Key Status/Updates:

- virtio block device issues in qemu we’re hoping are fixed in qemu 7.1.0
- debuginfod host contamination
- recurrence of the libgcrypt ptest issues
- problems with the fetcher race fix
Thanks to everyone who helped debug and/or fix these.
- Builds are now running more reliably on the autobuilder but we’re still seeing some timeout issues
- CVE counts are high on all branches at present. Steve Sakoman has kindly put some encouragement in place for those helping dunfell with CVE issues, see the mailing list for details.
- 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
Ways to contribute:
- 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 4.1 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
- 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.
