'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0.2 was released
*YP 5.0.19 has been released
*YP 5.1 M2 is now due to be built
*YP 6.1 M2 is out of QA and under review
*We’re mostly up to date with the ‘standard’ patches but there are a number of trickier patch series or isolated changes pending. These are hard to make review decisions on due to limited wider review or being hard to concisely articulate concerns
*Progress has been made with some of the AB-INT issues:
*Some larger patches are on the list and help reviewing these would be appreciated:
**We identified a kernel issue likely causing the arm psplash boot hangs
**Adding SPDX 3.0 from Joshua
**The groff race issues were reported upstream and we have that section of the build disabled for groff-native now to avoid them
**Improved CVE tooling from Marta
**Several pseudo issues were patched in a recent update
**kernel fitimage changes from Adrian
**One infrastructure issue on a worker was corrected
**bitbake-setup and configuration fragments from Alexander
*There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
*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
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc. We tested rust 1.78 with master and there is a long list of reported issues on the mailing list unfortunately. Rust 1.77 has a much smaller list of problems at least in initial testing.
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
    We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix.
*Some invasive LICENSE changes have merged into master:
**We now require the LICENSE field to match SPDX identifiers.
**The build will issue warnings when this isn’t the case.
**Non SPDX licenses will need to be of the form LicenseRef-XXX
**CLOSED is no longer a valid value.
**‘WITH’ license exceptions are now supported
Big thanks to Joshua for getting us to the point where we can finally clean this up!
*Patches generated by the automatic upgrade helper (AUH) now include changelogs where these can be extracted from upstream. Initial results are good, some manual tweaking of commit messages may be needed, feedback is welcome to improve the automation.
*We continue to work on the backlog of patches which has slightly reduced.
*Fixes merged to handle ptest reports for both glibc and musl in resulttool and whilst this improves the main reports, it does cause noise in the regression reports due to poor comparison baselines.
*Remaining intermittent build failures  of concern:
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes


'''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.
