'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*M3 has now closed and we’re at feature freeze for 3.2.
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*We now have most patches merged for 3.2, the main remaining question is around the documentation. The current plan is to merge the sphinx branches into master and then build M3.
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*There is a new technique being used to try and mitigate some of the runtime autobuilder issues, so far the results from that have looked promising (using the runqemu-renice script).
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*Some fixes for bitbake’s parsing handling have merged which hopefully will address some of the hung process issues we’ve been seeing. Some of the issues look like potential issues in upstream python multiprocessing.
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*There have also been significant cleanups to the server process logging and reporting of processes holding the bitbake lock.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*The work in enabling PRServ to work well with hash equivalence has merged.
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*A preview of the sphinx built documentation is now available at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/, work is ongoing to complete the migration work.
*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.
*We continue to struggle with a number of autobuilder intermittent bugs. 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 with any of these would be much appreciated, unfortunately it is proving hard to find anyone interested in helping figure these out and they significantly hamper our testing.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*One way to help the project is to help us with bugs that are currently unassigned but ideally needed during YP 3.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
*For older releases, we’ve been struggling to handle these with the changing distros on the autobuilder infrastructure. We’ve managed to pull together various pieces of work to allow these older releases to be built on the infrastructure and an email discussing this was sent to the openembedded-architecture list. It will mean adding some larger series of patches to the older release branches for the yocto-autobuilder-helper and openembedded-core repositories but it is believed this is in the best interests of being able to test these older releases going forward if needed. This may also reduce the barrier to entry for new maintainers and community maintenance.

*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.
