*YP 4.0.33 has been released
*YP 6.1 M3 is due in two weeks and this will be the feature freeze point for YP 6.1.
*YP 5.0.16 is in TSC review
*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 6.0 M2, 5.3.2, & 4.0.34 are 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.
**We are aware of changes in QA timelines and are discussing how to address them.
*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.
*We have issues which need further work that will block M3:
*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
**x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
*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.
**AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (memory corruption in pseudo?) (#16078)
*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:
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds  
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
*We also have issues we need to resolve before release:
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
**Allowing non-destructive git fetcher updates for bitbake-setup.
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.
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
**Kernel rust support.
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**Switching to pkg-config.
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**Deprecation of ltp (upstream dropped runltp and mandate kirk)
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
**How to improve DEBUG_BUILD?
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
**SBOM/cve-check changes.
**Reconcile poky and OE-Core defaults templates.
*OE-Core switched to enabling a hash equivalence server by default.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and the high number of intermittent build failures is still problematic. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
*The project has a booth at Embedded World next week, feel free to come and say Hi if you’re there!

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.
