'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0.1 has been through QA and is pending review for release
*YP 6.0 was released, thanks everyone who contributed!
*There are some CVE related announcements which are helpful to us:
*YP 5.0.18 is in QA.
**There was a CVE 5.1 Record format announcement with changes that encourage more useful data from our perspective
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
**CISA announced on linkedin the creation of https://github.com/cisagov/vulnrichment
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic:
*There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
**Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
*The project is sponsoring Syslinbit to separate out our CVE tooling from the build system into a standalone tool so that it can be used on software manifests of output at a later date. Marta sent out an update last week on this (thanks!)
**groff build race issues
*gcc 14 has merged to master. There are errors in meta-arm, meta-virtualization and meta-mingw. Now that has merged, we will build and release a new uninative version.
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*More of the WORKDIR to UNPACKDIR transition has merged and devtool oe-local-files support has been dropped.
*Master (blacksail) is open for new development
*The next stage of the WORKDIR changes is pending testing in master-next.
*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
*The aim is to build YP 5.1 M1 as soon as the various queued patches stabilize.
*We are updating the project’s security team and welcome nominations and/or feedback: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119388716
*The project is in the process of testing a new way of hosting our autobuilder with plans to switch soon if successful. Our existing hardware is past end of life and showing increased hardware failures so is currently down on capacity meaning builds are taking longer than normal.
*Monday 25th May is a public holiday in the UK and USA so there will be no patch review call.
*Automated testing continues to show large numbers of problems (e.g. a reproducibility issue in spirv-tools) but we continue to work through and fix issues as quickly as we can.
*Two issues causing failures on the new test infrastructure were tracked down to problems in bitbake. Both were effectively timing related issues.
PR server pass through support merged.
*A rust build issue of x86 hosted builds vs arm hosted builds has been identified as the cause of intermittent failures. Whilst this can be fixed, the fix breaks tests and/or reproducibility which gives challenges given the need to fix scarthgap. There are also challenges upgrading to newer rust versions.
*The performance graph improvements have merged.
*Improvements to the patch and CVE metrics page have also merged.


'''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: 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 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_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.
