Key Status/Updates:

• YP 5.3.1 was released
• YP 6.0 M1 was released
• YP 4.0.33 is in QA
• YP 6.0 M2 is due to build next week.
• There are currently 5 high open bugs, which will block M2. Three have line of sight to being resolved:
  • Issues reusing binaries from fedora 42/43 on older systems (#16087)
  • rust do_test_compile/do_install segfault (#16058)
  • Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
• Two are currently needing further work:
  • x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
  • AB-INT: opkg-build segmentation fault (#16078)
• We are about to drop the 6.12 and 6.16 kernel recipes leaving just 6.18 for the next release
• 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.
• Patch review is now using two branches:
  • “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.

Ways to contribute:

• We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C would be greatly appreciated. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
• There are a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder, any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be welcome! https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
• Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe maintainer. Please look at https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
