'''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.
*We have built M3 and this is due from QA on Thursday
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*The main unresolved issue for 3.0 is with the hash equivalence server causing problems with the eSDK and this issue is being investigated but can’t be reproduced as yet.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*We also want to find a better solution to the systemd timeout problem before final release.
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*A significant performance problem has been found on the autobuilder where some builds are scaling in time badly as the sstate cache grows, taking 12 hours or more in some cases. Unfortunately nobody seems motivated to help work on this kind of issue.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*The plan for M4 is to resolve the above issues and any issues raised from M3 QA, then proceed with the main release rc builds. The first M4 build is scheduled for next week.
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.
*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.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)


'''Planned Releases for YP 3.0 {2.8}:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*M3 Release 6th Sept
*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!
*M4 Cutoff 30th Sept - this will be YP 3.0.
*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 3.0 {2.8 (M4)} Final Release 25th Oct
*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 5.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.3_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.
