openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2022/42

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

To me, this week felt somewhat unspectacular. Staging projects are moving along, snapshots are coming out and no drama happened. That’s a good week, right? For Tumbleweed, this seems to be any regular week with 7 published snapshots (1014…1020).

The most interesting changes delivered this week include the following:

  • Linux kernel 6.0.1 & 6.0.2
  • KDE Gear 22.08.2
  • Libzypp 17.31.3: Implement GeoIP feature for zypp
  • libxml 2.10.3
  • Node.JS 18.11.0
  • KDE Plasma 5.26.1
  • Virtualbox 6.1.40
  • Meson 0.63.3

The staging projects are almost all empty – almost. Still, a few things are being build-tested and QA:

  • Systemd 251.6
  • Mesa 22.2.2
  • fwupd 1.8.6
  • Mozilla Thunderbird 102.4.0
  • Mozilla Firefox 106.0
  • Samba 4.17.1
  • Swig 4.1.0 (beta 1)
  • gpgme 1.18.0: breaks LibreOffice
  • python Sphinx 5.3.0: breaks python doc builds
  • suse-module-tools 16.0.24: breaks dpdk and Virtualbox
