Key Status/Updates:

   -

   YP 4.0.20 is due to be released
   -

   YP 5.1 M2 is in QA
   -

   There is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to
   making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarball
   and SDK). We’d love assistance in moving this forward and getting some kind
   of upstream feature merged to make this easier:
   https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260
   -

   SPDX 3.0 has merged and is now the default.
   -

   We updated to glibc 2.40, thanks Khem. There is an issue with building
   pseudo under the new glibc version which is being worked on.
   -

   We identified an issue which meant warnings/errors in nativesdk recipes
   were not showing on our autobuilder. We have the fix for the CI issue ready
   as soon as we fix those warnings/errors, the gcc path problems are proving
   tricky.
   -

   We were able to optimize some space usage in builds, thanks Ross. The
   results are visible on our performance charts, e.g.:
   
https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20240723-5/testresults/buildperf-alma8/perf-alma8_master_20240723030045_28fd497a26.html
   
https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20240723-4/testresults/buildperf-debian11/perf-debian11_master_20240722200022_28fd497a26.html

Further help on optimizing build disk usage would be most welcome.

   -

   Some larger patches still need help with review these would be
   appreciated:
   -

      Improved CVE tooling from Marta
      -

      kernel fitimage changes from Adrian
      -

      bitbake-setup and configuration fragments from Alexander
      -

   We’ve been trying to resolve some of the longer standing patches in
   review and are getting more caught up.


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 5.1. 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.
   -

   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.

   <https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/>
   -

   We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is
   appreciated.
   -

   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.
