'''Tip of the Week:'''<br/>
'''Project data dashboard: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/'''<br/>
*The scripts in ${WORKDIR}/temp/run.XXX for shell tasks can be quickly hacked and used for standalone debugging by replacing the function call at the end with “bash -i” which will then drop you into a shell environment matching the task being debugged (minus the fakeroot context).
*Bonus marks for anyone sending a patch to add the fakeroot context as comments at the start of the scripts.
*(anyone with tips they’d like to see here, please send to Stephen or Richard)


'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M2 is in QA but has issues with build reproducibility
*YP 5.3.1 was released
*We’re unlikely to rebuild M2 as master has the same issues and they look like they will take a while to resolve.
*YP 6.0 M1 was released
*There are now serious problems with the build reproducibility test failures on the autobuilder. We’re not sure why there is a sudden set of problems but they are real issues and causing most builds to fail. The tests will have to be disabled unless they can be resolved quickly. There are fixes merged for the CONFIG_SHELL issue and kbd and patches queued as a potential fix for makeinfo. There are more remaining issues, some have open bugs, others don’t have bugs yet. Help with any of these would be appreciated (or help filing the bugs).
*YP 4.0.33 is in QA
*We’re collecting a list of companies, products and projects which use the Yocto Project on the wiki: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Project_Users Please add any you know are missing (or email Richard/Stephen who can add).
*YP 6.0 M2 is due to build next week.
*We have created a “documentation” list and a “licensing” list on the yocto project mailing list infrastructure. We believe these topics would benefit from dedicated discussions, the people involved usually aren’t interested in bulk email as would be found on other lists. The new lists can be found at: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/licensing/join and https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/join
*There are currently 5 high open bugs, which will block M2. Three have line of sight to being resolved:
*There is continued concern about the number of recurring/intermittent failures in the automated testing, mostly from selftest and testimage.
**Issues reusing binaries from fedora 42/43 on older systems (#16087)
*We continue to struggle to get clean ‘full’ builds due to the reproducibility issues in particular.
**rust do_test_compile/do_install segfault (#16058)
*The triage team is worried about attendance at triage meetings and the project is finding it hard to find people to help fix bugs. If anyone is willing to work on bugs, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
**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.

*YP 2.7.3 build date  2/10/2020
*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 2.7.3 release date 2/21/2020
*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 3.0.2 build date  2/3/2020
*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.
*YP 3.0.2 release date 2/14/2020
