'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M2 is due to be released with reservations.
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*There are significant concerns with M2 due to the build build reproducibility failures which continue to cause major problems with master too. These will have to block the M3 build/release.
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*The NPM fetcher rework patches have now merged, we’d like to thank Jean-Marie Lemetayer for his patience whilst they were made into good shape with regression tests, thanks, its a good end result.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*The host dependencies on makeinfo and pod2man have now been dropped to simplify build dependencies and improve reproducibility.
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*The mpc8315e-rdb machine/BSP has been dropped from meta-yocto-bsp.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*Build reproducibility issues have been tracked down to a number of causes but many more remain, some with open bugs, some with bugs yet to be filed. Any assistance with reproducibility issues is appreciated as is the major factor blocking patch merging at present.
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*Reproducibility failure debugging has been improved with better integration into the autobuilder to assist with this. Saved problematic output is now saved at: https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/repro-fail/
*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.
*Ongoing kernel issues still prevent kernel upgrades merging at present but work on debugging the issues is moving forward (thanks Victor/Cisco in particular)
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*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).
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
*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
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
*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.
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)
 
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*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!
*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 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.
