Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Week 2026/08 delivered six snapshots to Tumbleweed (0213, 0214, 0216, 0217, 0218, and 0219). The pipeline remained clear of systemic blockers and integration hurdles, allowing the rebuild cycles to move directly into the repositories. While the usual noise persists in the bug tracker, core gating results remained green throughout the week, making for a steady and productive roll.
The most relevant changes this week were:
- Mesa 26.0.0
- AppArmor 4.1.6
- Postgresql 18.2
- libzypp 17.38.2: UAPI configuration file specification. Stop modifying /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, but add configuration extensions in your own /etc/zypp/zypp.conf.d/*.conf files.
- PHP 8.4.18
- Systemd 258.4
- KDE Plasma 6.6.0
- KDE Frameworks 6.23.0
- Linux kernel 6.19.2 (plus matching headers, strace)
- Python 3.13.12
- Mozilla Firefox 147.0.4
- Poppler 26.01.0
With those snapshots out, focus returns to the staging projects. Several stacks are already moving through validation in the Open Build Service. Below is the breakdown of what changed this week, followed by a look at what is currently in staging:
- DNF 5.4.0.0
- Linux kernel 6.19.3
- firewalld 2.3.2
- glibc 2.43: still quite some work to do
