Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2025/05

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

It seemed like a quiet week to me. Probably people are getting ready to meet up in Brussels for FOSDEM. Make sure to visit the booth area and talk to the people there. We have managed to release 4 snapshots (0124, 0125, 0127, and 0128)

The most relevant changes delivered this week are:

  • Mesa 24.3.4
  • Mozilla Firefox 134.0.2
  • Drop of nscd
  • Systemd 257.2
  • FWupd 2.0.4+4
  • Wine 10.0
  • Removal of python 2

The outlook for the future sounds interesting too:

  • Meson 1.7.0
  • Timezone 2025a
  • RPM 4.20: support for declarative build systems. I started playing with this a little bit using meson.
  • KDE Plasma 6.3: beta 2 is currently staged
  • Change of default LSM from AppArmor to SELinux is progressing, status is tracked at https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1230118.
