Key Status/Updates:
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
YP 2.5 M1 rc3 is out of QA and should be released imminently. There were some minor issues but we’ll address these as part of M2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW03_-_2018-1-18-_Full_Test_Cycle_-_2.5_M1_rc3 and see: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v2.5_Status#Milestone_1_-_Target_Dec._15.2C_2017
*YP 5.0.14 was released
With a round of security released fixes likely to land shortly, we’ll likely wait for these before we roll M2.
*YP 5.3 rc4 has passed QA and is under review
The Automatic Upgrade Helper (AUH) ran, now based on devtool functionality and testing against a wider set of architectures and build options. This looks likely to easy recipe maintenance and increase productivity for people and I’d like to thank Alex for his work on this. There is much it could do better but it is continuing to evolve and become easier to use which is great to see.
*The 5.3 QA report is available and no major release blocking issues were found so we should be able to finally make the release.
The AUH emails have triggered a good batch of recipe upgrades. QEMU was also upgraded (which can often cause problems).
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
I sent out a separate summary of changes which are happening to the Autobuilder, people on the SWAT team need to be especially aware of this http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-architecture/2018-January/000694.html
*Welcome to Paul and Yoann in their new roles and huge thanks to Steve!
The long queued python recipe changes including its manifest have landed. We tested this as far as we could in core and I know there is some fall out in other layers, help and patience to work through the issues is appreciated. Patches pending against the python recipes will need to be rebased and resent.
*Patches for master are merging and the builds are looking greener, there is a problem with the test result regression reports still causing failures as well as some check-layer issues.
There have been some significant changes to cmake, ninja and meson and meson is now the default for some recipes. There were some significant gettext cleanups.
*We have isolated the Fedora43 workers until we can root cause the binary problems it was causing when the sstate was shared to older systems
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
*The project is exploring the idea of applying for funding for security related work. If anyone (individual or consultancies) has ideas, please talk to Paul/Richard/TSC. This is an opportunity to work on those issues you never have time/funding for!
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved


Planned upcoming dot releases:
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
YP 2.4.2 (Rocko) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches are ready.
*As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
YP 2.3.4 (Pyro) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches are ready.
*There is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarball and SDK). We’d love assistance in moving this forward and getting some kind of upstream feature merged to make this easier: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260
YP 2.2.3 (Morty) rc1 is in QA, see https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.2_QA_Status. This will not contain the spectre/meltdown patches as they’re not ready yet.
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 6.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_6.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*Ongoing project development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing We need to continue to develop this as it will allow us to potentially find ways to fund specific work items.
