'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1.1 is out from QA and had no defects raised so is likely to be released after review
*YP 5.0.13 was released
*YP 3.2 M1 will be built as soon as we have a clean build run of the currently queued patches. We’ve not seen anything else pending critical to M1.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to be released
*We are struggling with maintainers for some key components of the system/infrastructure such as devtool, wic, buildhistory and patchwork/patchtest. If anyone can help in these areas please contact Richard.
*YP 4.0.31 is in QA
*There was a key fix to the gitsm fetcher which resolved autobuilder regressions, thanks Paul Barker for helping resolve that at short notice.
*Documentation updates related to many of the recent changes are in progress, thanks to all who have helped on these.
*There were some important improvements to multiconfig this week so that multiconfig task hashes are correctly accounted for and rebuilt as well as BBMASK being handled correctly in individual multiconfigs, thanks Joshua Watt for those improvements.
*We plan to merge the documentation changes then stop updating the poky repository master branch.
*The biggest concern for both LTS and master right now are the intermittent test failures that keep occurring on the infrastructure, we’re struggling to get clean builds of either branch due to these issues. Instability in the upstream distros we run on (which we regularly pull for security updates) are sadly contributing to the issues, seemingly more significantly than usual.
*We are now past the feature freeze for YP 5.3. To be accepted, patches that have a high bar until after we branch master from whinlatter. Known issues:
*If anyone has thoughts on attracting and recognising project contributors and contributions, we would be interested in ideas and assistance in that area.
**check-layer tests are now running under nodistro instead of poky, so some layers are failing as they assume some DISTRO_FEATURES are enabled.
*There remain a large number of bugs that we’d ideally like to fix in 3.2 M2 but they are “unassigned”, there is nobody to work on them. If anyone has time, looking at these bugs would be a great way to help us. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
**Toaster is broken with bitbake-setup (#16012). Help moving to supporting non-poky layouts would be good if anyone is using Toaster.
**The patch/cve metrics jobs need reviewing to be sure they’re correct with bitbake-setup (#16013)
**The build performance jobs don’t know that poky and oe-core are the same so the charts are currently wrong (#16014)
**Help welcomed to resolve these issues!
*Upstream linux kernel just end-of-life’d 6.16 but whinlatter contains 6.16. The 6.17 kernel has run into issues we don’t have availability/time to resolve unfortunately so we will have to release with 6.16.
*YP 6.0 (wrynose) and the next LTS releases proposed timeline: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BlvtPxpYsxHkeL10DFBQzBI9q_1HIk9r2FPxlfsQ95U/edit?tab=t.0
*There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related to ongoing security concerns.
 
'''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.
