'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.2.1 and YP 3.3 M1 were released
*YP 4.0.19 is in QA
*Patches for 3.3 M2 development are being tested and merged. We have two weeks before M2 is due to be built.
*YP 5.1 M1 rc1 is building
*Many version upgrades have been merged and the project has worked closely with the upcoming autoconf and ppp releases to reduce our patch deficit and ensure we’re ready for them.
*We identified the performance problem in bitbake using hash equivalence servers and have made changes to batch queries and improve build times
*We have seen a number of reproducibility failures from the increased test coverage on the autobuilder, several of the issues have had fixes.
*Extra logging for that performance problem is available by setting BB_LOGCONFIG=XXX/bitbake/contrib/autobuilderlog.json (the more verbose logging the autobuilder uses) which will then show if initial query or rehash looping takes longer than 30s for iterations or 60s overall.
*We are now tracking intermittent ptest failures and a number of bugs have been opened for these, we don’t as yet have people able to work on them though.
*We changed locked-sigs to include the hash equivalence mapping data, removing the need to copy the cache file.
*CVE metrics have trended slowly downwards, thanks to everyone sending patches and quietly improving things either through patches or better CVE definitions upstream.
*Libtool was upgraded to the 2.5.0 alpha release, many patches were merged upstream.
*Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur. 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
*Qemu has been upgraded to 9.0.0, kernel headers to 6.9 and stable and dev kernel updates merged (to 6.6.32)
*The LTS release has changed documentation format from docbook over to sphinx to match master as it should be more maintainable and consistent with the project over the planned life of the LTS.
*There is one remaining issue on fedora40, systemtap-native does not build. The other Fedora 40 are believed to be fixed.
*For the LTS, there is also discussion on whether the wider reproducibility testing should be enabled as recently done in master due to the number of potential issues which may need to be fixed (master isn’t 100% working yet) as well as whether the pseudo path filtering should be backported. Please do give input to discussions on these topics on the mailing lists.
*Some layers are setting fallbacks for UNPACKDIR which break OE-Core by trying to claim compatibility with everything. Errors have been added to make this problem clear.
*sstate has had changes to fix a bug where build-history data was inconsistent. The siteconfig class was removed to make that change easier and improve the code, it was mostly unused anyway.
*The parallelism in the hash client was removed as batching queries is much more effective and easier on the server.
*There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990
*Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
*Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
*There is a further update from Marta/Syslinbit on the CVE tooling/patches
*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.
*Post release upgrading is resulting in an improvement in patch metrics which is great to see, more should appear next week in the statistics too.

*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!

*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.
