'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 6.1 M3 is due in two weeks and this will be the feature freeze point for YP 6.1.
*YP 6.1 is due for release
*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 6.0.4 is due for release
*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 5.0.21 is under review
*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.
*Patches for 6.2 have started merging into master
*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
*Reproducibility issues between different build archs is looking much better, we have remaining issues in systemtap, rust, rpm-sequoia, mesa and rpm.
*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 issues where we could accept help:
*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
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
**Remaining github.com references in bitbake-selftest
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.
*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.
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
*Big thanks to Tim Orling for key fixes for layerindex and error reporting
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
*Builds are now working on Fedora 45 thanks to a pseudo fix and fetcher tweaks for wget v2
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
*UK and European daylight savings time finishes this Sunday, some meeting times track US Pacific timezone so double check your calendars next week.
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*The CFP is now open for the OpenEmbedded Workshop to be held in Brussels on Feb 1st 2027.
*Thanks to everyone who attended the Dev Day or came and saw us in Prague. This was the largest Yocto Dev Day so far!
