'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*The YP 4.3 (M4) rc1 build is still pending
*YP 5.3 M3 and 5.0.13 currently in QA.
*For the 4.3 release, the 6.5 serial port issues are still presenting a challenge. We have merged a workaround which seems to fix things for the majority of cases. There is also a second proposed patch from upstream which may help. The dilemma is which option to go for in the release and the time implications of the choice as one is tested and one is not.
*YP 5.2.4 has been released
*The only other potential issue for 4.3 is the strace ptest image space issues which is still being worked on.
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3. Patches that will be accepted now have a higher bar until after we branch master from whinlatter. Known issues:
*Patchtest did merge to OE-Core and will be included in the release allowing users to locally test their patches before submission using the same code/tests we will ultimately run against mailing list submissions. This is late in the cycle but important to help users and standalone code so worthwhile adding since it was ready. Thanks Trevor!
**check-layer tests are now running under nodistro instead of poky, so some layers are failing as they assume some DISTRO_FEATURES are enabled.
*There were multiple CVE fixes merged over the last week to ensure the release had recent widely publicized CVEs addressed.
**Toaster is broken with bitbake-setup (#16012). Help moving to supporting non-poky layouts would be good if anyone is using Toaster.
*Toaster has had upgrades to key components which help address security issues and patches are merging to enable testing to be resumed and ultimately, automated.
**The patch/cve metrics jobs need reviewing to be sure they’re correct with bitbake-setup (#16013)
*There was a big improvement in reproducibility for rust. Unfortunately this hasn’t addressed all the issues but is a big step forward and great to see progress on what was a really difficult to track down issue, thanks Sundeep.
**The build performance jobs don’t know that poky and oe-core are the same so the charts are currently wrong (#16014)
*The project is pleased to have a new content delivery network (CDN) available to share sstate from the autobuilder with. See the entry in local.conf.sample on how to use it.
**Help welcomed to resolve this issues!
*After consultation and discussions the project is now about to document its security processes to complete the work in this area. Please watch the mailing lists such as the architecture list if you have an interest in this area.
*Rust now reuses the same LLVM as Clang, and the rust-llvm recipe has been deleted. Many thanks to Deepesh and others at Wind River!. There’s a known regression building rust with clang which is being investigated.
 
*Upstream kernel just end-of-life’d 6.16 but whinlatter will ship with 6.16. It’s probably too late to upgrade to 6.17 for the release, we’ll have to see as to whether we upgrade post-release.
*“poky” as a combo-layer repository will soon no longer be needed or updated for master and whinlatter branches.

*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.
