'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.17 has been released.
*RP is on holiday this week so should not be working
*YP 4.3.4 is in QA and is the final planned nanbield release.
*YP 5.2.3 is being reviewed for release.
*YP 5.0 rc1 is now due to build when ready.
*YP 5.0.12 is in QA
*Steve is taking patches for Dunfell until around April 8 in preparation for an April 15 build. This will be the last release of dunfell.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build shortly (and is feature freeze)
*5.0 build status:
*Linux 6.16 has been integrated but is currently not the default
**The opkg lock issue has been worked around for now in the run-postinsts script
*Patches continue to merge into master for upgrades and fixes until M3 is built
**An intermittent oe-selftest failure (sstatetests hang) was tracked down to a race in tinfoil event handling.
*The main mirroring issues left are around “downloadfilename” support in urls which likely needs to be rewritten.
**The public hash equivalence server changes aren’t ready yet unfortunately
*A new version of bitbake-setup is in master-next and is making huge progress in readiness, thanks Alexander Kanavin!
**There are issues with the size of the buildhistory repository which is being split up, this needs to happen before we can build the release.
*The Embedded Linux Conference was a success, with lots of Yocto-related talks being full to capacity. The OpenEmbedded and Yocto Project mini conferences were well attended and very interesting. Thanks to everyone who attended and made it a great event!
**A key worry now is the documentation for the release, especially given it is an LTS. There are emails on the docs list about this, help is much appreciated. This will now be the main delay on the release timeframe.
*A new yocto-status https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto-status/topics mailing list has been created where we plan to send just the project weekly status reports and any other suitable updates on the project. This should help those who found the traffic of the other mailing lists too much.
*A yocto-patches https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto-patches/topics mailing list has been setup and patches that used to go to the yocto@ list will be migrating over to this new list, making yocto@ a bit more friendly for questions and discussions.
*Some other obsolete mailing lists were removed or made read-only to try and make it easier for people to find the right place to see/send things.
*Debian 12 and Fedora 40 containers have been added to crops (Thanks Rob Wolley)
*All the crops yocto-base containers now include python3-virtualenv
*The “Binary Distro” work is now well underway and there are PR Server passthrough patches ready for review. The wiki page https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Binary_Distro_Prototype#Policies_and_Processes has had a number of policy/process proposals documented, at least as a first pass. Help is welcome to help improve these, or highlight where further documentation is needed.
*One year after the original linux.com article, an update was published: https://www.yoctoproject.org/blog/2024/03/28/maintainer-confidential-challenges-and-opportunities-one-year-on/
*There was a significant security issue with xz release tarballs. We never merged the affected version and it was never in any of our main branches but we did test it on the autobuilder and saw build failures. We continue to watch for information on any potential implications of that. We have removed the compromised tarballs from our mirrors.
*We continue to watch the NIST NVD (CVE database) situation, the recent update didn’t clarify much. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a clear path forward as yet.

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

*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.3_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*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.
