openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2023/29

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

This week is all in the spirit of some data center moves. OBS had been announced to have fewer worker powers and openQA is also in read-only mode, busy moving to a new home. This of course has some effect on the number of Tumbleweed snapshots: we won’t be publishing snapshots that cannot go through openQA. For this reason, we have only published 4 snapshots this week (0714, 0716, 0717, and 0718).

The most relevant changes contained in these snapshots are:

• Mozilla Firefox 1150.2
• audit 3.1.1
• Linux kernel 6.4.3 (with full lockdown enabled)
• Libvirt 9.5.0
• Freetype2 2.13.1
• krb5 1.21.1
• Poppler 23.07.0

Staging projects started getting crowded – mostly due to openQA being down and no tests being executed at the moment. The list of staged changes includes:

• systemd 253.7
• Rust 1.71
• Meson 1.2.0: enabled Python cache builds by default, resulting in a bunch of files section not matching anymore
• Linux kernel 6.4.4
• PHP 8.2.8
• Samba 4.18.5
• GCC 13.2
