Key Status/Updates:

   -

   YP 3.1.30, 4.0.15 and 5.0 M1 were released
   -

   YP 4.3.2 is in QA
   -

   Rust was upgraded from 1.71.1 to 1.74.1 in master. 1.75 has
   reproducibility issues.
   -

   We were able to remove all exclusions on reproducibility in OE-Core and
   it is once again 100% reproducible.
   -

   The sstate-cache-management script was rewritten in python. It is
   possible there are regressions compared to the previous version, we’ll have
   to fix them as they’re identified.
   -

   A workaround for the long standing autobuilder failures on debian11 and
   ubuntu 18.04 was identified by preloading libgcc. This is now applied for
   python 3.8 and 3.9 versions within bitbake.
   -

   We have switched to the 6.6 linux kernel
   -

   There are patches proposing new “inherit_defer” syntax for bitbake to
   handle conditional inherits in a way more in keeping with user
   expectations. Please see the discussion on the openembedded-architecture
   list.
   -

   Functions related to signature/hash debugging had an API change
   resulting in a need to update bitbake and OE-Core together to allow the
   functionality to be improved.
   -

   Improvements to the CDN tests and signature debugging were merged which
   improve usability and also address intermittent autobuilder failures
   -

   Regarding bugs, even if you can’t fix a bug, submitting a failing test
   case that can reproduce the issue significantly improves the chances it
   might get fixed.


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 5.0. See:
   
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
   -

   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.
