Some references remain, see the link below. - There is a possibility that openssl 4.0 is causing TLS issues in git connection requests in CI. Help/insight welcome. - There is a vblank kernel warning message causing problems in CI with the 7.2 kernel. - Given the limited number of people working on bug fixing, the number of issues likely to be fixed in M4 is low and we are considering speeding up M4 by a few weeks, allowing more time for 6.2 M1 and for the release to be built by ELC in Prague. - AI scrapers and bots continue to impact the infrastructure, taking huge amounts of time for our sysadmins and with a significant cost impact to the project. - Adrian has made significant improvements to the IDE integration with devtool which have now merged, thanks! - There are issues which are in a position where others could now help: - Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart - aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue - thanks for the work and fixes so far on this. - See Richard’s email on the list https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/areas_we_could_do_with/121159956 which details some others too 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. 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 2622) ( https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/charts/combo.html) - OE-Core/Poky Patch Metrics - Total patches found: 1054 (last week 1050) - Patches in the Pending State: 135 (13%) [last week 136 (13%)] - https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/ Upcoming development releases: - 6.1 M3: is in QA. - 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 5.0.20 is due for release. - Release Date w/c 2026-08-31 - YP 6.0.4 - Build Date w/c 2026-09-28 - Release Date w/c 2026-10-12 - YP 5.0.21 - Build Date w/c 2026-10-05 - Release Date w/c 2026-10-19 - 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.
