Key Status/Updates:

   -

   YP 5.0.15 is under review.
   -

   YP 5.3.1 is in QA
   -

   YP 6.0 M1 will build when we have resolved enough issues to mean the
   build is likely to succeed and the release of sufficient quality
   -

   Good progress has been made with the autobuilder issues and builds now
   complete but contain failures.
   -

   There are currently 6 high open bugs, some of which block M1, some could
   be deferred to M2:
   -

      Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking?) (#16129)
      -

      Issues reusing binaries from fedora 43 (and maybe ubuntu 25.10) on
      older systems (patchelf triggered?) (#16074, #16087)
      -

      still need to disable the npm fetcher (#16105)
      -

      x86 kvm broken on Fedora 53 (#16074
      <https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16074>)
      -

      AB-INT: build-sysroots: useradd command did not succeed (#16135
      <https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16135>)
      -

   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 are holding some dedicated meetings to triage these and find ways
   of removing the failures from our builds which may include reducing testing.
   -

   Patches are merging again but there is a backlog and we’ve had to
   prioritize simpler changes. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for
   changes needing in depth review/feedback.


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.
