*YP 5.3.2 has been released

*YP 6.0 M2 is due to be released
* YP 6.1 M3 is due to build and we are at feature freeze
*YP 4.0.34 is in QA.
* There are issues with changes in bot/AI protection at github.com which are affecting our CI.  
*YP 6.0 M3 is the feature freeze for 6.0 which is our next LTS.
* Most M3 changes have merged, we want to mitigate the github issues before building M3.
*YP 6.0 M3 is due to build next week however there are many key changes needed still missing.
* 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
*We have issues we need to resolve before M3:
* 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.
**x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
* 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:
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (memory corruption in pseudo?) (#16078)
** Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds
** 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:
**Switching to pkg-config.
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**Deprecation of ltp (upstream dropped runltp and mandate kirk)
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
*Progress was made on some of the risc-v speed differences in qemu which should help some of the autobuilder intermittent failures, thanks Trevor!
**SBOM/cve-check changes.
**Reconcile poky and OE-Core defaults templates.
**Resolve Fedora 43 selftest failures
*glibc was upgraded 2.43 and we released a new uninative to match
*runqemu now has better handling for different display outputs including VNC on unix domain sockets
*We are adding testing of ptests on musl to our test matrix
*Kernel rust support has merged
*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!

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!
