Key Status/Updates:

   -

   YP 5.0.20 is due for release
   -

   YP 6.1 M3 is in QA
   -

   We have removed much of the github.com usage in bitbake-selftest which
   is improving autobuilder connectivity issues. 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.
