'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.3.1 is due to be released
*YP 6.1 is due for release
*YP 6.0 M1 is in QA
*YP 6.0.4 is due for release
*YP 4.0.33 is queued for QA after 6.0 M1
*YP 5.0.21 is under review
*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).
*Patches for 6.2 have started merging into master
*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.
*Reproducibility issues between different build archs is looking much better, we have remaining issues in systemtap, rust, rpm-sequoia, mesa and rpm.
*There are currently 5 high open bugs, which will block M2. Three have line of sight to being resolved (Thanks Alex and Michael!):
*There are issues where we could accept help:
**Issues reusing binaries from fedora 42/43 on older systems (#16087)
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking?) (#16129)
**Remaining github.com references in bitbake-selftest
**Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
*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.
*Two are currently needing further work:
*Big thanks to Tim Orling for key fixes for layerindex and error reporting
**rust do_test_compile/do_install segfault (#16058)
*Builds are now working on Fedora 45 thanks to a pseudo fix and fetcher tweaks for wget v2
**x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
*UK and European daylight savings time finishes this Sunday, some meeting times track US Pacific timezone so double check your calendars next week.
*“build-sysroots: useradd command did not succeed” (#16135) was fixed, thanks Adrian!
*The CFP is now open for the OpenEmbedded Workshop to be held in Brussels on Feb 1st 2027.
*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.
*Thanks to everyone who attended the Dev Day or came and saw us in Prague. This was the largest Yocto Dev Day so far!
*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.
