting some kind of upstream feature merged to make this easier: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260
*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/
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
*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.
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.3_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing
*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.
 
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent 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.
'''New to the project?'''<br/>
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a list of issues we think are good places to start contributing: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=NEWCOMER
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*Ongoing project development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing We need to continue to develop this as it will allow us to potentially find ways to fund specific work items.
