Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Due to last weeks openSUSE Conference the review had been skipped last week, so I will try to catch up on this as well. Despite that, I will cover 4 snapshots (0621, 0623, 0625 and 0626).
Snapshot 0621 marked the first release of openSUSE Tumbleweed being built using GCC6. As pre-announced, everything up to ring2 (things on the DVD) had been tested to work. Sadly, There were reports about Thunderbird failing to load its profiles, but creating new ones seemed to be fine (which is what openQA tries to do). A quick-fix was released shortly after to ensure that users are not blocked for too long by this (via the Tumbleweed update channel).
What else did those snapshots bring?
- Distribution completely built using GCC 6
- KDE Applications 16.04.2
- Qt 5.6.1
- Quite a lot of GCC6 build fixes on top of it
Despite the conference, it seems people found enough time to keep on contributing more and there are things being processed in stagings:
- TeXLive 2016
- KDE Framework 5.23.0
- Mesa 12.0
Hi!
As always it’s great to read about this! Spreading…
BTW, I have some issues with libqt5 or such, many packages can’t be updated due a lost dependencies… I read something similar in mailinglist
I hope that can be fixed soon, and be back in Plasma…now my TW it’s on Xfce
‘ve phun!! 😉
The issues you report are likely due to qtwebkit (or whatever it was called) not being updated at the same time… it’s not a ring package and not part of a default install, so was not part of the testings and is not step-locked on the version.
In plus, the sumbission we had is failing for i586 – which I ignored with the last checkin round, but this also means the issue will only disappear for x86_64… but better than nothing I guess. The KDE Team is working with respective other teams on a solution.
Thanks for the answer, I’m using Xfce by now… I’ll wait an update that fix that!
Next monday a new “pingback” from my blog, sharing a new Tumbleweed review for spanish speakers users!! 😉
