'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*The M3 rc1 QA report is available but the regression report failed, raising a dilemma on whether to release, the TSC needs to discuss
*RP is on holiday this week so should not be working
*YP 3.1.28 is in QA
*YP 5.2.3 is being reviewed for release.
*The numpy reproducibility issue remains
*YP 5.0.12 is in QA
*The openssh ptest intermittent failure does have better logs available but we’ve yet to decode what it means:
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build shortly (and is feature freeze)
http://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20230917-2/testresults/qemuarm64-ptest/openssh.log
*Linux 6.16 has been integrated but is currently not the default
*A significant flaw was found in bitbake’s inotify usage which has been causing rare intermittent build failures. These would only affect usage where BB_SERVER_TIMEOUT was enabled or tinfoil was used (e.g. recipetool, devtool, bitbake-layers). The issue means we’ve switched to using stat() calls and mtime to detect changes. External tools using tinfoil which change files will need to add an API call to have bitbake refresh its caches.
*Patches continue to merge into master for upgrades and fixes until M3 is built
*On a positive note, those issues do explain some of the timeout and AB-INT failures that have been puzzling us for some time. Fixing it also allows the flush() call removal in server logging, which should improve bitbake server’s performance during heavy I/O.
*The main mirroring issues left are around “downloadfilename” support in urls which likely needs to be rewritten.
*There are patches pending to tweak the layout of deploy/licenses/ and SPDX’s file layout to avoid overlapping files in builds breaking due to “shared” files being removed unexpectedly. We will likely enforce non-overlapping files for symlinks under sstate control going forward to avoid these issues in future.
*A new version of bitbake-setup is in master-next and is making huge progress in readiness, thanks Alexander Kanavin!
*We are continuing to see large numbers of version upgrades of recipes, some of which are having destabilizing effects. This may mean we have to reduce the numbers being accepted to stabilize for release.
*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!
*We’re happy to be able to announce that some of the work in the RFQ will now be progressing, specifically that:
**Marta Rybczynska (Syslinbit) will be working on the security topic
**Alexander Kanvin (Linutronix) 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
**Michael Opdenacker (Bootlin) will be working on the binary distro topic
**Smile will be working on the meta-openembedded topic area
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

*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.
