Key Status/Updates:

• YP 5.0.9 is pending release.
• YP 5.2 rc2 is in QA.
• We have fixes/workarounds merged for the most frequent recent autobuilder issues apart from the clang problem after the mesa merge and CDN issue (which is being worked on).
• Patches continue to merge into master as review/time/testing allows. We are seeing a high number of failures in incoming patches which take time to resolve.
• The gcc 15 upgrade is close to ready to merge but there are failures in layers outside core.
• The clang/llvm recipe merge patch series is now mostly passing autobuilder testing and would step us closer to the meta-clang merge. Review help appreciated.
• Various other upgrades and fixes were merged to master.

Ways to contribute:

• As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
• There is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarball and SDK). We’d love assistance in moving this forward and getting some kind of upstream feature merged to make this easier: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260
• There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
• There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.2_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
• We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
• 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.
• Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
• We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
• Ongoing project development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing We need to continue to develop this as it will allow us to potentially find ways to fund specific work items.
