*YP 4.2.3 is in QA
*The 6.4 kernel upgrade is still blocked as we’ve seen two nasty looking hangs in automated testing: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/148/builds/349/steps/12/logs/stdio https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/148/builds/354/steps/12/logs/stdio as well as a preempt-rt boot error that appears more consistently: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/72/builds/7616/steps/36/logs/stdio The intermittent issues are a significant risk to automated testing stability and it is hard to know how to proceed as few people are willing/able to help with them. We’ve upgraded qemu 8.0.3 -> 8.0.4 just in case that helps.
*We merged the 6.4 kernel and were able to resolve the preempt-rt issue (thanks Paul!) however intermittent hangs on qemuppc still remain as well as questions of x86 reliability on the autobuilder.
*The various systemd issues have mostly been resolved although the AUH did break as a result and will have to be fixed and rerun.
*There are patches pending which remove source control revisions from PV and move them to PKGV, further simplifying WORKDIR paths and generally improving the code and the way AUTOREV works. This allows SRCPV to be removed as it is no longer needed. We believe all review discussion has been resolved at this point.
*Build layout changed slightly with the removal of PE and PR from the WORKDIR path.
*Intermittent autobuilder issues, autobuilder hardware problems and large numbers of very intensive rebuilds with low sstate reuse are causing challenges in keeping patches flowing. Some intermittent issues were identified and resolved.
*There are patches pending which remove source control revisions from PV and move them to PKGV, further simplifying WORKDIR paths and generally improving the code and the way AUTOREV works. This allows SRCPV to be removed as it is no longer needed.
*Glibc 2.38 merged and a new uninative release was made.
*Significant fixes were made to both the binutils and gcc testsuites which avoid many of the mips toolchain test failures. The failure counts are roughly the same (few hundred) for each architecture now resulting in ~3200 failures overall.  
*We continue to see intermittent ptest failures for glib-networking and openssh, help would be much appreciated.
*There are now consistently ~200 ltp ‘controllers’ failures on both arm and x86 targets.
*CVE metrics are still high but much reduced for master, thanks!
*A new uninative version was released to add some patches to patchelf to avoid bugs.
*We’re happy to be able to announce that some of the work in the RFQ will now be progressing, specifically that:
*A new test addition to oe-selftest caused another test to fail consistently on the autobuilder and this has been tracked down to one test corrupting the other if they run in the same TMPDIR. This only happens with specific parallelism settings where they happen to run together or with no parallelism.
**Marta Rybczynska will be working on the security topic
*We continue to see intermittent ptest failures for glib-networking, mdadm and openssh, help would be much appreciated.
**Alexander Kanvin will be working on the core workflow topic
*CVE metrics are worrying with significant numbers of open CVEs against master, many of them kernel related. The 6.4 upgrade should help but that is blocked. Mickledore is also badly affected with a record high count. https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/
*Other topic areas will likely be announced soon too.
