Key Status/Updates:

   -

   YP 4.0.14 and YP 3.1.29 were released
   -

   YP 4.2.4  has passed QA and under discussion pending release
   -

   Toaster news:
   -

      Testing for toaster is now starting to be enabled on the autobuilder
      although not all tests are currently passing and there are host specific
      issues.
      -

      The ability to view existing builds is being extended to allow
      debugging use of toaster even if the original build didn’t use it
      -

   In support of the above, BB_DEFAULT_EVENTLOG is being proposed as
   enabled by default in bitbake.conf so that an event log is stored for all
   builds. This could be useful for debugging outside of toaster in other
   tools too. There is a small performance/disk footprint overhead but this
   should be offset by the useful debug data.
   -

   The length of builds (world and oe-selftest) continues to be a concern.
   -

   When running the first nanbield stable series builds, our LTS maintainer
   remarked on being unable to get successful green builds. We did make
   significant improvements on the intermittent issues prior to release but
   clearly not enough unfortunately. Troubling issues include:
   -

      https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15005 - parsing
      failure on ubuntu2004/debian11 systems, maybe python/pthreads
related with
      host python
      -

      https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15166 - debuginfod
      issues (Ross has some debugging improvements pending)
      -

      Devtool “initial_rev” race issue, an example failure:
      
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/87/builds/6082/steps/14/logs/stdio
      -

      several intermittent ptest issues
      -

   There have been several fixes for meta-openembedded reproducibility
   issues and fixes for mirroring/CVE reporting on stable release branches,
   thanks Yoann.


Ways to contribute:

   -

   As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which
   are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to
   keep them alive. These components include: devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa,
   autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help
   is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
   -

   There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project:
   https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
   -

   There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 4.3. See:
   
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
   -

   We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list
   at:
   
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc
   and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing
   list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help
   facilitate this.
   -

   Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder
   intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to
   see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla:
   https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT.
