'''SWAT Team Rotation:'''<br/>
'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
*Bug Triage meeting Thursday May 9th at 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)
*Weekly Engineering Sync Tuesday May 7th at 8 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09)
*Twitch -  See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester


*SWAT lead is currently: Armin
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*SWAT team rotation: Armin -> Anuj on Feb. 1, 2019
*YP 3.1.33 has been released
*SWAT team rotation: Anuj -> Paul on Feb. 8, 2019
*YP 4.0.18 is due to be released
*https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Build_Failure_Swat_Team
*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. Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
*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.
*The introduction of UNPACKDIR has happened, maintainers should be able to improve their S=WORKDIR recipes (which should use S, not WORKDIR/UNPACKDIR) and fix the common use of WORKDIR in do_compile/do_install to access files from SRC_URI which should now be UNPACKDIR.
*gcc 14 has patches pending thanks for Khem and Martin in particular. Merging the new gcc version is needed to generate new uninative tarballs to support Fedora 40 builds or any other distro using the new gcc version.
*The project is in the process of testing a new way of hosting our autobuilder with plans to switch soon if successful. Our existing hardware is past end of life and showing increased hardware failures so is currently down on capacity meaning builds are taking longer than normal.
*Mailing list changes now mean any google hosted email accounts have the mailing list From: address rewritten. This had impacted our ability to handle patches but key maintainers now have workarounds for this.


'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.6.1 should release this week. The transition to automated QA is raising some questions about test results but we’re working through those.
*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!
*YP 2.7 M2 was built and is in QA and is 8% done. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/2.7_QA_Status
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*There have been a further round of gitsm fixes (and new test case additions). If anyone is seeing gitsm fetcher issues please report them. There are requests to backport these changes to the stable series. This has risks but people are reporting bugs there so is something we need to consider.
*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
*There has been little follow up from the last round of AUH patches. Please can maintainers work on this and get these submitted!
*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.
*There has been little feedback on the proposed virtgl changes, these will likely merge as no discussion will be taken to mean there are no objections. This will have a performance impact.
*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.
*There have been changes to the way the arm tunes are handled which merged after much discussion. The solution that merged should be safe and uncontroversial but if these do cause problems for anyone, please report ASAP.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We’re getting much improved results from our automated testing but these are highlighting a number of problems. There is an email about issues found in ptest. The biggest challenge here now is finding people able to step up and help improve things.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
