'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.2.4 and YP 4.3.1 have passed QA and are under discussion pending release
*YP 5.0 rc4 is in QA.
*The point releases are being held up due to issues with the regression reports and the number of intermittent failures seen during the release builds with the 4.3 series
*YP 3.1.33, The final dunfell build will follow 5.0 into QA.
*YP 5.0 M1 is due to build this week, we’ll likely do that after trying to address some of the current issues and patch queue
*YP 4.0.18 is behind 3.1.33 for QA.
*An issue was found in the recent hash equivalence changes in bitbake which was causing large delays when there was heavy IO load due to sync() calls. There is a fix in bitbake master for this. It tended to affect users with slower spinning disks and not SSDs.
*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 length of builds (world and oe-selftest) continues to be a concern.
*The master branch has diverged from scarthgap and we’re trying to keep up to date with incoming patches there.
*There is a significant change to runqueue being tested with regard to the handling of dependencies between setscene tasks. The patch should allow us to fix long standing issues with useradd functionality but it is hard to ensure all corner cases work correctly with the patch.  
*There are also patches under review for the patch/cve metrics page to improve the usability as well as build performance graphing improvements.
*The intermittent issues on the autobuilder are causing problems for master branch development and stable releases and this is slowing down patch testing and merging. We simply don't have enough people to fix the issues quickly enough and the people we do have are struggling. This is now slowly down point release approvals too as a knock on effect.
*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
*Toaster now has UI support for importing existing command line builds, the patches are in testing on master-next and we do have some automated testing available on the autobuilder.
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.
*The Yocto Project Summit was well attended and successful last week. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen!
*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: 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.
