'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We are now at feature freeze for 4.3.
*YP 5.0 rc4 is in QA.
*YP 4.0.12 was released
*YP 3.1.33, The final dunfell build will follow 5.0 into QA.
*YP 4.2.3 is due to be released
*YP 4.0.18 is behind 3.1.33 for QA.
*The qemuppc ssh command hangs continues to be a mystery. It seems to be something in recent master that regressed it but it isn’t the kernel, the binutils upgrade, systemd or glibc or qemu. We’ve not seen any other hangs so the x86 issues may have been something else.
*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 acl/xattr changes are blocked on a hard requirement on tar 1.35, it is unclear how we’d achieve that in all cases.
*The master branch has diverged from scarthgap and we’re trying to keep up to date with incoming patches there.
*Patches have been resubmitted to radically alter the do_unpack process for license compliance reasons. The code is complex and hard to understand and will have a performance impact on builds as well as making things hard to debug. The risk of not taking the changes is that for some legal departments, the SPDX data isn’t detailed enough. The compromise between performance and ease of use vs. legal requirements is a tough one. We don’t really want to have two codepaths either. Feedback/review on the series welcome.
*There are also patches under review for the patch/cve metrics page to improve the usability as well as build performance graphing improvements.
*We continue to see intermittent ptest failures for glib-networking and openssh, help would be much appreciated.
*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
*The M3 build will depend upon reaching conclusions in several of these areas
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 happy to be able to announce that some of the work in the RFQ will now be progressing, specifically that:
*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.
**Marta Rybczynska will be working on the security topic
*Some CVE information is being provided for issues in meta-openembedded, this has been provided with help from the Sovereign Tech Fund.
**Alexander Kanvin will be working on the core workflow topic
*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.  
**Savoir-faire Linux will be working on the toaster and VSCode topics
**BayLibre will be working on the patchtest and project tooling topics
The other remaining topic areas should be announced soon.
We’d also note that Tim Orling (Konsulko) will be working on the layer index.

*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!
