'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are now at feature freeze for 4.3.
*RP is on holiday this week so should not be working
*YP 4.0.12 was released
*YP 5.2.3 is being reviewed for release.
*YP 4.2.3 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.12 is in QA
*The qemuppc ssh command hangs continues to be a mystery. It seems to be something in recent master that regressed it but it isn’t the kernel, the binutils upgrade, systemd or glibc or qemu. We’ve not seen any other hangs so the x86 issues may have been something else.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build shortly (and is feature freeze)
*The acl/xattr changes are blocked on a hard requirement on tar 1.35, it is unclear how we’d achieve that in all cases.
*Linux 6.16 has been integrated but is currently not the default
*Patches have been resubmitted to radically alter the do_unpack process for license compliance reasons. The code is complex and hard to understand and will have a performance impact on builds as well as making things hard to debug. The risk of not taking the changes is that for some legal departments, the SPDX data isn’t detailed enough. The compromise between performance and ease of use vs. legal requirements is a tough one. We don’t really want to have two codepaths either. Feedback/review on the series welcome.
*Patches continue to merge into master for upgrades and fixes until M3 is built
*We continue to see intermittent ptest failures for glib-networking and openssh, help would be much appreciated.
*The main mirroring issues left are around “downloadfilename” support in urls which likely needs to be rewritten.
*The M3 build will depend upon reaching conclusions in several of these areas
*A new version of bitbake-setup is in master-next and is making huge progress in readiness, thanks Alexander Kanavin!
*We’re happy to be able to announce that some of the work in the RFQ will now be progressing, specifically that:
*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!
**Marta Rybczynska will be working on the security topic
**Alexander Kanvin will be working on the core workflow topic
**Savoir-faire Linux will be working on the toaster and VSCode topics
**BayLibre will be working on the patchtest and project tooling topics
The other remaining topic areas should be announced soon.
We’d also note that Tim Orling (Konsulko) will be working on the layer index.

*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.
