Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Dominique has been enjoying a vacation these last two weeks and left Tumbleweed in my hands. It’s been quite an interesting fortnight.
These two weeks have only seen 3 snapshots released, numbered 0807, 0810 and 0817. Snapshots 0811, 0812, 0816 and 0818 were all produced but discarded for a number of reasons including:
- DVD ISO grew too big (twice!)
- Random vim build failure produced an amusingly broken snapshot
- And probably a few other bits and pieces I’m forgetting now
Plus on a personal note this was the fortnight I moved house so I wasn’t able to fix all the issues as fast as normal when they came up. Thanks for everyone’s patience and understanding
The changes delivered these weeks included:
- kernel 5.13.8
- KDE Gear 21.08
- apparmor 3.0.3
- vim 8.2.3318
- And lots of other miscellaneous fixes
The future, near or far, will bring those updates:
- kernel 5.13.12 (Currently being tested in 0819)
- systemd v249.2
- nodejs 16.6.2
- glibc 2.34
- podman & crio with crun enabled by default
- and many more…
Have a lot of fun!
– Richard
