Key Status/Updates:

   -

   YP 6.0.2 is due to release
   -

   YP 5.0.19 is in review
   -

   M2 is next week!
   -

   We have identified a few linux-yocto CVEs which need triaging due to
   missing version information in the CVE databases (affecting master, wrynose
   and scarthgap), see the email sent to the list:
   https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/topic/120036383
   -

   We are happy to report we worked with Free BSD upstream and have
   resolved the NFS open/lock issue with a kernel patch that was impacting the
   autobuilder.
   -

   Systemd issues with older host kernels (e.g. RHEL 8) is still being
   worked on
   https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119870359
   -

   We have become aware we should ideally replace eudev with a minimal udev
   build from systemd instead similar to what some other distros are doing.
   -

   We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes
   needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
   -

   The layer.conf changes are likely to be deferred to 6.2 due to lack of
   time to gather community consensus before feature freeze.
   -

   We’re making little progress on intermittent build failures despite the
   problems continuing to impact test builds:
   -

      several qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
      -

      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:
   
https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto


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.
