'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
 
*YP 5.3.3 was released.
*YP 3.1.18 was released
*YP 5.0.17 is in QA
*YP 4.0.3 is due to build this week but we need the glibc and kernel reproducibility fixes first
*YP 6.0 M3 is the feature freeze for 6.0 which is our next LTS.
*Major changes to the rust toolchain build process were merged and this enables target rust, cross SDK and automated SDK testing. Sadly some issues remain and are stopping enabling the tests by default.
*YP 6.0 M3 is now due to build however there are still key changes missing.
*We have finally tracked down and worked out a fix for the kernel reproducibility issue which appeared in recent 5.15 stable updates. It was a config option which changed depending on whether /bin/sh was dash or bash.
*Issues with pending work needed:
*The 5.19 kernel uprev is nearly ready to merge as the final build issues look to have been addressed.
**Converting scripts/run-cvecheck to sbom-cve-check
*The base glibc 2.36 patches have merged but not the actual upgrade yet.
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*We had some infrastructure issues over the weekend which impacted the autobuilder. Combined with a number of complex patch submissions, this has meant there are patches backlogged.
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds (need tags)
*A number of new CVEs appeared in master this week so help would be much appreciated in addressing those.
**Ubuntu 26.04 support (need worker adding for testing)
*The debug file mapping issues are stalled due to developer bandwidth limitations.
*Issues that have patches ready to merge:
*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
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
**Fixing yocto-check-layer to work with --machines
**RHEL 9 xattrs/selinux/tar issue
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
**RHEL 10/openSUSE Leap 16.0 support
*Issues that need investigation
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta
*The proposed wic changes will need wic support files to be placed in files/wic within layers going forwards.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic, including the emergence of new issues (newer kernel version?). We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
*We are aware of our git hosting giving 502 Bad Gateway errors, this is being investigated
*The CFP for the Yocto Project Workshop at Embedded Recipes 2026 closes today: https://pretalx.com/yocto-embedded-recipes-2026/cfp

*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.
