'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1.30 is due to be released
*YP 5.0 rc4 is in QA.
*YP 4.0.15 and YP 5.0 M1 rc3 are in QA
*YP 3.1.33, The final dunfell build will follow 5.0 into QA.
*The intermittent issues on the autobuilder continue to cause problems and along with issues in the regression reports, these lead to several rebuilds of M1.
*YP 4.0.18 is behind 3.1.33 for QA.
*The intermittent issues are 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 slowing down stable releases too.
*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 have realized there are problems with the serial port code in qemu which may be resulting in some hangs or other issues. We will likely end up removing the “dumper” code (target command and monitor) to improve performance and reduce the side effects that code is currently causing.
*The master branch has diverged from scarthgap and we’re trying to keep up to date with incoming patches there.
*Python3-maturin support merged, thanks Tim.
*There are also patches under review for the patch/cve metrics page to improve the usability as well as build performance graphing improvements.
*Rust updated to 1.71.1 but further updates are blocked on reproducibility issues.
*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
*Two small changes to dependencies for strace and util-linux were identified which should make a big difference to unlocking dependency chains and improving build performance, thanks Yoann. Small changes like these can make a big difference to performance overall.
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.
*An issue in configuration in one of the selftests was identified which was preventing sstate reuse. Fixing this should improve build times by removing the need to build those separate artifacts.
*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.
*Regarding bugs, even if you can’t fix a bug, submitting a failing test case that can reproduce the issue significantly improves the chances it might get fixed.
*Some CVE information is being provided for issues in meta-openembedded, this has been provided with help from the Sovereign Tech Fund.
*There will be no project public meetings on 26th, 28th December and 2nd January.
*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!
