'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.3.1 was released
*YP 6.1 M3 is due in two weeks and this will be the feature freeze point for YP 6.1.
*YP 6.0 M1 was released
*AI scrapers and bots continue to impact the infrastructure, taking huge amounts of time for our sysadmins and with a significant cost impact to the project.
*YP 4.0.33 is in QA
*We would like to remind everyone that AI-generated code submitted to Yocto Project must include disclosure of the use of AI tools, in line with our policy in the contributor guide (https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/submit-changes.html#acceptance-of-ai-generated-code). Joshua has sent patches adding AGENTS.md files to bitbake and openembedded-core to prompt agents to follow this policy. We are discussing further updates to our policy on AI assisted submissions as this is a rapidly evolving area.
*YP 6.0 M2 is due to build next week.
*There have been locking changes with do_fetch/do_unpack within the bitbake fetcher to allow better performance of builds with shared DL_DIRs. There are also performance improvements to the handling of repeated ssl connection queries.
*There are currently 5 high open bugs, which will block M2. Three have line of sight to being resolved:
*There is discussion on the architecture list about how we could improve the fetcher, particularly around how recursion is handled in git submodules: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2416
**Issues reusing binaries from fedora 42/43 on older systems (#16087)
*We continue to try and keep up to date with upstream releases through the AUH, big thanks to those sending version updates and fixing version update issues.
**rust do_test_compile/do_install segfault (#16058)
*There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
**Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
*Two are currently needing further work:
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
**x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix.
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (#16078)
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
*We are about to drop the 6.12 and 6.16 kernel recipes leaving just 6.18 for the next release
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
*The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic - we continue to prioritise addressing these since any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them.
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
*Patch review is now using two branches:
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
**“master-review”  - patches which pass on the autobuilder and will be discussed on the patch review call (https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=master-review)
**“master-backlog” - patches which have been discussed and need further investigation or more detailed feedback which we haven’t had time for yet (https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=master-backlog)
*Patches are merging 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.

Project data dashboard: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/

Key Status/Updates:

  • YP 6.1 M3 is due in two weeks and this will be the feature freeze point for YP 6.1.
  • AI scrapers and bots continue to impact the infrastructure, taking huge amounts of time for our sysadmins and with a significant cost impact to the project.
  • We would like to remind everyone that AI-generated code submitted to Yocto Project must include disclosure of the use of AI tools, in line with our policy in the contributor guide (https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/submit-changes.html#acceptance-of-ai-generated-code). Joshua has sent patches adding AGENTS.md files to bitbake and openembedded-core to prompt agents to follow this policy. We are discussing further updates to our policy on AI assisted submissions as this is a rapidly evolving area.
  • There have been locking changes with do_fetch/do_unpack within the bitbake fetcher to allow better performance of builds with shared DL_DIRs. There are also performance improvements to the handling of repeated ssl connection queries.
  • There is discussion on the architecture list about how we could improve the fetcher, particularly around how recursion is handled in git submodules: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2416
  • We continue to try and keep up to date with upstream releases through the AUH, big thanks to those sending version updates and fixing version update issues.
  • There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
    • Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
    • aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue

We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix.

  • Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
    • other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
    • sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
    • intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
