'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We plan to build M2 this week once we have pzstd included in the buildtools tarball
*YP 5.0 rc4 is in QA.
*Once M2 is built, 3.3.2 will follow into QA.
*YP 3.1.33, The final dunfell build will follow 5.0 into QA.
*There are proposals to add lz4c, zstd and pzstd as required host commands which we hope will allow better data archiving for license information and possibly for bitbake hash debugging too.
*YP 4.0.18 is behind 3.1.33 for QA.
*There are proposals and discussions on the architecture list around improving the syntax for overrides in the metadata. This would be a major change of a type we haven’t make in a while. The proposal includes the option of allowing the syntax in older bitbake versions to make metadata compatibility easier. Please comment on those discussions on the list if you have opinions on this.
*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 prserv rewrite is still pending on resolving the issues with python asyncio.
*The master branch has diverged from scarthgap and we’re trying to keep up to date with incoming patches there.
*Intermittent issues are ongoing, particularly ptest ones. Help is very much welcome on these 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
*There are also patches under review for the patch/cve metrics page to improve the usability as well as build performance graphing improvements.
*The multiconfig changes in bitbake continue to cause problems, we still need simpler test cases to reproduce issues rather than huge builds. The existing patches seem to fix some workloads and break others and current test cases are very slow to work with.
*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
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 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.
*Some CVE information is being provided for issues in meta-openembedded, this has been provided with help from the Sovereign Tech Fund.
*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.

*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!

*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*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
*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.
