openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2023/32

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

At least over here where I live, the last few days we had slightly less summery time and more rain – and bad weather means more work in front of the screen. The same thing likely happened to other contributors, looking at the things we passed through staging or are still there. This week has seen 7 snapshots (0804..0810).

The most relevant changes during this week were:

  • Mesa 23.1.5
  • openSSL 3.1.2
  • Linux kernel 6.4.8 & 6.4.9
  • Libvirt 9.6.0
  • Perl 5.38 (incl all perl modules rebuilt)
  • GCC 13.2
  • LibreOffice 7.6.0.1 & 7.6.0.2
  • QEmu 8.0.4

Staging projects are currently testing these changes:

  • Meson 1.2.1
  • Python 3.11, configured for PEP-0688 (externally managed system tree)
  • Node.JS 20.5.1
  • glibc 2.38
  • NetworkManager 1.44.0
  • systemd 253.8
  • Mozilla Firefox 116.x
  • FMT 10: breaks mariadb boo#1213219 and ceph boo#1213217; help welcome
