Key Status/Updates:
- YP 5.0.18 has been released
- YP 6.0.1 is in QA.
- YP 6.1 M1 is due to build this week
- We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for
changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
- Patches to remove shell=True subprocess usage have merged in bitbake
but OE-Core still needs significant work, help would be welcome with this.
- We have merged support for `devtool upgrade --stable` and the
upstream-stable-release-point bbclass. We hope to use this to track
upstream projects with known good stable release series, but we need input
and discussion on what the criteria should be. Please participate in the
discussion on the OE-Architecture list:
*https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119437109*
<main@lists.openembedded.org | Home;
- We have changed the xz and zstd decompression dependencies to make the
build slightly more efficient and use the host tools for decompression
- Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic and unchanged
from last week:
- several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
- sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
- siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
- groff build race issues
- intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
- We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto
Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs:

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.
*Bug List*
<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! *Yocto Project Dashboard: BugZilla Stats*

- Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe
maintainer. Please look at
*maintainers.inc « include « distro « conf « meta - openembedded-core - OpenEmbedded Core layer*
<https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc>
and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
