'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.2 is due to build this week however we want to fix one bitbake logging regression first.
 
*A fix has been merged for a logging regression found in bitbake where the first message to the console during parsing would be shown but subsequent ones would not.  
*Next week M2 is due to build so if anyone has changes for that milestone, please send ASAP.
*Fedora 36 is causing problems on the autobuilder since it drops support for the scp protocol requiring sftp on target instead to exchange files. Dropbear does not have sftp support. We need scp to perform several of our image tests. We can add sftp to both dropbear and openssh images however that then causes dev-pkg conflicts since openssh and dropbear cannot be installed at the same time but are pulled in by openssh-dev and dropbear-dev.
*YP 4.0.2 has been through QA and is likely to be released in the next few days.
*As such we’re proposing to change -dev package dependencies to become rrecommends instead of rdepends. This does radically change the contents of some images but in a way which is much more correct.
*A reproducibility issue was identified and raised a question on whether we could enable              an old QA check for these kinds of issues (‘buildpaths’ in insane.bbclass). Some bugs were fixed in the test but is has highlighted several reproducibility issues. Some have been fixed but others remain:
*There is a potential follow up change to change injected symlink dependencies from rdepends to rrecommends as well, which reduces the delta  of “dev-pkg” featured images even more.
**docs issues in lib32-vala, rpm, lib32-gtk-doc, vala, gtk-doc
*There are also problems in the cve-check selftests causing other build failures.
**musl issue in ltp
*Various npm fixes were merged, thanks Enrico.
**multilib issues in lib32-vala, vala, rpm (may overlap docs)
*There are problems with rust-cross-canadian, it has never worked correctly for the full set of different targets cross-canadian might be set to. Help to fix that would be much appreciated.
**qemuarm64 kernel-devsrc issue (Bruce looking into)
**meta-virt issues in xen-tools (Christopher looking into)
**meta-gplv2 issues in mc, tar
**lttng-modules .debug issue on beaglebone, edgerouter, and qemumips
*Fixing these will allow us to enable buildpaths by default which should allow more people to spot reproducibility issues.
*There is a discussion about layer setup tooling in the bitbake-layers discussion on the OE-Core list, input is welcome from those with an interest in this.
*There is also a RFC series about improving the eSDK tooling workflows from Alex Kanavin which may be of interest.
*Code to monitor the /proc/pressure interface has been added and there is a patch to optionally allow bitbake to reduce the number of processes running depending on system load, which it is hoped may help some of our autobuilder intermittent issues (thanks Aryaman and Randy).
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT
