(#16074, #16087) - still need to disable the npm fetcher (#16105) - We have not had this number of high bugs blocking releases in several years - The number of intermittent failures affecting stable release builds is becoming problematic. Any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them and we don’t have successful builds. Since we struggle to get help in addressing these, we need to change and start potentially blocking releases (including stable/LTS) until these get addressed in some way. We plan to form a dedicated team to investigate these and find ways of removing the failures from our builds which may include reducing testing. - To be clear, due to the problems above, most patch testing is now stalled as the autobuilder is currently inoperable and we can’t test anything. - The project is exploring the idea of applying for funding for security related work. If anyone (individual or consultancies) has ideas, please talk to Paul/Richard/TSC. This is an opportunity to work on those issues you never have time/funding for! 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. - For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing New to the project? - We have a list of issues we think are good places to start contributing: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=NEWCOMER Tracking Metrics: - WDD 3026 (last week 3011) ( https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/charts/combo.html) - OE-Core/Poky Patch Metrics - Total patches found: 1089 (last week 1092) - Patches in the Pending State: 151 (14%) [last week 151 (14%)] - https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/ YP 6.0 Milestone Dates: - YP 6.0 M1 Build Date 2026-01-05 - YP 6.0 M1 Release Date 2026-01-16 - YP 6.0 M2 Build Date 2026-02-02 - YP 6.0 M2 Release Date 2026-02-13 - YP 6.0 M3 Build Date 2026-03-02 - YP 6.0 M3 Release Date 2026-03-13 - YP 6.0 M4 Build Date 2026-03-30 - YP 6.0 M4 Release Date 2026-04-26 Upcoming dot releases:. - YP 5.0.15 is under review. - YP 5.3.1 is in QA. - YP 4.0.33 Build Date 2026-01-26 - YP 4.0.33 Release Date 2026-01-30 - YP 5.0.16 Build Date 2026-02-09 - YP 5.0.16 Release Date 2026-02-20 - YP 5.3.2 Build Date 2026-02-16 - YP 5.3.2 Release Date 2026-02-27 - YP 4.0.34 Build Date 2026-02-23 - YP 4.0.34 Release Date 2026-03-06 - YP 5.3.3 Build Date 2026-03-09 - YP 5.3.3 Release Date 2026-03-20 - YP 5.0.17 Build Date 2026-03-16 - YP 5.0.17 Release Date 2026-03-23 - YP 4.0.35 Build Date 2026-04-06 - YP 4.0.35 Release Date 2026-04-17 - YP 5.3.4 Build Date 2026-04-13 - YP 5.3.4 Release Date 2026-04-24 - YP 5.0.18 Build Date 2026-04-20 - YP 5.0.18 Release Date 2026-05-01 - YP 5.0.19 Build Date 2026-05-26 - YP 5.0.19 Release Date 2026-06-05 The Yocto Project’s technical governance is through its Technical Steering Committee, more information is available at: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TSC The Status reports are now stored on the wiki at: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Weekly_Status [If anyone has suggestions for other information you’d like to see on this weekly status update, let us know!] Thanks, *Stephen K.
