Key Status/Updates:

   -

   YP 6.0.3 is under review.
   -

   YP 5.0.20 is in QA.
   -

   YP 6.1 M3 is due to build this week and we are at feature freeze
   -

   For 6.1 M3 our current intent is to merge:
   -

      rpm 6
      -

      openssl 4
      -

      clang 23.1.0
      -

      7.2 linux kernel
      -

   There were bot protection issues on layerindex causing forbidden errors
   to queries from layerindex code. These have now been resolved and should be
   working again.
   -

   AI scrapers and bots continue to impact the infrastructure, taking huge
   amounts of time for our sysadmins and with a significant cost impact to the
   project.
   -

   We continue to try and keep up to date with upstream releases through
   the AUH, big thanks to those sending version updates and fixing version
   update issues.

It is worth noting that the ‘success’ updates do still need work on the
commit message changelogs and much of this work is being pushed to Richard.

   -

   There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could
   now help, as detailed in
   https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
   -

      Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
      -

      aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue

We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in
both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done
and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual
fix.

   -

   Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
   -

      other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
      -

      sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
      -

      intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
      -

   Progress was made on some of the risc-v speed differences in qemu which
   should help some of the autobuilder intermittent failures, thanks Trevor!


Want to contribute? We would appreciate help with the following areas:

   -

   We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to
   work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C
   would be greatly appreciated.
   
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
   -

   There are a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder,
   any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be
   welcome! https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
   -

   Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe
   maintainer. Please look at
   
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc
   and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
