'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7.2 should be released imminently.
*YP 5.0 rc1 is building but has many (6+) failures in the build so will have to be abandoned.
*The reproducibility issues from last week have been addressed and we are hoping to enable this by default soon, thanks to everyone who helped fix issues.
*The final dunfell build will follow 5.0 into QA.
*The news for hash equivalence is not so promising. Whilst a number of bugs were fixed, we’ve found a major problem which explains some of the failures we’ve seen and are currently working out how we may be able to resolve that issue.
*The master branch has diverged from scarthgap.
*Intermittent build failures continue to hamper builds, particularly combined with the above issues and as few people are available to attempt to debug and resolve them.
*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.
*The focus on hash equivalence and reproducibility has slowed patch merging in other areas. Patch testing has been problematic as there are a lot of regressions being found in submitted patches which also slows down the whole merging process.
*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.
*The TSC is working on LTS plans, productive discussions have been had and a new policy on handling this and stable releases should be available in the next couple of weeks.
*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.
*We are continuing to collect ideas for YP 3.1 in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UKZIGe88-eq3-pOPtkAvFAegbQDzhy_f4ye64yjnABc/edit?usp=sharing
*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.
*Due to the number of key fixes being found we have delayed YP 3.0.1 being built slightly whilst we merge those fixes, it should build in the next few days.
*There are patches for improving the build performance graphs in review. Sample output from the changes is here and here.
*If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.
*There are also patches under review for the patch/cve metrics page to improve the usability.
*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.


'''Proposed YP 3.1 Milestone Dates'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M1 Proposed build date 12/2/2019
*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!
*YP 3.1 M1 Proposed release date 12/13/2019
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*YP 3.1 M2 Proposed build date 1/20/2020
*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
*YP 3.1 M2 Proposed release date 1/31/2020
*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.
*YP 3.1 M3 Proposed build date 2/24/2020
*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.
*YP 3.1 M3 Proposed release date 3/6/2020
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*YP 3.1 M4 Proposed build date  3/30/2020
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
