'''Tip of the Week:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*‘oe-pkgdata-browser’ is a new handy small helper UI added by Ross to visualise the pkgdata held within a build.
*YP 5.0 has been released!
*(anyone with tips they’d like to see here, please send to Stephen or Richard)
*Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to 5.0
*YP 3.1.33 has passed QA and is due to release
*YP 4.0.18 is in QA.
*Updates to graphing on the patch/CVE metrics page merged
*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 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 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 CVE Project announced support for more information fields on CVEs which is a good start.
*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.
*There are proposals on the openembedded-architecture list to rework how do_unpack works, switching it from WORKDIR to a new variable and changing some directory layout.
 
 
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*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!
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
*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.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.


'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M2 will build shortly, the only remaining blocking issue is the buildtools-extended-tarball fixes which should happen today.
*Python 2 has been finally removed from OE-Core. This was long scheduled and whilst its causing problems for other layers, we really need to resolve those issues now rather than later in the release cycle so it is the right time to finally do this.
*Patch merging continues to be making good progress and staying roughly up to date.
*The patch metrics showed significant improvement this week, partly from continuing work done by Alex Kanavin in keeping things up to date but also from the python2 removal.
*Bruce is struggling to get the 5.4 kernel to work on all platforms and any help, particularly with MIPS would be much appreciated. This is blocking the kernel updates at this point.
*We’re starting to see problems as distros enable seccomp in file which then conflicts with our use of pseudo. We need to come up with a better fix but for now, a wrapper script which adds “-S” to the command line for file, injected into PATH is a workaround.
*There is continued concern about the number of recurring/intermittent failures in the automated testing, mostly from selftest and testimage.
*There is a separate email about buildtools tarballs continuing toolchains to support building on wider combinations of host distros, please see that for more info if interested in this.
*We continue to struggle to get clean ‘full’ builds.
*The triage team is worried about attendance at triage meetings and the project is finding it hard to find people to help fix bugs. If anyone is willing to work on bugs, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
