'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0.5 was released.
*YP 6.1 is due for release
*YP 4.0.23 is in under review.
*YP 6.0.4 is due for release
*Patch merging is continuing to flow but there are a lot of upgrades pending that were recently posted.
*YP 5.0.21 is under review
*BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY was removed.
*Patches for 6.2 have started merging into master
*yocto-check-layer is now checking for SECURITY files and there are changes planned for increasing the QA checks tested for.
*Reproducibility issues between different build archs is looking much better, we have remaining issues in systemtap, rust, rpm-sequoia, mesa and rpm.
*The yocto-testresults repository was reworked and the commits recreated to avoid problems with the size of the repository. The log files were separated to an http share here: https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/testresult-logarchives/
*There are issues where we could accept help:
*These changes pose a question/challenge for the stable branches. The changes mean we should avoid breaking git mirroring.
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
*As a result of this work, the reproducible builds summary page now functions much faster.
**Remaining github.com references in bitbake-selftest
*Several performance tweaks were made for bitbake pipe handling for large amounts of log data to avoid slow ptest builds and hangs.
*We will update rsync to v3.5.1 on scarthgap & wrynose. This is an exception to the usual process as the backported CVE patches were not reviewable or maintainable.
*A potential new “include_all” conf file directive (discussed on the openembedded-architecture list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2055 ) has no strong objections and is proceeding to proof of concept
*Big thanks to Tim Orling for key fixes for layerindex and error reporting
*There are patches under review for the addition of configuration fragment management to bitbake. It does require the addition of support for ‘/’ characters in variable flag names (which has been requested in the past too).
*Builds are now working on Fedora 45 thanks to a pseudo fix and fetcher tweaks for wget v2
*The 5.2 development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing
*UK and European daylight savings time finishes this Sunday, some meeting times track US Pacific timezone so double check your calendars next week.
*We need to continue to develop this, thanks to all who have contributed so far!
*The CFP is now open for the OpenEmbedded Workshop to be held in Brussels on Feb 1st 2027.
*Thanks to everyone who attended the Dev Day or came and saw us in Prague. This was the largest Yocto Dev Day so far!


'''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 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 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 identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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.
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.2_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing
*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.

*We have a list of issues we think are good places to start contributing: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=NEWCOMER
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
