Key Status/Updates:
- YP 5.0.15 was released
- YP 5.3.1 is under review
- YP 6.0 M1 is in QA
- YP 4.0.33 is queued for QA after 6.0 M1
- YP 6.0 M2 is due next week!
- Good progress has been made with the autobuilder issues and an M1
  build is in QA but we still don’t have the stability in builds we need
  for reliable project operations.
- There are currently 6 high open bugs, which will block M2:
    - Issues reusing binaries from fedora 43 (and maybe ubuntu 25.10) on
      older systems (patchelf triggered?) (#16074, #16087)
    - x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
    - AB-INT: build-sysroots: useradd command did not succeed (#16135)
    - Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking?) (#16129)
    - Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
- The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and
  development, continues to be problematic. Any given build is now
  statistically likely to hit one or more of them and we often 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. This could impact features
  making it into the LTS.

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.
