Key Status/Updates:

-

There is a proposal and proof of concept for changes to layer configuration and setup out for discussion/review:

https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2463

-

The proposed layer changes will likely be more invasive than many of the recent changes but also incorporate a number of new features and improvements which will make them useful to everyone and allow various cleanups of existing code.
-

There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools:

https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467

-

The Yocto Project wiki has undergone significant cleanup, mostly with removal of obsolete pages/information. We plan to migrate the remaining data to a different solution. If anyone is able to help with review of content, please let us know.
-

The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions:
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
-

There was a widely reported security issue with musl+openssh. The project has published details on the situation here:

https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto-security/message/1728

-

We had some positive response to our request for help with the issues highlighted from the bug triage team last week. Further help is requested with the following devtool & recipetool issues:
-

go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944) -

recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816) -

We have moved a couple of planned releases forward by a week to avoid needing to make a release during the end of the year holidays. -

      6.1.1:    2026-11-23
      -

      6.0.5:    2026-11-30
      -

      5.0.22:   2026-12-07
      -

      6.2 M1:   2026-12-14

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. -
