'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.3 M4 is due to build this week. We have challenges due to the kernel version.
*YP 5.0.14 was released
*YP 3.1.28 was released.
*YP 5.3 rc4 has passed QA and is under review
*YP 4.0.13 is due to be released
*The 5.3 QA report is available and no major release blocking issues were found so we should be able to finally make the release.
*The biggest challenge for the M4 build is that the 6.4 kernel was made EOL. Thanks to hard work from Bruce we have 6.5 recipes but this kernel version is throwing multiple errors in testing:
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
**cryptodev breaks (patch in master-next)
*Welcome to Paul and Yoann in their new roles and huge thanks to Steve!
**x86 image testing randomly fails with login issues (both selftest and testimage)
*Patches for master are merging and the builds are looking greener, there is a problem with the test result regression reports still causing failures as well as some check-layer issues.
**arm kvm ptest images randomly throw jitterentropy errors and fail
*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
**strace ptest failures (x86 and arm)
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
**arm LTP testing fails with OOM crashes
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
We don’t have fixes for the OOM issue or strace at this point, potential ideas for other issues are undergoing testing.
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
*The numpy reproducibility issue was finally root caused and resolved.
*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!
*Issues with mesa-native and contamination with llvm from the host have been resolved
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved
*Improvements to bitbake-getvar output and handling of undefined values were merged
*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
*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 4.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.3_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.
