'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.2 M1 and YP 4.0.6 passed QA and are due for release.
*YP 4.0.10 is ready to release after TSC review
*Builds on the autobuilder are problematic at present due to connection losses with the controller machine. We understand the cause and will be migrating the controller to a new server/location to address this.
*YP 4.2.1 is in QA
*That, combined with OOM issues from recent bitbake cache changes meant patches are merging more slowly this week.
*M1 is approaching fast (two weeks left), so please try and get any major changes submitted soon.
*There are a number of bitbake patches pending which are a bit more invasive than usual. These are aiming to address:
*Patches have been merging into master, thanks to everyone for both review feedback and iterating on patches
**memory issues seen with the recent cache changes and bitbake -S
*We need to upgrade to gcc 13 soon, this is blocking enabling Fedora 38 workers on the autobuilder as we don’t have a compatible uninative release.
**UI hangs where the bitbake server has crashed/hung or otherwise failed
*There are time64 patches being proposed to handle Y2038 issues on 32 bit architectures which likely need further discussion since the compiler flag changes aren’t without risk and potential side effects.
**issues where bitbake may have removed another server instances bitbake.sock network socket file
*We’re aiming to improve documentation as we go along in this release, please keep this in mind when sending patches. Adding to the documentation as we go will make the release a lot easier.
**console interaction issues where bitbake may not respond to Ctrl+C
*Autobuilder instability is a concern as known good builds are regularly hitting issues, particularly the “ubuntu 20.04 libgcc not found” issue which is likely python version specific but there are other intermittent issues too. As an example, three of the last nightly builds failed in succession. Due to the intermittent nature of these bugs, few people are willing to spend time on them but they mean patches are being very slow to merge. Help is very much needed but it is hard to be specific about where/what the issue is unfortunately.
**event handler race issues around datastore accesses
*The OE TSC decided in favour of adding export flag expansion despite the performance impact so that patch will be queued.
*CVE levels in master are concerning again
*With some debugging, the bitbake.sock disappearance was potentially identified and also issues with OOM process killing locking up bitbake’s server and UI were studied.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*There will be no status report next week, the next will be 3rd January 2023.

*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: patchtest, layerindex, 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!

We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
