'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.34 was released.
* YP 5.0.20 is under review.
*YP 5.3.3 is approved for release.
* YP 6.1 M3 is due to build and we are at feature freeze
*YP 6.0 M3 is the feature freeze for 6.0 which is our next LTS.
* There are issues with changes in bot/AI protection at github.com which are affecting our CI.  
*YP 6.0 M3 is now due to build however there are still key changes missing.  
* Most M3 changes have merged, we want to mitigate the github issues before building M3.
*Issues still pending:
* 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
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
* 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.
**Converting scripts/run-cvecheck to sbom-cve-check
* 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:
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
** Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**RHEL 9 xattrs/selinux/tar issue
** aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
**How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
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.
**RHEL 10/openSUSE Leap 16.0/Ubuntu 26.04 support
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
*Issues that are mostly known quantities still needing work:
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
**Fixing yocto-check-layer to work with --machines (many fixes merged)
*Progress was made on some of the risc-v speed differences in qemu which should help some of the autobuilder intermittent failures, thanks Trevor!
*Issues that were resolved this week:
**Sbom-cve-check added
**Replacement of runtlp with kirk (Thanks Daniel!)
**bitbake-setup vscode integration
**Fedora 43 selftest failures
**Reconciling poky and OE-Core defaults templates.
*We have rationalized the tags in various project repositories, more information can be found here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2312 Whilst controversial, this will make the tag list much easier to understand for users, guide users to use the right tags going forward and remove confusion about whether any tags were “missed”, at the expense that some CI setups may need adjusting short term.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic, including the emergence of new issues (newer kernel version?). We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
*The CFP closing date for the Yocto Project Workshop at Embedded Recipes 2026 has been extended until April 7th, please submit a proposal if you’d like to present: https://pretalx.com/yocto-embedded-recipes-2026/cfp

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!
