'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*The YP 4.3 (M4) rc2 is in QA.
* YP 5.0.15 was released
*For the 4.3 release, the 6.5 serial port issues caused the rc1 build to fail. That combined with a serious patchtest behavior meant we rebuilt and submitted an rc2 to QA. There were several abandoned builds due to infrastructure issues. We are now using the upstream kernel serial fix.
* YP 5.3.1 is under review
*Our release branch (nanbield) and master have now diverged to keep the patch backlog under control so development patches are merging to master.
* YP 6.0 M1 is in QA
*Patchtest work is progressing and we’re nearly at the point where it will be replying live to emails on list. Examples of the responses can be seen on our test mailing list: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/test-list .
* YP 4.0.33 is queued for QA after 6.0 M1
*Source mirroring and reproducibility testing for meta-openembedded are now available on the project autobuilder.
* YP 6.0 M2 is due next week!
*The project is now strongly suggesting source code repositories have a SECURITY.md file to ensure users know what to do if they encounter a security issue. We are trying to ensure all key project repositories contain these. Patches are welcome and we’re encouraging all maintainers to follow this best practice.
* Good progress has been made with the autobuilder issues and an M1 build is in QA but we still don’t have the stability in builds we need for reliable project operations.
*The layer index has seen development work to ensure it uses secure components, can handle changes in practice (such as main branches), can illustrate Yocto Project Compatible status and that the errors/warnings generated from builds are under control. Thanks Tim!
* There are currently 6 high open bugs, which will block M2:
*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.
** Issues reusing binaries from fedora 43 (and maybe ubuntu 25.10) on older systems (patchelf triggered?) (#16074, #16087)
** x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
** AB-INT: build-sysroots: useradd command did not succeed (#16135)
** Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking?) (#16129)
** Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
* The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic. Any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them and we often don’t have successful builds. Since we struggle to get help in addressing these, we need to change and start potentially blocking releases (including stable/LTS) until these get addressed in some way. We are holding some dedicated meetings to triage these and find ways of removing the failures from our builds which may include reducing testing.
* Patches are merging again but there is a backlog and we’ve had to prioritize simpler changes. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.

'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*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!
*We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C would be greatly appreciated. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*There are a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder, any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be welcome! https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
*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
*Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe maintainer. Please look at https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
*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.
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
