openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2020/26

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Week 26, aka half of the year, is over. But as we all know, Tumbleweed does not care much about the weather, the temperatures, or the season at all. It only cares for its contributors to have fun – at any given moment. So, week 26 has seen 3 snapshots (0618, 0621, and 0622).

The snapshots contained these changes:

• VLC 3.0.11
• KDE Plasma 5.19.1
• Linux kernel 5.7.2
• LibreOffice 7.0 beta2 (please report bugs if you see regressions)

The staging projects are filled with these relevant changes:

• Linux kernel 5.7.5
• KDE Plasma 5.19.2
• systemd 245.6: the maintainer started adding the minor release number to the package version to make it clearer, what the openSUSE package is based on
• LibreOffice 7.0 will enable skia
• openSSL 3.0
• RPM change: %{_libexecdir} is being changed to /usr/libexec. This exposes quite a lot of packages that abuse %{_libexecdir} and fail to build
