'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1.19 was released
*YP 5.0 rc4 is in QA.
*We are now at feature freeze for 4.1 but M3 has not been built yet.
*YP 3.1.33, The final dunfell build will follow 5.0 into QA.
*We are trying to prepare for the M3 build but the status of too many issues remains uncertain. In particular:
*YP 4.0.18 is behind 3.1.33 for QA.
**llvm buildpaths patch was requested to be rewritten and the rewrite doesn’t work
*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.
**rust ppc patch was deemed incorrect
*The master branch has diverged from scarthgap and we’re trying to keep up to date with incoming patches there.
**layer setup changes didn’t test successfully
*There are also patches under review for the patch/cve metrics page to improve the usability as well as build performance graphing improvements.
**rust SDK relocation patch is still in progress
*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
**concerns were raised over the rust crossbeam-utils atomics workaround
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.
*In addition, several other high priority (release blocking) bugs were identified in bug triage, particularly issues which are occurring intermittently but regularly and hence causing failed builds. Richard and Ross own the majority but can’t handle all these at once and rather depressingly, there was nobody to take ownership of some of them. The current list of open high bugs:
*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.
**perl builds hanging indefinitely: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14902
*Some CVE information is being provided for issues in meta-openembedded, this has been provided with help from the Sovereign Tech Fund.
**cve checking crashing intermittently with database issues: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14899
*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.  
**ptest in gcrypt intermittently but regularly failing on arm: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14800
**build path corruption when llvm is used to build mesa: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14897
**ptest infrastructure issue which stops us debugging an intermittent failure in lttng: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14901
**intermittent rust SDK host library corruption: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14892
**no automated mechanism to compare releases for ptest regressions: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14897
*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

*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!
