'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We’re now in feature freeze for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
*YP 5.0 rc1 is building but has many (6+) failures in the build so will have to be abandoned.
*Several key 3.0 changes have now merged:
*The final dunfell build will follow 5.0 into QA.
**5.2 linux-libc-kernel-headers
*The master branch has diverged from scarthgap.
**5.2 kernel recipes
*For 5.0, we were able to switch to the new hash equivalence server however the need for websockets complicated the worker configuration and needed new buildtools tarball versions which are causing various problems.
**Removal of LSB and poky-lsb and replacement with alt config testing
*During the rc1 build as well as pip and setuptools issues within buildtools, we also saw a qemuppc boot issue, an instance of the spdx dependency problem, an sstate mirror issue and a github network error. This highlights how important fixing these is over the release cycle. The volume of these may impact our ability to maintain the LTS.
**Patches have significantly reduced the dependency on python2
*Thanks to everyone who sent documentation patches, we’re in much better shape with the migration guide and release notes now. Further improvements are still very welcome.
**Reproducible builds are now being tested for core-image-minimal
*The “Binary Distro” work is now well underway and there are PR Server passthrough and image testing patches under review. The wiki page has had a number of policy/process proposals documented, help is welcome to help improve these, or highlight where further documentation is needed.
*There are the following changes still under discussion/testing:
*There are patches for improving the build performance graphs in review. Sample output from the changes is here and here.
**Systemd vs. sysvinit defaults (maybe for the poky alternative configuration tests)
*There are also patches under review for the patch/cve metrics page to improve the usability.
**Making 5.2 the default kernel for qemu (has regressions, see below)
*We continue to watch the NIST NVD (CVE database) situation, the recent update didn’t clarify much. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a clear path forward as yet but using data directly from MITRE may help give partial information. These issues are making it hard to know what to include in the 5.0 release as it isn’t clear which changes are security related.
**Hashserv performance issue resolution
 
**Final configuration of hash equivalency
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
**toolchain testsuite patch series
*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!
*The sstate hash equivalency continues to have challenges:
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
**we need to rework the client/server communication to scale to the autobuilder
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
**there are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to expose
*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.
**we have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour should be
*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.
**test cases are proving to be problematic to write in a maintainable way
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*Patch merging is roughly up to date again
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*We have several significant problematic bugs that are being worked on:
 
**5.2 stap build issue on qemuarm
'''YP 5.0 Milestone Dates:'''<br/>
**5.2 kprobes error message (qemuarm64, qemumips64)
*YP 5.0 is building
**qemumips machine hang
*YP 5.0 M4 Release date 2024/04/30
