'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.2.4 and YP 4.3.1 have passed QA and are under discussion pending release
*YP 6.0.1 is due for release
*The point releases are being held up due to issues with the regression reports and the number of intermittent failures seen during the release builds with the 4.3 series
*YP 6.1 M1 is in QA
*YP 5.0 M1 is due to build this week, we’ll likely do that after trying to address some of the current issues and patch queue
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
*An issue was found in the recent hash equivalence changes in bitbake which was causing large delays when there was heavy IO load due to sync() calls. There is a fix in bitbake master for this. It tended to affect users with slower spinning disks and not SSDs.
*An initial round of patches to remove shell=True subprocess usage in OE-Core have now merged
*The length of builds (world and oe-selftest) continues to be a concern.
*AUH is now running daily in incremental mode so we can avoid large batches of upgrade patches and spread them out as well as reacting more quickly to new upstream releases. We’re still tweaking some of the behaviours and reporting but if anyone has feedback/concerns, let us know.
*There is a significant change to runqueue being tested with regard to the handling of dependencies between setscene tasks. The patch should allow us to fix long standing issues with useradd functionality but it is hard to ensure all corner cases work correctly with the patch.  
*We’ve deliberately aimed to get up to date with the AUH success patches to better evaluate the ongoing upgrades.
*The intermittent issues on the autobuilder are causing problems for master branch development and stable releases and this is slowing down patch testing and merging. We simply don't have enough people to fix the issues quickly enough and the people we do have are struggling. This is now slowly down point release approvals too as a knock on effect.
*We have merged support for `devtool upgrade --stable` and the upstream-stable-release-point bbclass. We hope to use this to track upstream projects with known good stable release series, but we need input and discussion on what the criteria should be. Please participate in the discussion on the OE-Architecture list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119437109
*Toaster now has UI support for importing existing command line builds, the patches are in testing on master-next and we do have some automated testing available on the autobuilder.
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic and unchanged from last week:
*The Yocto Project Summit was well attended and successful last week. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen!
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues - the qemu upgrade merged, at least some issues still occur
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**groff build race issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes (python3-click was tweaked)
*We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto
 


'''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 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*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.
