'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M2 is due to be released with reservations.
*YP 5.0 rc4 is in QA.
*There are significant concerns with M2 due to the build build reproducibility failures which continue to cause major problems with master too. These will have to block the M3 build/release.
*YP 3.1.33, The final dunfell build will follow 5.0 into QA.
*The NPM fetcher rework patches have now merged, we’d like to thank Jean-Marie Lemetayer for his patience whilst they were made into good shape with regression tests, thanks, its a good end result.
*YP 4.0.18 is behind 3.1.33 for QA.
*The host dependencies on makeinfo and pod2man have now been dropped to simplify build dependencies and improve reproducibility.
*YP 5.0 rc2 was abandoned after issues with git in buildtools were found caused by a curl regression. 5.0 rc3 had further buildtools issues from configuration problems. 5.0 rc4 was built cleanly and went into QA to replace rc2.
*The mpc8315e-rdb machine/BSP has been dropped from meta-yocto-bsp.
*The master branch has diverged from scarthgap and we’re trying to keep up to date with incoming patches there.
Build reproducibility issues have been tracked down to a number of causes but many more remain, some with open bugs, some with bugs yet to be filed. Any assistance with reproducibility issues is appreciated as is the major factor blocking patch merging at present.
*There are also patches under review for the patch/cve metrics page to improve the usability as well as build performance graphing improvements.
*Reproducibility failure debugging has been improved with better integration into the autobuilder to assist with this. Saved problematic output is now saved at: https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/repro-fail/
*There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990
*Ongoing kernel issues still prevent kernel upgrades merging at present but work on debugging the issues is moving forward (thanks Victor/Cisco in particular)
Please consider signing this to show support for those changes, which would improve our ability to analyze CVEs, and that of many other projects (including other distros) to do so too.
*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).
*We continue to watch the NIST NVD (CVE database) situation, the lack of CPE information is problematic for us and we are considering what alternatives we have.
*We have created a “documentation” list and a “licensing” list on the yocto project mailing list infrastructure. We believe these topics would benefit from dedicated discussions, the people involved usually aren’t interested in bulk email as would be found on other lists. The new lists can be found at: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/licensing/join and https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/join
*Some CVE information is being provided for issues in meta-openembedded, this has been provided with help from the Sovereign Tech Fund.
*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.
*The project is sponsoring Syslinbit to separate out our CVE tooling from the build system into a standalone tool so that it can be used on software manifests of output at a later date.  


'''Proposed YP 3.1 Milestone Dates'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M2 should release shortly
*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 build date 2/24/2020
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*YP 3.1 M3 release date 3/6/2020
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*YP 3.1 M4 build date  3/30/2020
*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 M4 release date  4/24/2020
*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.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
