'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.3.1 is due to be released
*YP 6.1 M1 was released
*YP 6.0 M1 is in QA
*YP 6.0.2 is in review
*YP 4.0.33 is queued for QA after 6.0 M1
*YP 5.0.19 is in QA
*YP 6.0 M2 is now targeting a build date of 16th Feb. This will give us three weeks each for M3 (target date 9th March) and M4 (target build date 30th March).
*We are now two weeks away from M2!
*Good progress has been made with the autobuilder issues but we still don’t have the stability in builds we need for reliable project operations.
*We have identified a few linux-yocto CVEs which need triaging due to missing version information in the CVE databases (affecting master, wrynose and scarthgap), see the email sent to the list: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/topic/120036383
*There are currently 5 high open bugs, which will block M2. Three have line of sight to being resolved (Thanks Alex and Michael!):
*We are having some challenges with the autobuilder, both with an NFS server open file/lock build up of some kind causing slowdown and eventual halting of write operations and also a mkdir cache race issue. We are working to debug both issues but it is distracting from other work like patch review and new development (e.g. layer.conf format changes).
**Issues reusing binaries from fedora 42/43 on older systems (#16087)
*Systemd issues with older host kernels (e.g. RHEL 8) is still being worked on https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119870359
**Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking?) (#16129)
*We have become aware we should ideally replace eudev with a minimal udev build from systemd instead similar to what some other distros are doing.
**Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
*We continue to see high load on our infrastructure due to bots and AI scraping. This has primarily caused timeouts and errors accessing git.openembedded.org & git.yoctoproject.org. We have mitigations in place for now. Traditional git:// protocol continues to be disabled.
*Two are currently needing further work:  
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
**rust do_test_compile/do_install segfault (#16058)
*A key pseudo memory corruption issue when interacting with bash was identified and patches are being worked on for a new pseudo release to address this.
**x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic:
*“build-sysroots: useradd command did not succeed” (#16135) was fixed, thanks Adrian!
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
*The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic. Any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them and we often don’t have successful builds. Since we struggle to get help in addressing these, we need to change and start potentially blocking releases (including stable/LTS) until these get addressed in some way. We are holding some dedicated meetings to triage these and find ways of removing the failures from our builds which may include reducing testing.
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
*Patches are merging again but there is a backlog and we’ve had to prioritize simpler changes. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**groff build race issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto
