'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
* YP 5.0.20 is under review.
* YP 6.1 M3 is due to build and we are at feature freeze
* There are issues with changes in bot/AI protection at github.com which are affecting our CI.
* Most M3 changes have merged, we want to mitigate the github issues before building M3.
* There is a new meta-openjdk layer: https://github.com/amarula/meta-openjdk https://lore.kernel.org/yocto-patches/xBB4.1788187111192557019.ULaN@lists.yoctoproject.org/T/#u
* 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.
* 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:
** Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
** aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
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.
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*Progress was made on some of the risc-v speed differences in qemu which should help some of the autobuilder intermittent failures, thanks Trevor!


*YP 4.1 M2 has a build in progress and then will go into QA
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*Last week there seemed to be a large number of autobuilder issues including many non-deterministic dependencies for qemu, as well as a lot of intermittent buildpaths issues. These have now mostly been resolved.
*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=---
*The help received in resolving buildpaths issues was appreciated, particularly with the kernel where we seemed to uncover several unexpectedly.
*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/
*We have enabled buildpaths in WARN_QA by default. This takes our reproducibility to a new level but there is some fallout in layers which will need to be fixed.
*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.
*meta-gplv2 builds have been dropped from master and the layer will no longer be maintained.
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing
*We’ve noticed that debug information is still not being processed by package.bbclass entirely correctly and it is missing a large chunk of the kernel sources for example. RP is trying to debug this.
*There are continued reports of issues with the rust SDK compiler. Sadly we just have patches to make x86_64 work rather than getting to the root of the issues and cross compile it correctly, which is a concern.
*Work is continuing on the /proc/pressure monitoring code. Initial averaging wasn’t working so well but we have an improved approach which seems to regulate builds better.
*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
