Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
There seems to be no stopping Tumbleweed. It has again been rolling at full speed, with 7 snapshots (1125…1201) released this week. As usual, some smaller, some larger ones.
Let’s dive right in and see what changes have been delivered:
- Icewm 3.2.2
- VLC 3.0.18
- Ruby 3.1.3: There was an issue that ruby extensions are newly looked for in vendor_ruby/3.1.0/x86_64-linux-gnu, where the ‘-gnu’ part is new. All ruby packages in Tumbleweed have been rebuilt to follow this change
- SQLite 3.40.0
- Meson 0.64.1
- Python setuptools 65.6.3
- gawk 5.2.1
- libgcrypt 1.10.1: MD5 is disallowed in FIPS mode now
- Systemd 252.2
- LibreOffice 7.4.3RC2
- Bash 5.2.12
- KDE Plasma 5.26.4
- Cryptsetup 2.6.0
- Linux kernel 6.0.10
- Tcl/Tk 8.6.13
- ffmpeg has been switched to use version 5.x by default; ffmpeg-4 is still available and used by some packages
As that list got so long, it’s no surprise that the staging projects do not carry a lot of changes to be tested at the moment – not a lot, but still some, namely:
- rubygem-rspec 3.12.0: The remaining YaST fixes have been incoming and if nothing new comes up, this should be shipped next week
- Podman 4.3.1: fails the openQA tests
- Python pytest 7.2.0
- Switch to openSSL 3: tracked in Staging:N, main failures are nodejs18, nodejs19, openssh, mariadb
And I’m sure we will see many more changes that developers and packagers are currently preparing, but that has not yet been submitted.
