'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are now two weeks away from feature freeze for 4.3.
*RP is on holiday this week so should not be working
*YP 3.1.27 was released
*YP 5.2.3 is being reviewed for release.
*YP 4.0.12 is in QA.
*YP 5.0.12 is in QA
*The 6.4 kernel upgrade is still blocked as we’ve seen two nasty looking hangs in automated testing: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/148/builds/349/steps/12/logs/stdio https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/148/builds/354/steps/12/logs/stdio as well as a preempt-rt boot error that appears more consistently: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/72/builds/7616/steps/36/logs/stdio The intermittent issues are a significant risk to automated testing stability and it is hard to know how to proceed as few people are willing/able to help with them. We’ve upgraded qemu 8.0.3 -> 8.0.4 just in case that helps.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build shortly (and is feature freeze)
*The various systemd issues have mostly been resolved although the AUH did break as a result and will have to be fixed and rerun.
*Linux 6.16 has been integrated but is currently not the default
Build layout changed slightly with the removal of PE and PR from the WORKDIR path.
*Patches continue to merge into master for upgrades and fixes until M3 is built
There are patches pending which remove source control revisions from PV and move them to PKGV, further simplifying WORKDIR paths and generally improving the code and the way AUTOREV works. This allows SRCPV to be removed as it is no longer needed.
*The main mirroring issues left are around “downloadfilename” support in urls which likely needs to be rewritten.
*Significant fixes were made to both the binutils and gcc testsuites which avoid many of the mips toolchain test failures. The failure counts are roughly the same (few hundred) for each architecture now resulting in ~3200 failures overall.
*A new version of bitbake-setup is in master-next and is making huge progress in readiness, thanks Alexander Kanavin!
*There are now consistently ~200 ltp ‘controllers’ failures on both arm and x86 targets.
*The Embedded Linux Conference was a success, with lots of Yocto-related talks being full to capacity. The OpenEmbedded and Yocto Project mini conferences were well attended and very interesting. Thanks to everyone who attended and made it a great event!
*A new uninative version was released to add some patches to patchelf to avoid bugs.
*A new test addition to oe-selftest caused another test to fail consistently on the autobuilder and this has been tracked down to one test corrupting the other if they run in the same TMPDIR. This only happens with specific parallelism settings where they happen to run together or with no parallelism.
*We continue to see intermittent ptest failures for glib-networking, mdadm and openssh, help would be much appreciated.
*CVE metrics are worrying with significant numbers of open CVEs against master, many of them kernel related. The 6.4 upgrade should help but that is blocked. Mickledore is also badly affected with a record high count. https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/

*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 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.
