'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.2 M2 was released
*YP 5.0.14 was released
*YP 5.0.7 is under review and passed QA
*YP 5.3 rc4 has passed QA and is under review
*We are now 3 weeks from feature freeze for 5.2
*The 5.3 QA report is available and no major release blocking issues were found so we should be able to finally make the release.
*The project autobuilder has upgraded the controller to buildbot 4.2 which was tricky due to our custom plugin and changes to the framework used for the UI. The new UI should have the same functionality and seems faster and easier to use in places.
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
*We’d like to request help to process the open github pull requests for openembedded-core and bitbake:
*Welcome to Paul and Yoann in their new roles and huge thanks to Steve!
**https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/pulls
*Patches for master are merging and the builds are looking greener, there is a problem with the test result regression reports still causing failures as well as some check-layer issues.
**https://github.com/openembedded/bitbake/pulls
*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
*Having these open doesn’t look good for the projects and we can’t disable them, some have been open for a long time. We did already clean up the poky pull requests.
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
*The project has agreed guidance on AI submissions: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/message/6300
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
*There are multiple occasional but annoying autobuilder failures we could do with help debugging/fixing, summarized by https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/ :
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
**An occasional hang for non-kvm x86/x86-64 qemu images early in boot, see in multiple kernels including the recent 6.12:
*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!
***https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/28/builds/955
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved
***https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15463
**dnf failures in where ssh appears to fail, usually on qemumips but also seen on qemuarm: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13674
**Ongoing CDN failures
**New memory allocation issues hinting we may need to scale builds back
*We are open to help developing patches to help debug issue further or other ideas on the causes and/or ways to mitigate them
*The Linux Foundation published information on navigating global regulations and sanctions: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/navigating-global-regulations-and-open-source-us-ofac-sanctions
*Please contact TSC members if there are questions/concerns.
*The gomod mirror issue in meta-openembedded continues to give failed builds on the autobuilder.
*Gold linker support was removed from core.
*Linux 6.6 was removed so we now just have the 6.12 kernel we plan to release YP 5.2 with.
*The performance metric charts were improved to be able to show both commit based and time based data, allowing performance changes to be isolated more easily.
*The triage team decided to clear out the “newcomer” bugs in bugzilla since the remaining ones were likely too hard without specialist knowledge. We’d love to see new/realist newcomer bugs being added.
*The 5.2 development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing
*We need to continue to develop this, thanks to all who have contributed so far!

*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 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 will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
