Next Team Meetings: - Bug Triage meeting - Thursday 13rd Aug. 7:30am PDT ( https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09) - Weekly Project Engineering Sync - Tuesday 11th Aug. 8am PDT ( https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09) <https://zoom.us/j/990892712> - Yocto Project Patch Review - Thursday 13rd Aug. 10am GMT and Monday 17th Aug. 9am PDT ( https://zoom.us/j/97762397148?pwd=1xk0iC9hp9SjEonaTaONwTb6iWry4Eb.1) Project data dashboard: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/ Key Status/Updates: - YP 6.1 M2 has been released - YP 6.1 M3 is due in three weeks and this will be the feature freeze point for YP 6.1. - We would like to remind everyone that AI-generated code submitted to Yocto Project must include disclosure of the use of AI tools, in line with our policy in the contributor guide ( https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/submit-changes.html#acceptance-of-ai-generated-code). Joshua has sent patches adding AGENTS.md <http://agents.md> files to bitbake and openembedded-core to prompt agents to follow this policy. We are discussing further updates to our policy on AI assisted submissions as this is a rapidly evolving area. - Alex Stewart is stepping down as maintainer of opkg - huge thanks to him for his work on the project over the last 5 years, and thanks to National Instruments/Emerson for their continued support of opkg. Maintainership is being handed over to Erick Shepherd (also from NI/Emerson), there is also a call for input and anyone interested in being a co-maintainer: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/opkg/topic/120687514 - The NPM fetcher has been re-enabled in bitbake with security improvements and additional test cases - The upgrade to sbom-cve-check 1.3.3 has more correct handling of Ubuntu/Red Hat specific CVEs, which may require new patches or CVE_STATUS assignments. The fallout in OE-core has been handled, other layers may see an uptick in reported CVEs. - The SDK_TOOLCHAIN_LANGS variable has been replaced with a more general SDK_FEATURES variable to support improved SDK configurability. Uses of the old variable will need to be updated, `go` and `rust` langs are still supported as SDK features. - There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105: - Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart - aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix. - Remaining intermittent build failures of concern: - other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM - sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues - intermittent ptest failures in many recipes 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 2694 (last week 2694) ( https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/charts/combo.html) - OE-Core/Poky Patch Metrics - Total patches found: 1028 (last week 1029) - Patches in the Pending State: 139 (14%) [last week 141 (14%)] - https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/ Upcoming development releases: - 6.1 M2: is released, - 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 6.0.3 - Build Date w/c 2026-08-10 - Release Date w/c 2026-08-24 - YP 5.0.20 - Build Date w/c 2026-08-17 - Release Date w/c 2026-08-31 - 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 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.
