Key Status/Updates:

   -

   We are now at feature freeze for 4.3 and 4.3 M3 is in QA
   -

   The numpy reproducibility issue is not solved unfortunately
   -

   There are continuing intermittent ptest issues for openssh and
   glib-networking amongst other issues
   -

   The testing for qemuppc and qemumips/qemumips64 has been reduced and
   we’re no longer testing core-image-sato-sdk on these platforms.
   -

   SPDX manifests are now enabled by default for OE-Core/nodistro as well
   as poky.
   -

   Patches have been resubmitted to radically alter the do_unpack process
   for license compliance reasons. The code is complex and hard to understand
   and will have a performance impact on builds as well as making things hard
   to debug. The risk of not taking the changes is that for some legal
   departments, the SPDX data isn’t detailed enough. The compromise between
   performance and ease of use vs. legal requirements is a tough one. We don’t
   really want to have two codepaths either. Feedback/review on the series
   welcome.
   -

   We’re happy to be able to announce that some of the work in the RFQ will
   now be progressing, specifically that:
   -

      Marta Rybczynska will be working on the security topic
      -

      Alexander Kanvin will be working on the core workflow topic
      -

      Savoir-faire Linux will be working on the toaster and VSCode topics
      -

      BayLibre will be working on the patchtest and project tooling topics
      -

      Michael Opdenacker (Bootlin) will be working on the binary distro
      topic
      -

      Smile will be working on the meta-openembedded topic area

We’d also note that Tim Orling (Konsulko) will be working on the layer
index.

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: patchtest, layerindex, 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.
