Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week is quite difficult for me to estimate how busy it was in Tumbleweed, as I was spending the whole week at a conference and, right now, I am on the train on my way back home. Nevertheless, I want to try to summarize for you what has happened during the last week, and what snapshots you have received.
Last week I had already mentioned the upcoming integration of AppArmore 5.0 and the fact that we have observed a new curl profile causing some hiccups. Sadly, beyond that, more profiles were added/improved, which hit quite a few wifi users (wpa_supplicant profile), and we did not catch that in openQA. The main tests on openQA are geared towards the default installation, which is based on SELinux by now. There are a few additional tests intentionally added for AppArmor (which is how we found out about the cURL profile). Secondly, it only appears in combination with WiFi/wpa_supplicant, which we do test in openQA (there mainly for wpa2-enterprise integration) – but as you can imagine, the combination AppArmor/WiFi is missing. Thanks to all the users who reported the issue, and special thanks to Christian for fixing the issue as fast as he did!
Besides that, of course, more has happened. A total of 6 snapshots (0514, 0515, 0516, 0518, 0519, and 0520) were built, tested, and published, shipping these changes:
- AppArmor 5.0.0
- KDE Plasma 6.6.5
- fwupd 2.1.3
- GStreamer 1.28.3
- Linux kernel 7.0.6, 7.0.7 & 7.0.9
- Ruby 4.0.4
- Apache 2.4.67
- gpg 2.5.20
- pipewire 1.6.5
- librsvg 2.62.2
- PostgreSQL 18.4
The pipeline currently contains these changes/updates:
- Poppler 26.05.0
- Agama 21 (see blog post by the Agama developers)
- Rework of python3 packaging (as a meta package instead of a provides of the default compiler)
- gcc 16 as the system default compiler
