Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week, we held back a few snapshots as we were unhappy with the openQA presented results. The main hold-up was a scripting error in gtk3-tools, which was exposed by RPM 4.20. It was bad enough to lead to crashes in multiple applications and thus definitively not something we wanted to release to the users. Once the issue was identified it was – as usual – a straightforward fix and Tumbleweed started rolling again. In total, we delivered 3 snapshots during this week (0130, 0204, and 0205)
The most relevant changes that were part of those snapshots are:
- timezone 2025a
- Meson 1.7.0
- RPM 4.20.0 – as a packager, please familiarize yourself with https://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.20.0
- Qt 6.8.2
- fwupd 2.0.5
- Linux kernel 6.13.1
- Mozilla Firefox 135.0
- GStreamer 1.24.12
- Python2 interpreter has been removed for good
The relevant changes coming your way as part of the next few snapshots should include:
- KDE Gear 24.12.2
- KDE Plasma 6.3
- Boost 1.87
- glibc 2.41: please help work out the errors in https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory:Staging:O
- Python 3.13 as the default Python interpreter: Pending issues can be seen at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory:Staging:A
- The change of default LSM from AppArmor to SELinux is progressing, it’s expected to be switched during the next week
