'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We’re now in feature freeze for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
*YP 3.1.33 has been released
*We have not built M3 yet as there are still three issues that need to be resolved:
*YP 4.0.18 is due to be released
**strace ptest regressions with 5.1/5.2 kernels
*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.
**systemd timeouts on mips
*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.  
**hashequiv server rewrite
*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 strace regressions will be discussed with the kernel community, the best workaround may be to lower the individual test timeouts so one the affected individual tests fail rather than all tests timing out.
*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.
*The qemumips issue with systemd is puzzling as its happening in hwdb and hwdb should be generated in advance anyway. Investigation is ongoing about why its being regenerated, a workaround is to increase the timeout as mips is just slow (it does complete eventually, its just marginal).
*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 hashequiv server changes are being tested in master-next
*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.
It is planned to build M3 this week with the workarounds mentioned above worst case. Its expected there would be further hashequiv fixing during M4.
*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.
*We hope to make up time during M4 by having M3 at high quality and take advantage of our automation.
*Documentation - Due to illness Scott is unavailable for the next month or two so doc patches will be handled by Richard or Ross in the short term. We’ll likely limit them to correctness issues and defer any substantial new text. If anyone has availability and skills to work on the manuals please talk to us. We’re aware there is a patch backlog.
*If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.


'''Planned Releases for YP 3.0 {2.8}:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*M3 Release 6th Sept
*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!
*M4 Cutoff 30th Sept - this will be YP 3.0.
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*YP 3.0 {2.8 (M4)} Final Release 25th Oct
*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.
