Due to the Holidays, the next weekly status report will be sent out Jan. 8th, 2016.  Have happy holidays!

Key Status/Updates:

  *   M1 QA report is out. There are several comparatively major issues, e.g. busybox utilities in the SDK images instead of coreutils ones however we have either fixes in master or mitigation factors and current feeling is we'll release the rc1 and move on to concentrating on M2.
  *   The number of 'random' failures on the autobuilder continues to be a serious concern/risk.
  *   We automated -dbg FILES generation from the metadata, FILES_${PN}-dbg is no longer needed.
  *   Bitbake trackback handling has been significantly improved (better filenames/line numbers)
  *   New "bitbake X -c task-" syntax where it will build up to but not including task.
  *   toaster moved forward significantly with various key changes such as the Django 1.8 upgrade.
  *   musl integration patches landed
  *   Improvements to build statistics (buildstats) were made based on real world performance debugging experiences.
  *   Worrying number of M1 bugs were not completed[1] and will presumably move to M2. WDD and bug trend continue to rise.

[1] See https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Old_Milestone   If you have any on this list please move them to M2 or beyond.
