Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

The first week of the last month of 2018 is over – but openSUSE Tumbleweed keeps on rolling without an end. 4 snapshots have been published in this week: 1130, 1203, 1204 and 1205, bringing those updates:

  • Linux kernel 4.19.5
  • Virtualbox 5.2.22
  • PackageKit 1.1.12
  • Samba 4.9.3
  • KDE Plasma 5.14.4

The stagings are all a bit long-living at the moment, and the future changes to be announced largely unchanged compared to last week:

 

  • glibc 2.28, Python 3.7, openssl 1.1.1: the three all interdepend on each other and cause a bunch of new failures – See Staging:C
  • LLVM7 / Mesa 18.2.x (rust fails to build with LLVM7)
  • Installer redesign: the sidebar is coming back (showing where in the installation workflow one is currently)
  • PostgreSQL 11
  • Linux kernel 4.19.7
  • Perl 5.28
