'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M2 rc2 is being released today Mar. 5, 2019.
*YP 6.0 M2 has been released.
*YP 2.7 M3 has not yet been built but progress has been made in resolving several issues:
*YP 4.0.34 is due to be released.
**bug 13178 “X server and matchbox desktop don't start up properly on beaglebone” was fixed
*YP 5.3.3 is in review after QA.
**multiconfig bugs have been fixed and a test case added
*YP 6.0 M3 is the feature freeze for 6.0 which is our next LTS.
**qemu virgl code and selftests have been added (not enabled as default)
*YP 6.0 M3 is now due to build however there are many key changes needed still missing.
**qemu native build was split into user and system components
**Issues still pending:
**lttng-tools ptest timeout fixed
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
**systemd version upgrade
**Deprecation of ltp (upstream dropped runltp and mandate kirk)
**ltp recipe version upgrade
**How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
**perl ptest regressions fixed
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
*The list of remaining potential items for M3 is:
**SBOM/cve-check changes.
**5.0 linux kernel (and libc headers) (Bruce)
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (memory corruption in pseudo?) (#16078)
**qemuarm to v7 changes (Jon)
*Issues that are mostly known quantities still needing work:
**Aarch64 build host support finalization (Jon)
**x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**Busybox ‘full’ utility replacement (Tom)
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds
*YP 2.5.3 is nearly ready for building however the autobuilder-helper changes need to be resolved for the stable branches, as do the resulttool changes in master to move to the new QA process.
**Reconcile poky and OE-Core defaults templates.
**Resolve Fedora 43 selftest failures
**Fixing yocto-check-layer to work with –machines
*Issues that were resolved this week:
**Switching to pkg-config.
**Allowing non-destructive git fetcher updates for bitbake-setup (further tweaks still being discussed)
*We are seeing issues with older versions of tar on RHEL 9 derived distros (selinux triggers due to xattrs)
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
