'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1.9 has been through QA and is awaiting release approval, no blocking issues were identified.
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*YP 3.4 M1 was released.
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*Significantly for the project, we have now identified a kernel hang caused from RCU stalls which has been plaguing our autobuilder testing for months. The issue is still open in upstream mainline kernels but there is a patch queued in the rcu tree for it. Since applying this patch to linux-yocto, our builds have been noticeably greener and more stable. We have closed out many of the related AB-INT bugs and will be creating new ones for any remaining issues as they occur since it is hard to tell some other bugs apart from the RCU issue.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*The prserv rewrite to use asyncio is stuck on autobuilder hangs when testing at larger scale. We’d welcome help from anyone with more details asyncio knowledge/experience as it is looking like the new code isn’t entirely stable in python 3.5/3.6 and may have “at exit” issues, as well as perhaps issues mixing async io code on the client side with multiprocessing during parsing.
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*There does still seem to be an arm specific LTP hang reading /proc/kmsg now tracked by bug 14460.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*The multiconfig changes in bitbake continue to cause problems, we still need simpler test cases to reproduce issues rather than huge builds. The existing patches seem to fix some workloads and break others. Richard is trying to fix but trying to fix autobuilder issues and other problems and these are slow builds to debug.
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur, about 50% of the open issues are now ptest failures and the rest are various other races or timeouts. 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
*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.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)

*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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 are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*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 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.
