'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.3.4 is in QA
*YP 3.1.33 has been released
*YP 3.5 Planning document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OXw-NKoL_Vb9RWI6sRPs3zTcAn4hHPtG0Y2BIs7xIzo/edit?usp=sharing
*YP 4.0.18 is due to be released
*There is a proposed syntax simplification on the openembedded-architecture list with a patch on bitbake-devel. This would phase out the use of append/prepend/remove operators with +=/=+ and mean it would just work with “=” alone. *We’ve not recommended this combination and it removes a redundancy which confuses new users.
*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.
*There will be some infrastructure down time at the end of the year for the autobuilder and NAS, likely between the 26th and 31st December. This will affect the autobuilder workers, downloads and sstate shares from the project but not websites or git services. Last time we had a NAS outage it caused some issues so we are trying to ensure those issues are fixed in the stable branches and master with mirroring in place for key things like uninative before then. If anyone is aware of any other failure modes we need to address, please let us know.
*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.
*Workarounds for the github protocol changes have been merged to all stable branches and to master with url changes also being made in many cases.
*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.  
*We have seen a drop in the number of patches in “Pending” state again this week. Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to review patch status and handle accordingly.
*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.
*5.15 kernel headers and kernels have been merged.
*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.
*There have been a number of small but potentially useful bitbake fixes to file checksum tracking, runall option handling and hung parsing threads.
*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.
*Intermittent issues continue to rise and help is very much welcome on these 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
*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.

*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 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*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.
