'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.2 M1 and YP 4.0.6 passed QA and are due for release.
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*Builds on the autobuilder are problematic at present due to connection losses with the controller machine. We understand the cause and will be migrating the controller to a new server/location to address this.
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*That, combined with OOM issues from recent bitbake cache changes meant patches are merging more slowly this week.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*There are a number of bitbake patches pending which are a bit more invasive than usual. These are aiming to address:
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
**memory issues seen with the recent cache changes and bitbake -S
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
**UI hangs where the bitbake server has crashed/hung or otherwise failed
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
**issues where bitbake may have removed another server instances bitbake.sock network socket file
*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.
**console interaction issues where bitbake may not respond to Ctrl+C
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
**event handler race issues around datastore accesses
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
*The OE TSC decided in favour of adding export flag expansion despite the performance impact so that patch will be queued.
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
*CVE levels in master are concerning again
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)
*With some debugging, the bitbake.sock disappearance was potentially identified and also issues with OOM process killing locking up bitbake’s server and UI were studied.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*There will be no status report next week, the next will be 3rd January 2023.

*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: patchtest, layerindex, 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 identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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 that are currently unassigned for YP 4.2 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*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.
