Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week has been filled with 7 snapshots (0411, 0412, 0414, 0415, 0416, 0416, and 0418). From a staging perspective, things looked rather easy – which means the package maintainers have done a great job submitting things that work and have most likely been pretested. The most interesting changes during this week include:
- Apache 2.4.59
- Linux kernel 6.8.5 & 6.8.6
- Pam 1.6.1
- Kiwi 10.0.10 & 10.0.12
- KDE Gear 24.02.2
- KDE Frameworks 6.1.0
- KDE Plasma 6.0.4
- SDL3 (no consumers yet)
Staging projects are well balanced, some are in ready to accept for the next snapshots, some are building/testing and, as usual, some are failing tests. The most interesting changes currently being tested are:
- Python 3.11.9 & 3.12.3
- Linux kernel 6.8.7 & kernel-longterm 6.6.28
- util-linux 2.40
- libxml 2.12.6: a long-lasting attempt to get to 2.12.x – but the results are looking good by now. There are two packages left that are failing: VirtualBox & libqt5-qtwebengine. For both, there should be some fixes available.
- dbus-broker: no progress this week
- GCC 14: phase 2: use gcc14 as the default compiler – lots of help needed: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc7
