'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We’re now in feature freeze for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*Several key 3.0 changes have now merged:
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
**5.2 linux-libc-kernel-headers
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
**5.2 kernel recipes
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
**Removal of LSB and poky-lsb and replacement with alt config testing
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
**Patches have significantly reduced the dependency on python2
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
**Reproducible builds are now being tested for core-image-minimal
*This change will mean “poky” as a combo-layer repository will no longer be needed or updated. This means autobuilder changes before we build 5.3 M3.
*There are the following changes still under discussion/testing:
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
**Systemd vs. sysvinit defaults (maybe for the poky alternative configuration tests)
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
**Making 5.2 the default kernel for qemu (has regressions, see below)
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
**Hashserv performance issue resolution
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)
**Final configuration of hash equivalency
 
**toolchain testsuite patch series
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*The sstate hash equivalency continues to have challenges:
*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!
**we need to rework the client/server communication to scale to the autobuilder
*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
**there are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to expose
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
**we have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour should be
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.3_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
**test cases are proving to be problematic to write in a maintainable way
*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.
*Patch merging is roughly up to date again
*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.
*We have several significant problematic bugs that are being worked on:
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
**5.2 stap build issue on qemuarm
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
**5.2 kprobes error message (qemuarm64, qemumips64)
*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.
