Key Status/Updates:

   -

   YP 6.1 M3 was released
   -

   YP 6.1 is due for build imminently
   -

   Blacksail and master are now on separate branches and have diverged.
   -

   We are not aware of anyone focusing on specific 6.1 stabilization work
   so we will likely build 6.1 very soon.
   -

   We’ve continued progress on the build architecture reproducibility
   issues, thanks all!
   -

   There are issues where we could accept help:
   -

      Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
      -

      aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue -
      thanks for the work and fixes so far on this.
      -

      Remaining github.com references in bitbake-selftest
      -

   Bitbake’s network disabling has recently been enhanced to include
   landlock support. This means the network isolation for tasks can be more
   effective on certain kernel/distro combinations using newer technology.
   -

   Next week is Open Source Summit EU and Yocto Project Developer Day in
   Prague! Contact Paul or Megan if you are attending and want to meet up with
   other Yocto Project folks, especially if you’re new to our community.
   -

      Regular meetings on Tuesday and Thursday next week will be canceled,
      including the Tech call (Tue 6th), Patch review call (Thu 8th) and Bug
      triage call (Thu 8th). The Monday patch review call will be going ahead.


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.
