'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.19  and YP 5.1 M1 were released
*YP 5.0.15 is in QA
*YP 5.0.2 was built and is entering QA.
*YP 6.0 M1 will build when the 5 open high bugs are resolved.
*There were some great patch status cleanups, thanks Alexander (will show in next week’s metrics)
*We have a number of issues with build performance tests, test results and hanging glibc NFS tests on the autobuilder which need to be resolved before we can build a new release.
*There is a patch to improve the way the *FLAGS variables operate. It is possible this may change behavior in some corner cases but the usability improvements mean we’re likely to merge the patch and address any issues that arise.
*Due to the number of problems currently present, patch merging will have to slow to avoid adding any further issues.
*Some larger patches are on the list and help reviewing these would be appreciated:
*Yoann Congal is starting to ramp up as the new LTS maintainer to take over from Steve Sakoman
**Adding SPDX 3.0 from Joshua
*The linux kernel is now defaulting to 6.18 and the other versions will soon be removed.
**Improved CVE tooling from Marta
*We have isolated the Fedora43 workers until we can root cause the binary problems it was causing when the sstate was shared to older systems
**bitbake-setup and configuration fragments from Alexander
*The project is exploring the idea of applying for funding for security related work. If anyone (individual or consultancies) has ideas, please talk to Paul/Richard/TSC. This is an opportunity to work on those issues you never have time/funding for!
*We had some fixes for the install-buildtools script which showed a lack of automated testing for it. Adding some would be an interesting first contribution if anyone is interested.
*We will be entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved (https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16105)..
*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
**Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
**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.
*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.

*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 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 6.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_6.0_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.
