openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2022/11

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Another week filled with 7 snapshots, and this despite of one snapshot being discarded. We have published 0310, 0311, 0312, 0313, 0314, 0316, and 0317 (0315 was skipped due to some elevated risk of braking systems with a dracut update; maintainers are looking into this)

The 7 published snapshots contained these changes:

  • dbus 1.14.0
  • KDE Plasma 5.24.3
  • KDE Frameworks 5.92.0
  • Mozilla Firefox 98.0 & Thunderbird 91.7.0
  • cURL 7.82.0
  • Linux kernel 5.16.14
  • Pipewire 0.3.48
  • util-linux 2.37.4
  • Mesa 22.0
  • Node.JS 17.7.1
  • SQLite 3.38.1
  • openSSL 1.1.1n

As you can see, a lot of things are happening – and changes keep on coming. Currently, we have these items in Staging projects being tested:

  • systemd 250.4: staging is finishing the QA, should happen rather soon
  • Linux kernel 5.16.15
  • Kubernetes 1.23.4 & 1.22.7
  • NetworkManager 1.36.2
  • Podman 4.0.2

Let’s see what else is being thrown at staging over the next few days – some things can pass rather quickly
