Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
After last week being filled with problems, this week felt like a ‘relaxing one’ – not that there would be fewer changes incoming, but we could focus on those changes instead of cuddling the infrastructure. And so it comes that we managed to publish 5 snapshots during this week (1119, 1121, 1123, 1124, and 1125).
The most interesting changes included:
- GNOME 3.38.1 – it took a while, but at last, it’s there
- KDE Frameworks 5.76.0
- Pango 1.48.0
- Mozilla Thunderbird 78.5.0
- binutils 2.35.1
- pam 1.5.0
- Mesa 20.2.3
- Linux kernel 5.9.10
- Qt 5.15.2
And as usual, Tumbleweed does not stop rolling, and staging areas are currently filled with these changes:
- GNOME 3.38.2
- Linux kernel 5.9.11
- brp-check-suse: a bug fix in how it detected dangling symlinks (it detected them, but did not fail as it was supposed to)
- permissions package: prepares for easier listing, while supporting a full /usr merge
- RPM 4.16: still a few packages build failures
- Ruby 3.0: mainly YaST not ready for that switch
- First experiments with rpmlint 2.0 started in Staging:M
- openssl 3.0: currently alpha 9 in Staging:O

[…] #Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2020/48 – Dominique a.k.a. DimStar (Dim*) ☞ http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/2020/11/opensuse-tumbleweed-review-of-the-week-2020-48/ •●• […]
First of all, thank you for the fantastic job you are doing. I don’t know if this is the right place to ask but I try … are there any problems with Firefox 83?
… has arrived! A greeting.
@charlie: Looks like it’s have a problem rendering the background at bottom half of window. Is it what you are talking about ? If so, yes.
@Dim*: The problem with the infrastructure you mentioned is the cause that tumbleweed-cli and review.tumbleweed.boombatower.com/ stopped working ?
No, that is entirely decoupled. During the last days (week) we had just seen some openQA issues, power outages, and all cummulating at the same time, which made for a frustrating week.
The issues around review.tumbleweed.boombatower.com are ‘older’: the system has not had access to the Bugzilla instance for quite a while and with the mailing list migration, that web interface is still downloading and inspectnig the mailing list archives of the old mailing lists. so it does not get any new information
And can you gibe an estimation when review.tumbleweed… will work again?
As that site is maintained by a volunteer contributor, i do not have any information when the site will be fully operational again.
