openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2022/09

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Another week, filled with snapshots, is coming to an end. Tumbleweed has been rolling full speed ahead, bringing you 6 snapshots in 7 days (0225, 0226, 0227, 0228, 0301, and 0302).

The snapshots contained, amongst others, these changes:

  • ModemManager 1.18.6
  • Mesa 21.3.7
  • freerdp 2.6.0
  • Nodejs 17.5.0
  • Linux kernel 5.16.11
  • Python 3.6 interpreter has been removed for good now
  • firewalld 1.1.0
  • screen 4.9.0: CVE-2021-26937: possible denial of service via a crafted UTF
  • NetworkManager 1.36.0
  • pipewire 0.3.47
  • Ruby 3.1.1

With all these changes done, the staging projects are almost empty now. OBS is getting bored. Keep your changes coming! Anyway, ‘almost’ empty is key here: we have these changes currently to be tested:

  • KDE Gear 21.12.3
  • Poppler 22.03.0: poppler being poppler, breaking left and right (Staging:M)
  • Rust 1.59
  • go 1.16.15 & 1.17.8
  • Binutils 2.38 (Staging:A)
  • GCC 12
