'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
 
*YP 5.3 M3 is in QA
*YP 4.1 M2 has a build in progress and then will go into QA
*YP 5.0.13 is under review for release
*Last week there seemed to be a large number of autobuilder issues including many non-deterministic dependencies for qemu, as well as a lot of intermittent buildpaths issues. These have now mostly been resolved.
*Documentation updates related to many of the recent changes are in progress, thanks to all who have helped on these.
*The help received in resolving buildpaths issues was appreciated, particularly with the kernel where we seemed to uncover several unexpectedly.
*We have now past feature freeze for YP 5.3. To be accepted, patches that have a high bar until after we branch master from whinlatter. Known issues:
*We have enabled buildpaths in WARN_QA by default. This takes our reproducibility to a new level but there is some fallout in layers which will need to be fixed.
**check-layer tests are now running under nodistro instead of poky, so some layers are failing as they assume some DISTRO_FEATURES are enabled.
*meta-gplv2 builds have been dropped from master and the layer will no longer be maintained.
**Toaster is broken with bitbake-setup (#16012). Help moving to supporting non-poky layouts would be good if anyone is using Toaster.
*We’ve noticed that debug information is still not being processed by package.bbclass entirely correctly and it is missing a large chunk of the kernel sources for example. RP is trying to debug this.
**The patch/cve metrics jobs need reviewing to be sure they’re correct with bitbake-setup (#16013)
*There are continued reports of issues with the rust SDK compiler. Sadly we just have patches to make x86_64 work rather than getting to the root of the issues and cross compile it correctly, which is a concern.
**The build performance jobs don’t know that poky and oe-core are the same so the charts are currently wrong (#16014)
*Work is continuing on the /proc/pressure monitoring code. Initial averaging wasn’t working so well but we have an improved approach which seems to regulate builds better.
**Help welcomed to resolve these issues!
*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
*Upstream linux kernel just end-of-life’d 6.16 but whinlatter contains 6.16. We are evaluating the situation with 6.17, feedback on it (for/against and known issues) would be welcome.
 
*“poky” as a combo-layer repository will soon no longer be needed or updated for master and whinlatter branches.
*There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related to ongoing security concerns.

'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*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 4.1 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_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.
