openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2022/17

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Week 17 was filled with snapshots – 7 of them to be precise. We have published snapshots 0421…0427 (with the next ones almost ready for QA).

The main changes included were:

  • TeXLive 2022
  • Postfix 3.6.6
  • Linux kernel 5.17.4
  • jdk-11.0.15+10 (April 2022 CPU)
  • systemd: systemd-boot efi binary is now signed
  • Mesa 22.0.2
  • KDE Gear 22.04.0

Staging projects are currently busy building and testing these things:

  • ffmpeg 5: use ffmpeg 5 as default over ffmpeg 4; results are mixed so far
  • GNOME 42.1
  • cURL 7.83.0
  • Linux kernel 5.17.5
  • some fdupes changes: aid with reproducible builds (order dups by name)
  • GCC 12 as default compiler
