'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 6.0.1 was released
*There is a proposal and proof of concept for changes to layer configuration and setup out for discussion/review: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2463
*YP 6.1 M1 is in review
*The proposed layer changes will likely be more invasive than many of the recent changes but also incorporate a number of new features and improvements which will make them useful to everyone and allow various cleanups of existing code.
*AUH is now running daily in incremental mode. We’re still tweaking some of the behaviours and reporting but if anyone has feedback/concerns, let us know. Help is needed with resolving automatic update failures and getting the patches into a state where they can be accepted.
*There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467
*CVE metrics are up on scarthgap & wrynose branches due to delays with kernel upgrades. We’ve had intermittent LTP failures, kconfig type changes, lttng build failures and new warnings in dmesg which we needed to handle. We’re working through this, help is needed to accelerate testing of future stable kernel upgrades.
*The Yocto Project wiki has undergone significant cleanup, mostly with removal of obsolete pages/information. We plan to migrate the remaining data to a different solution. If anyone is able to help with review of content, please let us know.
*Systemd v260 will require Linux 5.10 or later. We run some systemd utils on the host during the build, so this presents issues with RHEL 8 era distros which have older kernel versions. If you use one of these distros, assistance may be needed to keep them supported. See https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119870359
*The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
*We continue to see high load on our infrastructure due to bots and AI scraping. This has primarily caused timeouts and errors accessing git.openembedded.org & git.yoctoproject.org. We have mitigations in place for now. Traditional git:// protocol continues to be disabled.
*There was a widely reported security issue with musl+openssh. The project has published details on the situation here: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto-security/message/1728
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
*We had some positive response to our request for help with the issues highlighted from the bug triage team last week. Further help is requested with the following devtool & recipetool issues:
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic:
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
**recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
*We have moved a couple of planned releases forward by a week to avoid needing to make a release during the end of the year holidays.
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**6.1.1:   2026-11-23
**groff build race issues
**6.0.5:   2026-11-30
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
**5.0.22:  2026-12-07
*We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto
**6.2 M1:  2026-12-14
