'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*The project recently updated its git hosting infrastructure and there were some issues encountered with the cgit http/https repository sharing. Those issues should now be resolved, apologies if they caused issues for anyone. The git:// protocol sharing was unaffected.
*YP 5.0 rc1 is building but has many (6+) failures in the build so will have to be abandoned.
*YP 3.0.2 rc2 is in QA with the report due soon.
*The final dunfell build will follow 5.0 into QA.
*We continue to see a small number of reproducibility issues with master which need resolving for green builds (in particular gstreamer and perl).
*The master branch has diverged from scarthgap.
*A significant memory usage issue was identified during bitbake parsing where memory usage would grow in each parser thread linearly per number of recipes parsed. This would therefore particularly affect large numbers of layers, multilibs and multiconfig. The fix has merged into bitbake along with the corresponding zeus and warrior branches. For one test case it reduced peak memory usage during parsing for 5 multiconfigs from 20GB to 2GB.
*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.
*Warrior patches for 2.7.3 are out for review.
*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.
*With the git infrastructure issue updated, we now have centos8 workers added to the autobuilder.
*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 making various queued changes to the autobuilder configuration to fix bugs, improve efficiency and test coverage but this may result in some test result instability as we test and resolve issues.
*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.
*We’re collecting a list of companies, products and projects which use the Yocto Project on the wiki: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Project_Users Please add any you know are missing (or email Richard/Stephen who can add).
*There are patches for improving the build performance graphs in review. Sample output from the changes is here and here.
*The triage team is worried about attendance at triage meetings and the project is finding it hard to find people to help fix bugs. If anyone is willing to work on bugs, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
*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 M3 build date 2/24/2020
*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 M3 release date 3/6/2020
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*YP 3.1 M4 build date  3/30/2020
*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 M4 release date  4/24/2020
*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.
*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.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
