openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the weeks 2023/30 & 31

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

As so often during the vacation season, I take some Fridays off and am punished for it by having to do reviews spanning more than one week. The same thing happened this time, so you had to wait an extra week again to find out what happened in Tumbleweed. A total of 10 snapshots have been published since my last review (0719, 0724, 0727..0731, 0801, 0802, and 0803). Between 0719 and 0724, there was a more significant gap due to SUSE moving some infrastructure between data centers.

The most relevant changes delivered during the last two weeks include:

  • Qemu 8.0.3
  • systemd 253.7
  • Linux kernel 6.4.4 & 6.4.6
  • openSSH 9.3p2
  • PHP 8.2.8
  • Mesa 23.1.4
  • cURL 8.2.0 & 8.2.1
  • GStreamer 1.22.5
  • Samba 4.18.5
  • Mozilla Firefox 115.0.3
  • KDE Plasma 5.27.7
  • Inkscape 1.3

Staging projects are well used, and we have the following changes in the queue for testing:

  • glibc 2.38
  • Mesa 23.1.5
  • Mozilla Firefox 116 (fails to build on i586, aarch64, armv7l – inclusion blocked)
  • Linux kernel 6.4.8
  • Perl 5.38.0
  • Python Sphinx 7.1.x
