'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are now at feature freeze for 5.0, preparing to build M3
* YP 5.0.15 was released
*YP 4.3.3 was released
* YP 5.3.1 is under review
*YP 3.1.32 is in QA
* YP 6.0 M1 is in QA
*Several changes have merged for M3:
* YP 4.0.33 is queued for QA after 6.0 M1
**genericarm64 machine (also added to autobuilder)
* YP 6.0 M2 is due next week!
**go upgrade to 1.21.7
* 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.
**rust upgrade to 1.75
* There are currently 6 high open bugs, which will block M2:
**change to bmaptool hosting
** Issues reusing binaries from fedora 43 (and maybe ubuntu 25.10) on older systems (patchelf triggered?) (#16074, #16087)
**using ipk to generate poky-altcfg images with extra space added
** x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
**6.6.20 stable kernel update
** AB-INT: build-sysroots: useradd command did not succeed (#16135)
**ability to use “extratools” on autobuilder for tests (e.g. imagemagick components)
** Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking?) (#16129)
*Changes still needed or under consideration
** Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
**genericarm64 helper artefacts publishing changes
* 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.
**QA screenshot comparison
* 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.
**sstate permissions issue testcase
 
**go upgrade to 1.22 (tests cleanly on oe-core now, concerns for other layers)
*We are seeing some odd failures, there was a devtool selftest failure (bug 15418 filed) and also an opkg lock issue as we enabled ipk images but that hasn’t recurred (yet). The opkg lock issue has been seen in builds by Khem previously.
*There is a concerning problem when trying to update the CVE database since CPE restrictions don’t always update when changed upstream. This is causing higher numbers of CVEs to be reported on the autobuilder generated charts.
*There have been questions about official RISC-V support in this next release, especially since it is an LTS. We will trial qemuriscv64 support in M3 but remove it before the final LTS release as there is no sponsor for that support.


'''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.

*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.
