Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 4.2.2 is due to be released
*	YP 4.3 M2 is due to build this week
*	Our toolchain test results showed high failure rates for qemuarm64
and qemuppc. Three patches have merged removing ~210,000 failures taking the
overall failure count to 15,000 in 3,200,000 tests. There is a summary on
the OE-Core mailing list:

 <https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/184498>
https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/184498

*	There have been further ptest-runner issues so further patches are
in testing
*	The 6.4 kernel has merged but is not the default yet as various
issues are resolved
*	We're considering switching to a pre-release version of autoconf due
to improvements in largefile/64 bit time support.
*	We have an open request for quotation for several engineering
tasks/projects:
<https://www.yoctoproject.org/community/yocto-project-engineering-request-fo
r-quotation/>

The document as an update added to the end and the RFQ closes on 24th July.

 

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>
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_Enha
ncements.2FBugs>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.3_Unassigned_Enhan
cements.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/mai
ntainers.inc>
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/main
tainers.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>
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT.
*	Help us resolve CVE issues:
<https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/> CVE metrics 
*	We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is
appreciated.
