'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
 
*YP 6.0 M2 has been released.
*Next week M2 is due to build so if anyone has changes for that milestone, please send ASAP.
*YP 4.0.34 is due to be released.
*YP 4.0.2 has been through QA and is likely to be released in the next few days.
*YP 5.3.3 is in review after QA.
*A reproducibility issue was identified and raised a question on whether we could enable              an old QA check for these kinds of issues (‘buildpaths’ in insane.bbclass). Some bugs were fixed in the test but is has highlighted several reproducibility issues. Some have been fixed but others remain:
*YP 6.0 M3 is the feature freeze for 6.0 which is our next LTS.
**docs issues in lib32-vala, rpm, lib32-gtk-doc, vala, gtk-doc
*YP 6.0 M3 is now due to build however there are many key changes needed still missing.  
**musl issue in ltp
**Issues still pending:
**multilib issues in lib32-vala, vala, rpm (may overlap docs)
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
**qemuarm64 kernel-devsrc issue (Bruce looking into)
**Deprecation of ltp (upstream dropped runltp and mandate kirk)
**meta-virt issues in xen-tools (Christopher looking into)
**How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
**meta-gplv2 issues in mc, tar
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
**lttng-modules .debug issue on beaglebone, edgerouter, and qemumips
**SBOM/cve-check changes.
*Fixing these will allow us to enable buildpaths by default which should allow more people to spot reproducibility issues.
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (memory corruption in pseudo?) (#16078)
*There is a discussion about layer setup tooling in the bitbake-layers discussion on the OE-Core list, input is welcome from those with an interest in this.
*Issues that are mostly known quantities still needing work:
*There is also a RFC series about improving the eSDK tooling workflows from Alex Kanavin which may be of interest.
**x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*Code to monitor the /proc/pressure interface has been added and there is a patch to optionally allow bitbake to reduce the number of processes running depending on system load, which it is hoped may help some of our autobuilder intermittent issues (thanks Aryaman and Randy).
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds
*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
**Reconcile poky and OE-Core defaults templates.
**Resolve Fedora 43 selftest failures
**Fixing yocto-check-layer to work with –machines
*Issues that were resolved this week:
**Switching to pkg-config.
**Allowing non-destructive git fetcher updates for bitbake-setup (further tweaks still being discussed)
*We are seeing issues with older versions of tar on RHEL 9 derived distros (selinux triggers due to xattrs)
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.


'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C would be greatly appreciated. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 4.1 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*There are a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder, any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be welcome! https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
*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.
*Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe maintainer. Please look at https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRgNISmH0Ditf0bRtSezeR2XsgKIiSFJKF6KJUHpnzocNGzvKZbuSDKfmV3n64BFXDRqElBSJnhHtG4/pubchart?oid=1993375488&format=interactive
