Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

This is going to be the last weekly review – for this year. Yes, you’re right: there is one more week left for the year, but I’ll try to stay away from Computers during this time. Ana will make sure to keep Tumbleweed rolling though. She’s been the main driver for the last few months, meaning there is no change.

During the last week, a total of 6 snapshots (1214, 1215, 1217, 1218, 1219, and 1221) have been published (one was held back by openQA and discarded).and brought you these changes:

  • kudmp 2.0.0
  • cURL 8.5.0
  • SQLite 3.44.2
  • Boost 1.84.0
  • KDE Frameworks 5.113.0
  • Node.JS 21.4.0
  • OpenSSH: CVE-2023-48795 fixed
  • cmake 3.28.1
  • Sudo 1.9.15p4
  • ppp 2.5.0
  • Kalpa patterns and configuration included (images pending)
  • More work for systemd-boot / full-disk-encryption, see https://news.opensuse.org/2023/12/20/systemd-fde/

Progress in staging is unsurprising and a bit slow, as many people are stepping away from the computers and dedicating their time differently. The following things are still being worked on:

  • Mozilla Firefox 121.0
  • Appstream 1.0.0
  • RPM 4.19.x: llvm17 fails to build (?)
  • Ruby 3.3 tests have started (yast failures identified so far)
  • libxml 2.12.x: slow progress
  • openSSL 3.2.0
  • c-ares 1.21.0: breaks nodejs
  • wxWidgets 3.2.3: breaks wxPython bindings
  • dbus-broker: no progress: openQA fails to launch the network stack in the installer
