openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the weeks 2019/28 & 29

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers

During the last two weeks, openSUSE Tumbleweed has been reconfigured to build all packages (where possible) using LTO (Link-Time Optimization). Whenever we have such a big change in compiler or compiler flags, we are rebuilding the entire distribution. With the  12k source packages, that can take a moment. Even OBS has a limited number of workers it offers to produce the distro. Since the last review, we published 4 snapshots (0708, 0713, 0716 and 0717). Sadly, the announcer did miss two of those snapshots (0708 and 0713), due to technical difficulties (in manager lingo – in technical language, there was simply a bug exposed in Leap 15.1 and the machine creating the announcements was updated from Leap 42.3 to 15.1).

The snapshots contained those changes/updates:

  • Full rebuild with LTO enabled
  • Meas 19.1.2
  • Mozilla Thunderbird 60.8.0
  • KDE Applications 19.04.3
  • FreeType2 2.10.1
  • Linux kernel 5.1.16
  • TeXLive 2019

These things are currently being forged and tested:

  • Add -Werror=return-type to CFLAGS
  • Squid 4.8
  • Linux Kernel 5.2.1
  • Dracut 049
  • KDE Frameworks 5.60.0
  • KDE Plasma 5.16.3
  • Mozilla Firefox 68.0

    Actually , the transition to TeXLive 2019 is a mess: many of my latex files are no longer compiling (on my home computer; after I saw what happened, I locked all texlive-* packages on my office computer and the latex files still compile fine there; note that all other updates have also been made on this machine). The problem seems to be related to sans serif fonts (in text mode; the problem does not seem to occur in math mode for some reasons). A minimal example would be

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage[condensed]{roboto}
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
    \begin{document}
    \textsf{Aa}
    \end{document}

    On compilation, the following error occurs (and no pdf file is generated):
    ——-
    […]
    LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `T1/cmr/regular/n’ undefined
    (Font) using `T1/cmr/m/n’ instead on input line 7.

    (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/roboto/T1RobotoCondensed-LF.fd) [1{/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}] (./test.aux)

    LaTeX Font Warning: Some font shapes were not available, defaults substituted.

    ){/usr/share/texmf/fonts/enc/dvips/cm-super/cm-super-t1.enc}
    !pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file rbto_idpkzy.enc): cannot open encoding file for reading
    ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
    ——-

    Any idea what I should do or whom I should contact about these problems?
