'''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 continue to be in holding pattern for M3 whilst we sort out the sphinx documentation migration. We’re at a point where we just need to press on and complete it.
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*There are three significant autobuilder issues being faced currently:
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
**qemumips fails with systemd with 256MB memory, it needs 512MB. If we enable 512MB, we see random hangs. Unless someone can debug and sort the qemu memory issues, we may end up disabling core-image-sato-sdk and core-image-full-cmdline for qemumips+systemd
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
**networking with qemu images appears to glitch at times (particularly slower targets such as ltp and qemumips), the session stalls with “no route to host”. We need better serial interrogation to determine the state of qemu when this happens, its unclear if qemu/kernel hangs, networking fails or what is breaking.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
**The timeouts in bitbake have been narrowed down to the “SyncThread” which writes out the cache data to disk stalling for around 90s. We don’t have a plan to address this right now but its at least process in identifying the cause
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*The bitbake parsing hangs should hopefully all be resolved now, thanks to Joshua for help there.
*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.
*A preview of the sphinx built documentation is available at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/, work is ongoing to complete the migration work and blocking M3.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*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.
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
*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
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)

*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.
