'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.33 has been released
* YP 5.0.20 is under review.
*YP 5.0.16 is in TSC review
* YP 6.1 M3 is due to build and we are at feature freeze
*YP 6.0 M2, 5.3.2, & 4.0.34 are in QA.
* There are issues with changes in bot/AI protection at github.com which are affecting our CI.  
**We are aware of changes in QA timelines and are discussing how to address them.
* Most M3 changes have merged, we want to mitigate the github issues before building M3.
*We have issues which need further work that will block 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
**x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
* 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.
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (memory corruption in pseudo?) (#16078)
* 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:
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds
** Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
*We also have issues we need to resolve before release:
** aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
**Allowing non-destructive git fetcher updates for bitbake-setup.
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.
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
**Kernel rust support.
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**Switching to pkg-config.
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**Deprecation of ltp (upstream dropped runltp and mandate kirk)
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
**How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
*Progress was made on some of the risc-v speed differences in qemu which should help some of the autobuilder intermittent failures, thanks Trevor!
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
**SBOM/cve-check changes.
**Reconcile poky and OE-Core defaults templates.
*OE-Core switched to enabling a hash equivalence server by default.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and the high number of intermittent build failures is still problematic. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
*The project has a booth at Embedded World next week, feel free to come and say Hi if you’re there!

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!
