Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
I’m again spanning two weeks worth of updates sent your way. If you follow all upgrades, you have received a total of 8 snapshots since the last review. Those were snapshots 0315, 0318, 0320, 0321, 0322, 0324, 0325 and 0327. The most noteworthy changes were:
- KDE Plasma 5.15.3
- KDE Frameworks 5.56.0
- Linux kernel 5.0.2 & 5.0.3
- Bash packaging change: /bin/sh is now update-alternative handled. So far, no other package in openSUSE provides alternatives
- Mesa 19.0.0
- Tracker 2.2.1 (there are data migration issues known when coming directly from Tracker 1.4 – this would affect users switching from Leap 42.x to Tumbleweed. Simply resetting the tracker database would be enough)
- Qt 5.12.2
- NetworkManager 1.16.0
- SELinux 2.9
- Mozilla Firefox 66.0
And despite all those updates, our stagings are not free – and we’re having those updates in the pipeline:
- Mesa 19.0.1
- Rust 1.33 (Thunderbird fails to build)
- CMake 3.14.0: libzypp/zypper ail to build
- wireshark 3.0: libvirt fails to build
- Qt 5.13 beta is staged (not meant to be shipped)
- openSSL 1.1.1 – The blocker is, unchanged, nodejs (despite the move to nodejs10)
