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.
