'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
* YP 5.0.15 was released
* YP 5.0.20 is under review.
* YP 5.3.1 is under review
* YP 6.1 M3 is due to build and we are at feature freeze
* YP 6.0 M1 is in QA
* There are issues with changes in bot/AI protection at github.com which are affecting our CI.  
* YP 4.0.33 is queued for QA after 6.0 M1
* Most M3 changes have merged, we want to mitigate the github issues before building M3.
* YP 6.0 M2 is due next week!
* 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
* Good progress has been made with the autobuilder issues and an M1 build is in QA but we still don’t have the stability in builds we need for reliable project operations.
* 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 currently 6 high open bugs, which will block M2:
* 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:
** Issues reusing binaries from fedora 43 (and maybe ubuntu 25.10) on older systems (patchelf triggered?) (#16074, #16087)
** Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
** x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
** aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
** AB-INT: build-sysroots: useradd command did not succeed (#16135)
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.
** Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking?) (#16129)
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
** Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
* The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic. Any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them and we often 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.
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
* 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. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
**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!

Key Status/Updates:

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!
