'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
SWAT team rotation: Ross -> Juro on Jan. 26, 2018.
*YP 5.3.1 was released
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Build_Failure_Swat_Team
*YP 6.0 M1 was released
*YP 4.0.33 is in QA
*YP 6.0 M2 is due to build next week.
*There are currently 5 high open bugs, which will block M2. Three have line of sight to being resolved:
**Issues reusing binaries from fedora 42/43 on older systems (#16087)
**rust do_test_compile/do_install segfault (#16058)
**Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
*Two are currently needing further work:
**x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (#16078)
*We are about to drop the 6.12 and 6.16 kernel recipes leaving just 6.18 for the next release
*The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic - we continue to prioritise addressing these since any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them.
*Patch review is now using two branches:
**“master-review”  - patches which pass on the autobuilder and will be discussed on the patch review call (https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=master-review)
**“master-backlog” - patches which have been discussed and need further investigation or more detailed feedback which we haven’t had time for yet (https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=master-backlog)
*Patches are merging but there is a backlog and we’ve had to prioritize simpler changes. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.


Key Status/Updates:
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
With a round of security released fixes likely to land shortly, we’ll likely wait for these before we roll M2.
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 AUH emails have triggered a good batch of recipe upgrades. QEMU was also upgraded (which can often cause problems).
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
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.
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.


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.
*We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C would be greatly appreciated. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
YP 2.3.4 (Pyro) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches are ready.
*There are a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder, any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be welcome! https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
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.
*Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe maintainer. Please look at https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing

Key Status/Updates:

• 2.3.3 and 2.4.1 were released. These releases do not contain spectre/meltdown patches/fixes as those are still being worked on and haven’t merged yet.
*[[2019 Yocto Project Weekly Status Archive]]
• We are mostly up to date with patch queues although there are some bigger series which are still being tested/reviewed and are still pending
*[[2018 Yocto Project Weekly Status Archive]]
• Due to testing problems with 2.5 M1 rc3, it is still undergoing QA testing and is 90% complete. We are continuing to have some QA transition/infrastructure issues. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.5_QA_Status.
• A separate update on the spectre/meltdown status and the project has been sent out to the oe-core mailing list.
 
Planned upcoming dot releases:
YP 2.4.2 (Rocko) will be built when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches has been proven ready.

YP 2.2.3 (Morty) rc1 is in QA, see https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.2_QA_Status.  We are considering holding this release candidate and building another when a stable version of the spectre/meltdown patches has been proven ready.

Key Status/Updates:
• 2.3.3 and 2.4.1 are likely due to imminently release, we tracked down the performance regressions to some kind of infrastructure issue which is still being investigated.
• The automated testing issues have mostly been resolved now and this has meant we’ve run a series of builds for master and the stable release branches. As such, the backlog of patches against morty, pyro, rocko and master are substantially reduced after this weekend.
• Armin’s help with the stable patch queues is much appreciated.
• Due to testing problems with 2.5 M1 rc1, particular from the qemu APIC hangs, we have put a new build, rc3 into QA. The QA of YP 2.5 M1 rc3 is about 2% complete.  See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.5_QA_Status
• We’re aware there are some serious security issues around at the moment. We’ve been stalled partly as maintainers are returning from vacation, partly as fixes are only now becoming available. As fixes are available we will waterfall these into the branches. One of the reasons we’ve focused on clearing the other patches queued is so we can quickly test and merge these and then proceed with another set of point releases.
 
Planned upcoming dot releases:
YP 2.4.1 (Rocko) rc1 is out of QA, and should be released this week.
YP 2.3.3 (Pyro) rc1 is out of QA, and should be released this week.
