Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 3.2.2 is currently building.
*	We've been upgrading uninative and buildtools-extended-tarball
however glibc 2.33 has caused issues with build in containers and with
pseudo. Hopefully these issues are now resolved or worked around with the
latest patches.
*	There is apparently a reputation that Yocto Project is not
reproducible. It's builds are! We now have an live status report on our
website for this:
<https://www.yoctoproject.org/reproducible-build-results/>
https://www.yoctoproject.org/reproducible-build-results/ showing the status
live from the autobuilder (thanks Joshua and Michael)
*	Given the above, we've managed to improve the reproducible selftest
by separating to its own autobuilder target and showing which exclusions are
no longer needed.
*	We have also fixed reproducibility issues in a number of recipes.
There are still some low hanging issues in the current exclusion list.
*	The AUH (Automatic Upgrade Helper) has run and was relatively
successful, please help us get the version upgrades in before M3 builds on
the 1st.
*	We've changed the default umask applying to tasks in builds to make
it easier to avoid reproducibility issues (bitbake now has a
BB_DEFAULT_UMASK variable).
*	Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur. 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

 

Ways to contribute:

*	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 3.3. See:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enha
ncements.2FBugs>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_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.
