'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.3 M3 rc1 was released and work is being done on the autobuilder QA email step to improve for future releases. The regression report is still being worked on.
*RP is on holiday this week so should not be working
*YP 3.1.28 is under review for release
*YP 5.2.3 is being reviewed for release.
*YP 4.0.13 rc2 is in QA
*YP 5.0.12 is in QA
*The numpy reproducibility issue remains and is proving extremely problematic with many failed builds. We may have to merge the debug patch into master.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build shortly (and is feature freeze)
*The openssh ptest intermittent failure does have better logs available but we’ve yet to decode what it means: 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
*The changes to error for overlapping symlinks under sstate control have highlighted some issues, particularly in world build configurations however so far these have proven to be real issues that needed addressing in the configuration as the files overlapped and caused determinism issues.
*Patches continue to merge into master for upgrades and fixes until M3 is built
*The number of build failures from incoming patches remains high and is causing patch review delays and headaches for the maintainers. We are not here to debug people’s patches, we’re only meant to be catching accidental/occasional issues.
*The main mirroring issues left are around “downloadfilename” support in urls which likely needs to be rewritten.
*Patches for enabling wider SPDX tooling and testing in core are being proposed but there are quite a few python module dependencies. We do have good tooling/class support for python modules so the maintenance overhead of these is relatively low but the number of modules in core has increased steadily. Feedback welcome.
*A new version of bitbake-setup is in master-next and is making huge progress in readiness, thanks Alexander Kanavin!
*Since the 6.4 kernel is already EOL, we are considering a 6.5 kernel for 4.3 as the best of several difficult options.
*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!
*The project is working on improving its security processes and policies, there are emails on the mailing list discussing this. Please highlight these to any parties who may be interested or have useful feedback.

*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.
