openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2019/11

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

During week 11 we tested a total of 6 snapshots, of which only 3 were good enough to be distributed to the user base (well, not really: only one was discarded for quality reasons, two were discarded as some font changes in the installer made a lot of install tests fail in the view of openQA).

The published snapshots were: 0310, 0312 and 0314 containing these updates:

• NodeJS 10.5.2, including the switch to make nodejs10 the new default for Tumbleweed, replacing nodejs8
• KDE Applications 18.12.3
• Libvirt 5.1.0
• PostgreSQL 11
• coreutils 8.31
• Linux kernel 5.0.1
• LibreOffice 6.2.2.1
• SQLite 3.27.2
• systemd 241 (note: after upgrading from 239, the immediate reboot will be quite slow; this should be a one-off until the system was booted with 241)
• boost 1.69

You can look forward to those things currently being tested in our staging areas:

• KDE Plasma 5.15.3
• Mesa 19.0
• Linux kernel 15.0.2
• openSSL 1.1.1 – The blocker is, unchanged, nodejs (despite the move to nodejs10)
