Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
My slacking off last week and daring to take a longer weekend is being punished by my having to review two weeks’ worth of updates again. But it should be fine, as at least from the feel, the two weeks were quiet regarding snapshots and updates. This also shows in the number of snapshots: an average count of 8 snapshots in two weeks. The 8 snapshots were numbered 0329, 0402, 0403, 0404, 0405, 0407, 0409, and 0410.
The most relevant changes included:
- libressl 3.9.1
- Tracker 3.7.1
- Linux kernel 6.8.2 & 6.8.4
- libproxy 0.5.4 & 0.5.5
- freerdp 3.4.0 & 2.11.5, parallel installable
- Mozilla Firefox 124.0.2
- coreutils 9.5
- zstd 1.5.6
- Qt 6.7.0
- fwupd 1.9.16
- Python39 modules removed from the tree (few remaining packages, that currently fail to build)
The upcoming changes being worked on include:
- Linux kernel 6.8.5
- Apache 2.4.59
- SDL 3
- Pam 1.6.1
- Python 3.11.9 & 3.12.3
- grub2 with BootLoaderSpecification (BLS) support
- dbus-broker: no progress this week
- GCC 14: phase 2: use gcc14 as the default compiler – lots of help needed: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc7
