Key Status/Updates:

   -

   YP 3.1.30 is due to be released
   -

   YP 4.0.15 and YP 5.0 M1 rc3 are in QA
   -

   The intermittent issues on the autobuilder continue to cause problems
   and along with issues in the regression reports, these lead to several
   rebuilds of M1.
   -

   The intermittent issues are slowing down patch testing and merging. We
   simply don't have enough people to fix the issues quickly enough and the
   people we do have are struggling. This is now slowing down stable releases
   too.
   -

   We have realized there are problems with the serial port code in qemu
   which may be resulting in some hangs or other issues. We will likely end up
   removing the “dumper” code (target command and monitor) to improve
   performance and reduce the side effects that code is currently causing.
   -

   Python3-maturin support merged, thanks Tim.
   -

   Rust updated to 1.71.1 but further updates are blocked on
   reproducibility issues.
   -

   Two small changes to dependencies for strace and util-linux were
   identified which should make a big difference to unlocking dependency
   chains and improving build performance, thanks Yoann. Small changes like
   these can make a big difference to performance overall.
   -

   An issue in configuration in one of the selftests was identified which
   was preventing sstate reuse. Fixing this should improve build times by
   removing the need to build those separate artifacts.
   -

   Regarding bugs, even if you can’t fix a bug, submitting a failing test
   case that can reproduce the issue significantly improves the chances it
   might get fixed.
   -

   There will be no project public meetings on 26th, 28th December and 2nd
   January.


Ways to contribute:

   -

   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 5.0. See:
   
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_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.
