'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*Stephen is unavailable at the moment, please refer any queries to Richard
*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 2.6.2 was rebuilt as rc4 to include the boost upgrade revert and is due to be released today. The YP 2.6.2 rc3/4 report is summarized at https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2019-April/044827.html and the results are at https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/releases/yocto-2.6.2.rc4/testresults/.
*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 2.5.3 is currently going through the QA process.
*There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467
*We’re sad to announce that we will be removing eclipse plugin builds from the autobuilder and will not be including the plugin in any future project releases. This is due to a lack of anyone able to help work on the plugin development, bug fixing or release.
*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.
*The key fixes mentioned in last week’s status have been merged into 2.7.
*The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
*A key bug in pseudo was identified which may be the root cause of the long standing glibc-locale uid “host contamination” issue. Many thanks to Peter and Otavio for the help in debugging that. A separate fix should also ensure pseudo works with newer distro coreutils and glibc versions.
*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
*YP 2.7 rc2 (warrior) was built successfully and is currently going through the QA process after 2.5.3 is done.
*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:
*The ptest results in 2.7 are much more stable than ever before with results being consistent from build to build. At the start of 2.8 we can make some further improvements so we take advantage of this and build upon it to reduce regressions in the system.
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
*In an effort to keep the patch queue under control, patches are merging to master.
**recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
*The list of issues from last week of worrying things we lack resources to improve upon remains:
*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.
**Intermittent autobuilder failures (fork running out of resources - which resources?, oe-selftest intermittent issues, gpg signing resource problems, occasional PR server failure and more)
**6.1.1:    2026-11-23
**Build-appliance testing issues (show up on each QA report across multiple releases)
**6.0.5:    2026-11-30
**40% valgrind ptest failures
**5.0.22:   2026-12-07
**Known bitbake memory resident bugs
**6.2 M1:  2026-12-14
**Other ptest failures
*The 2.8 planning discussions are starting and there is a google doc summarising the discussions so far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CNEKA4d0eT6-e0hnS2pwi7xdZ5_t6smpZO2HbaJGXbU/
*If people are planning to work on specific things in 2.8 please let us know so we can incorporate this into our plans. If you’re interested in working on anything in the document, please also let us know or talk with us in one of the planning meetings.


'''Planned Releases for YP 2.7:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M4 Cutoff was Apr. 1, 2019
*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 2.7 M4 Release Target is Apr. 26, 2019
*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/
*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.
