'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.3 M3 rc1 was released and work is being done on the autobuilder QA email step to improve for future releases. The regression report is still being worked on.
*YP 4.3 M4 is due to build this week. We have challenges due to the kernel version.
*YP 3.1.28 is under review for release
*YP 3.1.28 was released.
*YP 4.0.13 rc2 is in QA
*YP 4.0.13 is due to be released
*The numpy reproducibility issue remains and is proving extremely problematic with many failed builds. We may have to merge the debug patch into master.
*The biggest challenge for the M4 build is that the 6.4 kernel was made EOL. Thanks to hard work from Bruce we have 6.5 recipes but this kernel version is throwing multiple errors in testing:
*The openssh ptest intermittent failure does have better logs available but we’ve yet to decode what it means: http://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20230917-2/testresults/qemuarm64-ptest/openssh.log
**cryptodev breaks (patch in master-next)
*The changes to error for overlapping symlinks under sstate control have highlighted some issues, particularly in world build configurations however so far these have proven to be real issues that needed addressing in the configuration as the files overlapped and caused determinism issues.
**x86 image testing randomly fails with login issues (both selftest and testimage)
*The number of build failures from incoming patches remains high and is causing patch review delays and headaches for the maintainers. We are not here to debug people’s patches, we’re only meant to be catching accidental/occasional issues.
**arm kvm ptest images randomly throw jitterentropy errors and fail
*Patches for enabling wider SPDX tooling and testing in core are being proposed but there are quite a few python module dependencies. We do have good tooling/class support for python modules so the maintenance overhead of these is relatively low but the number of modules in core has increased steadily. Feedback welcome.
**strace ptest failures (x86 and arm)
*Since the 6.4 kernel is already EOL, we are considering a 6.5 kernel for 4.3 as the best of several difficult options.
**arm LTP testing fails with OOM crashes
We don’t have fixes for the OOM issue or strace at this point, potential ideas for other issues are undergoing testing.
*The numpy reproducibility issue was finally root caused and resolved.
*Issues with mesa-native and contamination with llvm from the host have been resolved
*Improvements to bitbake-getvar output and handling of undefined values were merged
*The openssh ptest intermittent failure does have better logs available but we’ve yet to decode what it means:
http://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20230917-2/testresults/qemuarm64-ptest/openssh.log
*The project is working on improving its security processes and policies, there are emails on the mailing list discussing this. Please highlight these to any parties who may be interested or have useful feedback.

*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!
