openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2019/24

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers

The last week has been rather ‘slow’ when it comes to snapshots published. Unfortunately, OBS had a small bug last Friday, which was fixed rather quickly, but its effects were devastating on the staging process and on the product builds. It took us several iterations of identifying missing binaries and rebuilding the missing bits and pieces. For this reason, I can only report about two snapshots published this week *0607 and 0712) – and for this, I’m even cheating and including the latest snapshot which is only just in progress of being distributed to mirrors.

The changes included in those two snapshots are:

  • gdb 8.3
  • libvirt 5.4.0
  • KDE Plasma 5.16.0
  • LibreOffice 6.2.4.2
  • SQLite 3.28.0

The list of major changes in Staging areas did not change drastically – and the main topics worked on are still:

  • KDE Applications 19.04.2
  • LLVM 8.0
  • openssl 1.1.1c
  • Texlive 2019
  • Qt 5.13
  • swig 4.0
  • cmake 3.14

    I am experiencing an oddity in FF67.0, Gnome 3.32.2 on the Gnome Wiki page, showing a dark bg instead of white, almost like a prefers-dark thing. I am using adwaita-dark, which does trigger preferes-dark mode in FF on Gnome in opensuse/fedora. Find nothing in the stylesheet to show prefers dark, and doesn’t appear that way in firefox on Fedora, nor other dark mode preference capable browsers.

    I am not sure what to do with that information.
