openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the weeks 2019/08

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Week 8 is what we like to see in term of the number of snapshots: We managed to get out 4 snapshots (0214, 0215, 0217 and 0219), containing updates like:

• MozillaFirefox 65.0
• Flatpak 1.2.0
• KDE Applications 18.12.2
• KDE Frameworks 5.55.0
• KDE Plasma 5.15.0
• Linux Kernel 4.20.7
• PackageKit should now transparently switch from ‘up’ to ‘dup’ on Tumbleweed
• suse-module-tools: implemented fs blacklisting logic

The stagings are currently busy forging/testing these changes:

• openSSL 1.1.1: nodejs fails to build
• binutils 2.32
• Removal of Ruby 2.5 from the distribution
• PostgreSQL 11 made it back on the list
• Linux kernel 4.20.10 and beyond
