'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.1.2 is in QA
*YP 5.0 rc4 is in QA.
*A large number of package upgrades have merged bringing us up to date with various upstreams.
*YP 3.1.33, The final dunfell build will follow 5.0 into QA.
*We have started moving code out of core bbclass files into the function libraries to help reduce parsing memory use, volumes of data transfer and sstate signature data sizes. Help is welcome in developing further patches to improve our function libraries.
*YP 4.0.18 is behind 3.1.33 for QA.
*The autobuilder controller has been relocated to deal with connectivity issues, we do have some issues to iron out before things are back to normal service. We were unable to upgrade the buildbot version as there were too many other moving pieces.
*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.
*We are trying to upgrade uninative to include libgcc to deal with pthread_cancel failures. Newer versions of patchelf are proving problematic and appear to be causing segfaults and we’re trying to untangle this from other issues.
*The master branch has diverged from scarthgap and we’re trying to keep up to date with incoming patches there.
*We have reverted the tune for qemux86-64 back to corei7-64 since we still have v2 hardware that won’t work properly with v3 under KVM and similar.
*There are also patches under review for the patch/cve metrics page to improve the usability as well as build performance graphing improvements.
*A uninative bug has been exposed by recent bitbake datastore improvements which could cause sstate to be missed/duplicated.
*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
*We merged a number of neat rust improvements which add on target cargo support and added automated QA tests for this functionality so we can ensure it continues to work and doesn’t regress. Thanks Alex Kiernan, we hope to see more series like this one!
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.
*CVE levels in master are becoming worrying again, help would be appreciated to address the open issues.
*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.
*The autobuilder maintenance window now occurs on Mondays.
*Some CVE information is being provided for issues in meta-openembedded, this has been provided with help from the Sovereign Tech Fund.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is 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.

*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: patchtest, layerindex, 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!

We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
