'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are due to build YP 5.2 M1 this week
*YP 5.3.3 was released.
*YP 5.1.1 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.17 is in QA
*There will be a status report next week (17th) but then not until 7th January due to holidays.
*YP 6.0 M3 is the feature freeze for 6.0 which is our next LTS.
*Thanks to everyone who attended, presented, organized or was otherwise involved with the summit last week, there was lots of positive feedback!
*YP 6.0 M3 is now due to build however there are still key changes missing.  
*Parts of the bitbake fragments support has merged with some minor discussions pending for the rest.
*Issues with pending work needed:
*We hope to get the fragments support merged for the M1 build but we’ve run of out time for the clang patches.
**Converting scripts/run-cvecheck to sbom-cve-check
*There are discussions around how the yocto-check-layer script should verify network access is being enabled when it shouldn’t be (basically do_build triggered tasks which aren’t do_fetch).
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*The large number of kernel CVEs open continues to be a significant concern.
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds (need tags)
*rpm will have new dependencies on rust and clang to enable signing support.
**Ubuntu 26.04 support (need worker adding for testing)
*The 5.2 development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing
*Issues that have patches ready to merge:
*We need to continue to develop this, thanks to all who have contributed so far!
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
**Fixing yocto-check-layer to work with --machines
**RHEL 9 xattrs/selinux/tar issue
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
**RHEL 10/openSUSE Leap 16.0 support
*Issues that need investigation
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta
*The proposed wic changes will need wic support files to be placed in files/wic within layers going forwards.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic, including the emergence of new issues (newer kernel version?). We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
*We are aware of our git hosting giving 502 Bad Gateway errors, this is being investigated
*The CFP for the Yocto Project Workshop at Embedded Recipes 2026 closes today: https://pretalx.com/yocto-embedded-recipes-2026/cfp

*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 growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
