'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 will be released imminently
*YP 6.0.2 has been released
*We’re pleased to be able to announce that the stable maintainer for the 3.1 LTS release will be Steve Sakoman
*YP 5.0.19 is due to release
*YP 3.1 has been announced as an LTS release: https://www.yoctoproject.org/yocto-project-long-term-support-announced/
*YP 6.1 M2 will build this week after pseudo, systemd and resulttool changes merge
*The 3.2 planning document where we’ve been discussing potential 3.2 developments is available at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/100bTV-etO0joh6rAkcr7smlZ9iuENG_8BtaXs_vb54c/edit?usp=sharing
*Some invasive LICENSE changes have merged into master:
*Master branch development will open up later this week, there are already some patches queued and tested in master-next
**We now require the LICENSE field to match SPDX identifiers.
*There is discussion on the openembedded-architecture list about a particularly troublesome multilib issue which doesn’t appear to have any good resolution at present.
**The build will issue warnings when this isn’t the case.
*We are aware of some issues with bug trend metrics this week due to server transitions and are working to resolve those.
**Non SPDX licenses will need to be of the form LicenseRef-XXX
**CLOSED is no longer a valid value.  
**‘WITH’ license exceptions are now supported
Big thanks for Joshua for getting us to the point where we can finally clean this up!
*We have identified a few linux-yocto CVEs which need triaging due to missing version information in the CVE databases (affecting master, wrynose and scarthgap), see the email sent to the list: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/topic/120036383
*Patches generated by the automatic upgrade helper (AUH) now include changelogs where these can be extracted from upstream.
*A couple of further pseudo related issues were identified, one with linkat flags and one with openat2 (tar related/triggered). We hope to have patches merged soon.
*Systemd issues with older host kernels (e.g. RHEL 8) is still being worked on https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119870359
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge. The review calls are running out of time each meeting which limits progress.
**We’re making little progress on intermittent build failures despite the problems continuing to impact test builds:
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**groff build race issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*For the qemuarmv5 amba crash (#16217), we did confirm it doesn’t seem to be load or memory usage related and does seem to happen on the autobuilder but not on other systems, for reasons still currently unknown.


'''YP 3.1 Dates'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M4 In review for release
*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 3.1 M4 Release date 2020/4/24
*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.
