'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 6.0.2 has been 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 5.0.19 is due to release
*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.
*YP 6.1 M2 will build this week after pseudo, systemd and resulttool changes merge
*There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467
*Some invasive LICENSE changes have merged into master:
*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.
**We now require the LICENSE field to match SPDX identifiers.  
*The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
**The build will issue warnings when this isn’t the case.
*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
**Non SPDX licenses will need to be of the form LicenseRef-XXX
*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:
**CLOSED is no longer a valid value.
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
**‘WITH’ license exceptions are now supported
**recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
Big thanks for Joshua for getting us to the point where we can finally clean this up!
*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.
*We have identified a few linux-yocto CVEs which need triaging due to missing version information in the CVE databases (affecting master, wrynose and scarthgap), see the email sent to the list: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/topic/120036383
**6.1.1:   2026-11-23
*Patches generated by the automatic upgrade helper (AUH) now include changelogs where these can be extracted from upstream.
**6.0.5:    2026-11-30
*A couple of further pseudo related issues were identified, one with linkat flags and one with openat2 (tar related/triggered). We hope to have patches merged soon.
**5.0.22:   2026-12-07
*Systemd issues with older host kernels (e.g. RHEL 8) is still being worked on https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119870359
**6.2 M1:  2026-12-14
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge. The review calls are running out of time each meeting which limits progress.
**We’re making little progress on intermittent build failures despite the problems continuing to impact test builds:
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**groff build race issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*For the qemuarmv5 amba crash (#16217), we did confirm it doesn’t seem to be load or memory usage related and does seem to happen on the autobuilder but not on other systems, for reasons still currently unknown.
