Hi All, Current Dev Position: YP 6.1 M2 Next Deadline: YP 6.1 M2: w/c 2026-07-20
Next Team Meetings: • Bug Triage meeting - Thursday 2nd July 7:30am PDT (_https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09_) • Weekly Project Engineering Sync - Tuesday 30th June 8am PDT (_https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09__)_ <https://zoom.us/j/990892712> • Yocto Project Patch Review - Thursday 2nd July 10am GMT and Monday 6th July 9am PDT (_https://zoom.us/j/97762397148?pwd=1xk0iC9hp9SjEonaTaONwTb6iWry4Eb.1_) Project data dashboard: _https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/_ Key Status/Updates: • YP 6.1 M1 was released • YP 6.0.2 is in QA • The number of open CVEs on scarthgap has been reduced with stable kernel updates merging. We have identified a few linux-yocto CVEs which need triaging due to missing version information in the CVE databases, see the email sent to the list: _https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/topic/120036383_ • Systemd v260+ will require a host Linux kernel of 5.10 or later due to systemd utils run during the build process. This presents issues with RHEL 8 era distros which have older kernel versions. We have patches in progress but if you’re using these distros, assistance will be needed to keep them supported. See _https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119870359_ • We continue to see high load on our infrastructure due to bots and AI scraping. This has primarily caused timeouts and errors accessing _git.openembedded.org_ & _git.yoctoproject.org_. We have mitigations in place for now. Traditional git:// protocol continues to be disabled. • We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge. • Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic: • several qemu ‘hang’ type issues • sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues • siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”) • groff build race issues • intermittent ptest failures in many recipes • We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs: _https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto_ 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 2647 (last week 2620) (_https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/charts/combo.html_) • OE-Core/Poky Patch Metrics • Total patches found: 1036 (last week 1054) • Patches in the Pending State: 145 (14%) [last week 145 (14%)] • _https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/_ Upcoming development releases: • 6.1 M2: • Build Date: w/c 2026-07-20 • Release Date: w/c 2026-08-03 • 6.1 M3: • Build Date: w/c 2026-08-31 • Release Date: w/c 2026-09-14 • 6.1.0: • Build Date (M4): w/c 2026-10-12 • Release Date: w/c 2026-11-02 Upcoming dot releases: • YP 5.0.19 • Build Date w/c 2026-06-30 • Release Date w/c 2026-07-13 • YP 6.0.3 • Build Date w/c 2026-08-10 • Release Date w/c 2026-08-24 • For future release dates, see _https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Release_calendar_ 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!] Best regards, Paul Barker
