Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2026/17

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Week 17 has been quite active: a total of 900 requests have been accepted over the days, and 5 snapshots (0417, 0418, 0419, 0420, and 0422) have been successfully tested and published. One additional one was tested but then discarded due to a regression in grub2-bls / rollback snapshot selection.

The most relevant changes shipped as part of those 5 snapshots were:

  • KDE Gear 26.04.0
  • Mesa 26.0.5
  • iproute2 7.0
  • Nano 9.0
  • openldap 2.6.13
  • Cups 2.4.17
  • gimp 3.2.4
  • libxml 2.15.3
  • php 8.5.5

As usual, the next snapshot is already building, and staging projects are filled with things being tested. We can expect these changes to come our way anytime soon:

  • LLVM 22 (snapshot 0423+)
  • Systemd 260.1
  • GNOME 50.1
  • Mozilla Firefox 150
  • Coreutils 9.11
  • Linux kernel 7.0.1
  • Rust 1.95
  • sed 4.10
  • SELinux-policies: Change store root-path for selinux modules from /var/lib/selinux to /etc; this is to stabilize usage on transactional systems further
  • glibc 2.43, metabug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1257250
  • GCC 16 as system compiler
