Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week, Tumbleweed snapshots have hit a small bump in the road. While we managed to release three snapshots (0109, 0112, and 0113), the release pipeline is currently paused. Testing for snapshot 0114 identified a regression in the recent postfix update, which prevents the service from starting. A bug report has been filed and is currently being worked on; once resolved, Tumbleweed should resume snapshot releases.
The three published snapshots contained these changes:
- Linux kernel 6.18.4 & 6.18.5
- More GNOME 49.3-related package updates
- KDE Gear 25.12.1
- KDE Frameworks 6.22.0
- AppArmor 4.1.3
- Polkit 127
- XZ 5.8.2
- Qemu 10.2.0
- wireplumber 0.5.13: Note for GNOME users: We have seen reports about crashes with Bluetooth devices. See and follow https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1256740
Despite the current snapshots being blocked by the postfix issue, we are continuing to merge changes into Factory and let them be tested by openQA. The following updates are being tested:
- Removal of Python 3.12: in preparation of the python-* packages being enabled (soon) for python 3.14, we will lower the load on the packages first by removing Python 3.12
- Ruby 3.4 interpreter is scheduled for removal after we moved to Ruby 4.0 earlier this month
- A bunch of changes on packages to support installation on transactional systems, i.e no files written to directories outside of snapshot, i.e. no /var
- Agama 19 preview
- Run0-wrappers as a replacement for sudo and pkexec, currently waiting on https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1256515
