'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are now a week away from feature freeze for 4.3.
*YP 5.0.15 is in QA
*YP 4.0.12 is pending TSC approval and due to release
*YP 6.0 M1 will build when the 5 open high bugs are resolved.
*YP 4.2.3 is in QA
*We have a number of issues with build performance tests, test results and hanging glibc NFS tests on the autobuilder which need to be resolved before we can build a new release.
*We merged the 6.4 kernel and were able to resolve the preempt-rt issue (thanks Paul!) however intermittent hangs on qemuppc still remain as well as questions of x86 reliability on the autobuilder.
*Due to the number of problems currently present, patch merging will have to slow to avoid adding any further issues.
*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. We believe all review discussion has been resolved at this point.
*Yoann Congal is starting to ramp up as the new LTS maintainer to take over from Steve Sakoman
*Intermittent autobuilder issues, autobuilder hardware problems and large numbers of very intensive rebuilds with low sstate reuse are causing challenges in keeping patches flowing. Some intermittent issues were identified and resolved.
*The linux kernel is now defaulting to 6.18 and the other versions will soon be removed.
*Glibc 2.38 merged and a new uninative release was made.
*We have isolated the Fedora43 workers until we can root cause the binary problems it was causing when the sstate was shared to older systems
*We continue to see intermittent ptest failures for glib-networking and openssh, help would be much appreciated.
*The project is exploring the idea of applying for funding for security related work. If anyone (individual or consultancies) has ideas, please talk to Paul/Richard/TSC. This is an opportunity to work on those issues you never have time/funding for!
*CVE metrics are still high but much reduced for master, thanks!
*We will be entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved (https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16105)..
*We’re happy to be able to announce that some of the work in the RFQ will now be progressing, specifically that:
**Marta Rybczynska will be working on the security topic
**Alexander Kanvin will be working on the core workflow topic
*Other topic areas will likely be announced soon too.

*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 6.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_6.0_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.
